We will learn how to exclude hosts from a subnet scan or a File input scan if they are blacklisted or whitelisted into a network.

We will also cover How can we Bypass Windows Firewall Rule with No Host Discovery and successfully identify the information about the target.

5. In Nmap Port Scan and Techniques, We will cover How can we perform a Port Scan using Names and numbers with Nmap. We will also see How to identify only open ports perform a Fast Port Scan.
