Scanner
Terminology | Dictionary | Explanation
The scanner's job is to scan IP
ranges where fast internet connection are
known to lie (usually universities, company's, etc.) for vulnerable computers. We're
talking brute forcing passwords from programs, or scanning on ports for certain programs which contain a bug. The scanner will often use slow, previously hacked computers for his
scanning (known as scanstro's), using remote
scan programs. Once the scanner has gotten his results, he'll post them at the board.
This is where the hacker comes into play.
