🎉Completed the TryHackMe Passive Reconnaissance Walkthrough!🕵🏻♀️ Cybersecurity is all about strategy, and passive reconnaissance is one of the stealthiest ways to gather crucial information about a target without leaving a trace. Today, I took a deep dive into tools that every security professional should have in their arsenal: Whois, Nslookup, and Dig. What I Learned: Whois: Uncovered domain ownership and registration details to better understand targets. Nslookup: Queried DNS records to resolve domain names to IP addresses and discover mail servers. Dig: Conducted advanced DNS lookups, including reverse DNS, for detailed domain insights. Why It Matters: These tools are foundational for building a strong target profile, identifying potential vulnerabilities, and planning further testing or defenses all while staying undetected. Takeaway: Passive reconnaissance isn’t just a skill; it’s a mindset. It's about leveraging publicly available information to gain insights while maintaining stealth. Excited to continue my cybersecurity journey, applying these tools in real-world scenarios! #CyberSecurity #EthicalHacking #TryHackMe #OSINT #DNS #LearningJourney
