Attack surface
Scope boundaries
Why this matters

Reconnaissance helps security teams understand what information is exposed before deeper assessment begins.

02 · VISUALIZE

See what happens internally

Interactive visualization loads here.
03 · PRACTICAL

Perform the activity

  1. Review a supplied training profile/domain.
  2. Collect only the fields requested by the trainer.
  3. Build an asset-information worksheet.
  4. Separate passive from active observations.
Workshop safety: Activities involving scanning, web vulnerabilities or security testing must be performed only on the assigned training target or intentionally vulnerable lab.
04 · CODE / COMMANDS

Read and understand the working example

Worksheet:
Target
IP / host
Technology
Visible services
Potential attack surface

This example is shown for guided learning. Real host/network execution is reserved for the isolated cyber-range stage.

05 · CHALLENGE

Prove your understanding

From the supplied target sheet, identify three useful security observations without collecting unrelated personal information.
