Information Gathering is usually the first done when Penetration testing.
It is indeed a very important part in Penetration testing, and no Penetration tester or Internet security enthusiast can be left with out the knowledge of not knowing how to successfully gather information on a target.
This white paper goes through the steps and tools you can use in order to successfully gather information on a target web server.

For some reason I cannot post the source code to my dns_brute.exe

Won't GSO allow posts over a certain length?

Any other comments or just a thank you post?

Well i just think it is a nice tutorial, allthough it is all basic information, it is pretty well written.

Some other thing I like to do when i gather information is to map the site (if it's a site). So you can see all the directories and stuff

And maybe portscanning would be a nice subject to cover?

Yes I know, but that is sort of past information gathering sort of thing. Well it's not so passive anyway.

since there are online tools mentioned,probably you can add an online portscanner url. i think there was a php source code on that one here, pretty much basic. or even online nmap?

anyways i like it, pretty much straight forward no nonsense. basically, people can now gather info using browsers only given the right online tools provided in this tutorial (the more the better)..and i belive there are more online tools out their.
