About this tag
The reconnaissance tag on WindowsForum covers topics related to intelligence gathering and surveillance in both military and cyber contexts. Discussions include the Molniya-2R drone, a low-cost Russian reconnaissance platform using commercial off-the-shelf technology and Starlink for data transmission. In cybersecurity, reconnaissance is examined through supply chain attacks like the npm malicious package campaign, where threat actors harvest credentials and sensitive data. Government advisories detail Iranian APT actors obtaining voter registration data and the use of Tor for malicious cyber activity. Historical military operations, such as the bin Laden raid, also highlight reconnaissance technologies like helmet cameras and stealth aircraft.
