Explanation

Scanning networks allows attackers to draw a map or outline the target organization's network infrastructure to know about the actual environment that they are going to hack. Scanning can help the attacker identify the IP addresses, operating systems, open ports, and running services of the systems connected to the target network. This information can then be used to identify vulnerabilities and plan further attacks.
