3. Getting started Footprinting and reconnaissance A detailed footprint of an organisation’s Internet facing systems is a tactical resource that can be used by both red team (attackers) and the blue team (defenders).
4. Why r3con1z3r By developing an understanding of the attack surface, skilled security analysts are able to quickly identify weak areas in the attack surface.
5. 1. The Blue Team needs to understand the tactics that penetration testers and blackhat hackers are using to map the attack surface. These tactics will often be also employed by targeted attackers. By quickly identifying weak areas in your attack surface you will enable prioritisation of mitigation to defend those systems and applications.
6. 2. Penetration Testers need to quickly identify the weak spots so that they can gain access and ensure that the engagement is successful. The nature of a penetration test is time constrained so the faster areas to attack are identified the more likely the test will be a success.
