John works as a professional Ethical Hacker. He has been assigned a project to test the security local disk and obtains all the files on the Web site. Which of the following techniques is he using…

Web ripping, also called website mirroring or web copying, involves using tools to recursively download all accessible files, directories, and resources from a target website to local storage. Ethical hackers use this technique to analyze the full structure and content of a website during reconnaissance. Tools such as HTTrack are commonly used to accomplish this.

TCP FTP proxy scanning is a port scanning technique that uses FTP bounce to scan ports on a third-party host, unrelated to downloading website files.

Fingerprinting is the process of identifying the operating system, services, or software versions running on a target system, not copying website files.

Eavesdropping involves intercepting network traffic to capture data in transit, not systematically downloading files from a web server.
