Network Scanning

Network scanning is one of the first and most important steps in protecting a computer network from cyber threats. It’s the process of examining a network to discover all connected devices, open ports, and running services—essentially creating a map of everything that’s online. For IT administrators, this is a vital tool that helps them understand what’s on their network, how it’s configured, and where vulnerabilities might exist. Hacking for Good uses network scans to identify outdated software, misconfigured systems, or unauthorized devices that could be exploited by hackers. In short, network scanning gives IT admins the visibility and control they need to keep their systems secure, efficient, and resilient against evolving cyber threats. Not familiar? No problem! Hacking for Good provides a custom appliance to conduct the scans- simply plug it in to your network, power it on, and walk away!
