CEH Practical: Gathering Target Information: Reconnaissance And Competitive Intelligence

CEH Exam Objectives:

Describe Reconnaissance. 

Describe aggressive/competitive intelligence.


Reconnaissance

 Reconnaissance is the process of gathering informative data about a particular target of a malicious hack by exploring the targeted system. Basically two types of Reconnaissance exist i.e. Active and Passive. Active reconnaissance typically related to port scanning and observing the vulnerabilities about the targeted system (i.e., which ports are left vulnerable and/or if there are ways around the firewall and routers). Passive reconnaissance typically you will not be directly connected to a computer system. This process is used to gather essential information without ever interacting with the target systems.

Competitive intelligence means information gathering about competitors' products, marketing, and technologies. Most competitive intelligence is non intrusive to the company being investigated and is benign in nature. It's used for product comparison or as a sales and marketing tactic to better understand how competitors are positioning their products or services.

Plus, a portion of the proceeds from their Everlasting Joy Bars goes towards feeding the homeless. It appears that evidently by regulation substances have to be listed so as of weight, and brown rice syrup could be very dense. And GoMacro selects one taste every quarter to highlight as their "Give Back Bar." They donate 10% of the gross sales of that bar to a non-revenue group.
