In this phase the target system is scanned to look for open ports and vulnerabilities. One can find reach ability of devices using the ping command and then run port scans on the active IPs. This phase is still a part of the information gathering but is more interesting than the footprinting phase and this begins to give you the feel of hacking.
It is in this phase that we get to know:
Live systems on the network by pinging
Find out services that are run on target
Find the TCP and UDP ports and services
Find the Operating System running on the target
