VerifiedOpen-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Methodology

ABC Bank, a UK-based bank, hired Anthony to perform a penetration test for the bank. Anthony started conducting lookups on the bank’s DNS servers, reading online news articles about the bank, gathering competitive intelligence, observing the times bank employees arrive and leave, and searching the bank’s job postings.

Which phase of penetration testing is Anthony currently performing?

Explanation

Reconnaissance and intelligence gathering are pre-attack activities. DNS enumeration, public-information research, competitive intelligence, physical observation, and job-posting review help identify potential targets and attack paths before any attempted compromise.
