Which is the first step followed by Vulnerability Scanners for scanning a network?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Vulnerability scanning solutions perform vulnerability penetration tests on the organizational network in three steps:
1. Locating nodes: The first step in vulnerability scanning is to locate live hosts in the target network using various scanning techniques.
2. Performing service and OS discovery on them: After detecting the live hosts in the target network, the next step is to enumerate the open ports and services and the operating system on the target systems.
3. Testing those services and OS for known vulnerabilities: Finally, after identifying the open services and the operating system running on the target nodes, they are tested for known vulnerabilities.
