Network Information Gathering

The Network Information Gathering step provides you with information about a target network or individual machine. This step is typically accomplished by executing modules from the Information Gathering sub-category such as Network Discovery, Port Scanning, OS Identification, and Service Identification.

If you used a network mapping tool (such as Nmap) or a vulnerability scanner (such as Nessus) you can use the RPT to import your scanner data file and the Information Gathering will run on the host data within that file.
