Port scanning


Port scannin could be a valid option, but in cybersecurity, when we're talking about scanning a "firewall device" the term used is Firewalking.

Definition is: "Firewalking is the method of determining the movement of a data packet from an untrusted external host to an internal network through a firewall. The idea behind firewalking is to determine which ports are open to pass through a packet filtering device."
