Types of Stealth Scans Explained by Karthik Minnikanti is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Scanning involves gathering intelligence about systems and networks through techniques like port scanning, vulnerability scanning, and network mapping. Port scanning works to identify open ports by sending packets with different TCP flags like SYN, ACK, FIN to check for open vs closed responses. Other stealth scans like XMAS, NULL, and FIN send unexpected packets to identify open ports without completing connections, making them harder to detect but still illegal. UDP scanning also identifies open UDP ports
