T0846.001 Port Scan

sub-techniqueICS

Adversaries may perform a port scan on a system, device, or network to identify live hosts, enumerate open ports and running services, identify operating systems, and map out the network. The results of a port scan may inform adversary Discovery, Lateral Movement, and vulnerability exploitation decisions (Exploitation for Evasion, Exploitation for Privilege Escalation, Exploitation of Remote Services). Some common tools for executing a port scan include `nmap`, `netcat`, and the Advanced Port Scanner.
