Reconnaissance is an important step in the pen$-$testing process, as it enables you to collect crucial information about the target organization and environment.

In this activity, you will practice the preliminary stages of reconnaissance by exploring publicly available information about one organization or entity of your choice.

Gather information from publicly accessible sources, such as official websites, public records, and news articles, without attempting any intrusive actions or accessing private data.

Collect the following general information:

General description of the organization or entity

The industry or sector it operates in $($e$.$g$.,$ healthcare, technology, finance, entertainment, etc.$)$

Structure your response based on the following questions:

Which organization did you choose to research? Why did you choose it$?$

In which sector does this organization operate?

What did you find out about the target organization, its environment, or its infrastructure?

Which resources did you find to be the most useful?
