Hmmm, is RDP open on this firewall? OK, let me take a look. Versus someone scanning all the ports, which is indeed what anyone would do.
Yes, the first step is seeing what is open. That's the lowest hanging fruit, the easiest step. Once things respond you decide if you want to attack or not.

That's not rudimentary, that's lazy. That's literally like saying that you want to break into a house but look and don't see the front door so move on because you assume that there isn't one. Um..... no.
Sooooooooo in my car example, this would be the their being too lazy to even try the door?
RIght. It would be like painting the door handles the same colour as the rest of the car thinking that that would confuse someone into thinking that there was no way in.
