I'm just picturing the auditor rummaging through the trash and finding a juicy client list. Someone's getting fired!

Haha, a ping sweep? Really? That's like the most basic and noisy way to do reconnaissance. Definitely not the right choice here.

Nmap seems like the obvious choice. It's a powerful tool for network scanning and can give you a lot of valuable information about the target.

I think Netcraft is the way to go here. It's a passive tool that can gather a ton of information about the target website without being intrusive.
