Cybercriminals implement scanning into their attacks to find network machines with open ports that they can utilize to bypass security and harm businesses and employees. Before launching an attack, threat actors run cloud security scanners like Linux Nmap that can sweep servers and find cybersecurity vulnerabilities to exploit. Once they identify a target, an intruder can use TCP stack fingerprinting to determine the type of machine they are breaching.
