Scanning networks with nmap and masscan
The "Hacking I: Scanning Networks" chapter of binsec.wiki's Pentest Training covers the critical first step in penetration testing: network reconnaissance. This phase involves mapping the attack surface by identifying active hosts, open ports, and the services running on those ports within a target network. The chapter introduces key tools used in this process, starting with Nmap, a powerful and flexible network scanner. It walks users through various scanning techniques for host discovery, port scanning, and service detection. Additionally, the guide explains the use of Masscan, an ultra-fast port scanner designed to handle large network ranges efficiently. Masscan is especially valuable for quickly identifying open ports across expansive IP spaces, making it ideal for large-scale assessments.

Penetration Testing
Since 2013 we conduct professional penetration test, based on international industry standards and years of experience in penetration testing, red teaming and hacking.
As a company for professional penetration testing, we do some things differently than other pentest provider: As a penetration test firm, we do not sell vulnerability scans as pentest. We do also focus on business security risks. You are looking for a professionally conducted penetration tests? Get the binsec team for your Pentest. Read more about our pentest service.
