Episode 25 — Host Discovery Logic
This episode teaches you how host discovery establishes what systems are reachable and worth further attention before deeper enumeration begins. You’ll learn how discovery inputs such as target ranges, domains, and known assets shape your approach, and how different response states imply routing, filtering, or monitoring controls. We’ll cover how to prioritize hosts based on service exposure, data sensitivity, and management interfaces, and how to avoid common mistakes like trusting a single method or overloading networks. You’ll practice scenario reasoning where partial visibility forces you to adjust techniques, verify scope, or escalate unexpected systems appropriately. By the end, you’ll be able to explain discovery decisions clearly, select efficient next steps, and document reachability findings with appropriate confidence.
