CEH Exam Objectives:

Reconnaissance

 Reconnaissance is the process of gathering informative data about a particular target of a malicious hack by exploring the targeted system. Basically two types of Reconnaissance exist i.e. Active and Passive. Active reconnaissance typically related to port scanning and observing the vulnerabilities about the targeted system (i.e., which ports are left vulnerable and/or if there are ways around the firewall and routers). Passive reconnaissance typically you will not be directly connected to a computer system. This process is used to gather essential information without ever interacting with the target systems.

Competitive intelligence means information gathering about competitors' products, marketing, and technologies. Most competitive intelligence is non intrusive to the company being investigated and is benign in nature.
