OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) refers to the collection and analysis of information gathered from public, freely available sources to be used in an intelligence context. In the context of hacking methodologies, OSINT can be used to identify applications and vendors employed by a target organization by analyzing publicly available data such as websites, code repositories, social media, and other internet-facing resources.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe OSINT was the answer there as well. It makes sense for identifying vendors too.

Scanning seems like it could be relevant too, but I feel like it’s more about identifying open ports rather than specific applications.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about enumeration being used to gather details about services and applications.

I think OSINT might be the right choice since it involves gathering publicly available information about applications and vendors.
