Scanning involves actively probing a target's network to identify live hosts, open ports, and services.

Footprinting, also known as reconnaissance, is the initial phase of ethical hacking or penetration testing where an attacker (or security professional) gathers information about a target organization from publicly available sources on the internet, such as websites, social media, DNS records, and search engines, without actively interacting with the target's systems. This passive information gathering helps to build a profile of the target.

Enumeration is a more active process of extracting specific user accounts, network shares, and other details from target systems.
