It’s good you are wondering about that! The term Recon comes from the word reconnaissance. It is a process of gathering information about a target system or organization, focusing on identifying potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses. During this process, a variety of techniques and tools are used: like port scanning, vulnerability scanning, open-source intelligence (OSINT) gathering, and social engineering. These tools are used to collect information about your assets. The goal of a Recon is to identify potential attack vectors that could be exploited by attackers and to provide you with information about your security posture that can be used to improve your defenses.
