This document discusses footprinting, which is the first step in hacking where a hacker gathers information about a target system. It describes footprinting as both active (direct interaction with the target) and passive (collecting publicly available information). Some methods covered include using the Wayback Machine to view past versions of websites, performing WhoIs lookups to find domain ownership data, using Nmap to discover active machines and open ports, and using social engineering to trick people into revealing confidential information. The goal of footprinting is to learn as much as possible about a target to determine suitable attacks.

By Chetan Thakre Introduction to foot-printing
Something about me :- A cybersec enthusiast. A budding programmer. A dancer. And the founder of Neo’s foundation.
Overview :- What is Foot Printing ? Objectives of Foot Printing Different steps of Foot Printing Foot Printing Methodologies
What is Foot Printing ? Foot Printing is basically the first step where hacker gathers as much information as possible to find ways to intrude into a target system or at least decide what type of attacks will be more suitable for the target. Active Foot Printing Passive Foot Printing
Objectives of Foot Printing :-
Different Steps of Foot Printing :- EC–Council has divided Foot Printing into seven steps :- Information Gathering Determining the Network range. Identifying active machines.  Finding open ports and access points. OS fingerprinting Fingerprinting services Mapping the network
Foot Printing Methodologies :- Extract website information from WaybackMachine. WhoIs Lookup. Nmap . Collecting information From Email Header. Traceroute. Foot Printing Through Social Engineering.
Way Back Machine :- It is very easy to get a complete history of any website using  www.archive.org
Who Is Lookup :- Who is database gives a detailed information about a domain name information including its owner, its registrar, date of registration, expiry, name server, owner's contact information, etc.
Nmap :- Nmap (Network Mapper) is a security scanner, originally written by Gordon Lyon, used to discover hosts and services on a computer network, thus building a "map" of the network.
Foot Printing through Social Engineering :- Social engineering is an art of exploiting human behavior to extract confidential information. Social engineers depend on the fact that people are unaware of the valuable information and are careless about protecting it.
Social Engineering Techniques :- Eavesdropping Shoulder Surfing Dumpster Diving Impersonation on social networking sites
