A Research Work on Information Gathering Tools

Abstract

As we have done a detailed review/seminar on the
base topic Dmitry is a KALI LINUX tool. The aim of these
tools is to assist attackers in identifying information about a
target and finding possible attack vectors that could be used
against the device. This knowledge can be extremely useful in
social engineering attacks because it provides the attacker with
possible contact information. It can also make the perpetrator
appear more trustworthy if they can include details about the
owner's web page or domain. On the basis of preliminary
research, we will compare Dmitry to other information
gathering tools in Kali Linux, such as the Nmap tool, ZenMap,
whois lookup, and SPARTA. Comparisons may be made based
on the tools' different capabilities.Each tool has its own set of
benefits. For example, Nmap is primarily used to discover
hosts, ports, and services, as well as their versions, over a
network, while whois lookup is primarily used to verify the
availability of domain names and track down the registrants of
fraud domains.
