Assessment - Network Enumeration and Port Scanning Report
Assessment Task
Prepare an individual 1,500-word Network Enumeration and Port Scanning Report based on one approved TryHackMe room selected and completed in full.
Identify the authorised target IP address and confirm that the target host is accessible.
Perform host discovery and an initial port scan.
Perform appropriate TCP port scanning and selected UDP scanning where relevant.
Identify relevant open, closed and filtered ports.
Identify active services and service versions associated with discovered ports.
Collect available banners, hostnames, operating-system information and other relevant host or service information where possible.
Perform targeted enumeration of relevant discovered services using appropriate tools or Nmap NSE scripts.
Identify relevant IP configuration, firewall/IP tables information or other system settings where these are available in the authorised environment.
Record the important commands, options, scan outputs and screenshots used as evidence.
Interpret significant findings and identify exposed services, weak configurations or potential security risks supported by the evidence.
Recommend appropriate countermeasures linked to the findings.
