Since you did such a superb job deciphering the mysterious communiqué, the joint task force has asked for your assistance again with a new case. They have asked you to plan and conduct the preliminary passive scan. Using what you learned in class, conduct data gathering and footprinting on a website of your choice and prepare to provide your findings to the task force.

1. Describe all preplanning activities prior to conducting the passive scan on the target site.
2. Explain what tools are required to conduct a passive scan on a website or company.
3. Outline the procedures and results of the data gathering, noting any flaws or weaknesses.
