During the reconnaissance, or information-gathering, phase of penetration testing, the more information and details we have about the target, the more likely we will be to succeed in exploiting a vulnerability on the target system or network.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Capturing network traffic using various tools
- Packet analysis
Let's dive in!
