Ever tried to do penetration testing on a website ?
The information Gathering(Reconnaissance) is the most important part of Pentesting. Know your host before you plan a attack that's what information gathering is all about.
Extracting relevant information can play a game changing role in many situations. Extracting this information is pretty simple and somewhat easy. Sometimes recon can go beyond collecting basic information to understand the system and can also identify information which might straight away lead to exploitation, sometimes without actually touching the entity being tested.
Even after having such significance this phase is not given enough importance and most of the tests focus straight away on exploitation. The key point here is that exploitation is certainly important but performing a thorough recon could prove very helpful in it and also make it easier, faster and stealthier.
