7. Network footprinting

Network footprinting is carried out to gather the network-related information of a target organization such as network range, traceroute, TTL values, etc

1. Locate Network Range

visit the website

2. Perform Network Tracerouting in Windows and Linux Machines

The route is the path that the network packet traverses between the source and destination. Network tracerouting is a process of identifying the path and hosts lying between the source and destination. Network tracerouting provides critical information such as the IP address of the hosts lying between the source and destination, which enables you to map the network topology of the organization.
