Information Gathering – The First Step of Ethical Hacking
Before launching any attack, hackers perform reconnaissance (recon) to understand their target. In this video, I’ll walk you through practical techniques to gather information about a website:
✅ Checking technologies and hosting details using online tools
✅ Finding the exact data center location
✅ Copying a website with HTTrack
✅ Discovering subdomains and identifying active ones
These methods are used in the information gathering phase of ethical hacking. Remember, this video is for educational purposes only – use these skills to secure and protect systems, not to attack unauthorized targets.
⚠️ Disclaimer: Unauthorized testing is illegal. Always practice in a legal lab environment or with explicit permission.
