Exercise 1 – Scanning network-connected devices

In this first exercise, we are going to look at some network scanning techniques aimed at finding live systems on our network. We will utilize this to figure out what is running on these live systems. Additionally, we will look at some methods we can use to unearth if there are any vulnerabilities present on the live systems.
