Port Scanning is one of the most popular techniques used by hackers to discover services that can be compromised.

• A potential target computer runs many ‘services’ that listen at ‘well-known’ ‘ports’.
• By scanning which ports are available on the victim, the hacker finds potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
