Day 12

What’s the name of the process that check every firewall port in order to find an open port and enter to internal network?

  • Portwalking
  • Port checking
  • Port scanning
  • Firescanning
  • Firewalking

Best answer by marcofabbri

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."

Port scanning. NMAP is a good option.
