Episode 66: Network Scanning and Mapping Tools

Understanding your network begins with visibility—and that visibility is powered by scanning and mapping tools. In this episode, we introduce key network discovery tools such as Angry IP Scanner and Maltego. You’ll learn how these tools help identify live hosts, open ports, DNS records, and relationships between systems, giving analysts a clear picture of what’s exposed and where risks may reside.

We also discuss how these tools are used in reconnaissance phases by attackers, and why defenders use them to preemptively detect gaps in visibility. Whether you’re scanning internal environments or simulating external threat views, this episode gives you a working understanding of the tools that help map the terrain before any assessment or mitigation begins.
