Python for Network Forensics 5.1: Enumeration

The video tutorial covers the final section of a digital forensics course, focusing on threat emulation and attack strategies. It introduces enumeration as a key process in understanding network components and potential threat vectors. The tutorial provides a detailed guide on building a Python-based network scanner, specifically a ping sweeper, using the subprocess module. It also demonstrates how to execute the scanner and interpret the results, emphasizing the importance of identifying live hosts on a network.
