Information gathering is the very basic skill of penetration testing which really helps a pen-tester to understand how weak the security of a system can be. Backtrack now known as Kali OS has really great tools that are very useful to conduct pentesting or even basic forensics tools are available. NMAP, Metasploit, Xplicio, etc are various useful tools that are used.

This was a really eye opening video. It was nice to be able to see the theory of have be played from reconnaissance to eventual execution. But, it's crazy to think a lot of the attack is actually built on that intial phase of the simple task of research. These are simple methods to gather information on and take advantage of a person based on what they know. Social engineering is very deceptive but also difficult to detect 100% of the time, placing more pressure on the end users judgement-whether that be good or bad.

The video shows us great information about information gathering phase of penetration testing process. Other than tools described in the video. BackTrack 5 information gathering tools of interest are CMS identification and IDS-IPS identification for web application analysis. CMS identification gives information about the underlying CMS, which can be used to do a vulnerability research on the CMS and gather all the available exploits to test the target system.
