- Phase 1: Network Scanning Tools
Master essential security scanning tools for network discovery, vulnerability assessment, web application testing, wireless security, and compliance validation. This skill covers tool selection, configuration, and practical usage across different scanning categories. Linux-based system (Kali Linux recommended) Network access to target systems Proper authorization for scanning activities Basic networking concepts (TCP/IP, ports, protocols) Understanding of common vulnerabilities Familiarity with command-line interfaces 1. Network Discovery Reports - Identified hosts, ports, and services 2. Vulnerability Assessment Reports - CVEs, misconfigurations, risk ratings 3. Web Application Security Reports - OWASP Top 10 findings 4. Compliance Reports - CIS benchmarks, PCI-DSS, HIPAA checks Primary tool for network discovery and security auditing: High-speed port scanning for large networks: Enterprise-grade vulnerability assessment: Key Nessus features: Comprehensive CVE detection Compliance checks (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CIS) Custom scan templates Credentialed scanning for deeper analysis Regular plugin updates Open-source vulnerability scanning: Comprehensive web application testing: Core testing
