Network mapping provides a security testing team with a blueprint of the organization. Which of the following steps is NOT a part of manual network mapping?

Gathering private and public IP addresses is a standard manual network mapping step performed through WHOIS lookups, ARIN queries, and DNS enumeration.

Collecting employee information is a valid manual mapping activity using OSINT sources such as LinkedIn, corporate websites, and job postings to build an organizational profile.

Banner grabbing is a manual technique where a tester connects to open ports and reads service banners to identify software versions and operating systems running on target hosts.

Neotracerouting refers to using NeoTrace, a graphical automated traceroute tool, which is an active automated scanning operation rather than a manual mapping step. Manual network mapping focuses on gathering data through human-driven processes such as querying WHOIS, collecting IP ranges, banner grabbing, and OSINT on employees, not running automated route-tracing utilities.
