Hands-On Projects Project 2-1 1.
Create a chart showing the hierarchical classification of each reconnaissance category and methods discussed in this chapter. The specific format of the chart is up to you. For example, you can use UML, or you can create a Venn diagram, organizational chart, or something similar.
Whatever format you choose, your chart should indicate whether a particular method is legal, illegal, or unethical. It should also indicate the level of personal interaction required by a particular method.
2. Break into three work groups, one for each reconnaissance category: social engineering, dumpster diving, and Internet footprinting. For your assigned category, come up with methods that were not discussed in this chapter. Also, indicate methods that may become less valuable over time and why. For example, DNS zone transfer has become less valuable as more DNS servers are patched to deny zone transfers from anonymous or uncertified hosts.
