Module 06

Module 6

In this module, we review the enumeration techniques and tools. The enumeration is the process of gathering the user and system information such as username, passwords, OS versions. The gathered information is used to find the vulnerabilities and weak points of the system. For example, Some outdated systems like Microsoft Server 2000 - 2003 allow the password hash extraction which then can be cracked, this can be a golden-mine for hackers or pen testers. With tools like Nessus, you can easily find default or weak passwords. A lot of administrators forget about built-in default accounts and passwords and if they are not disabled or changed this can be an easy gate to get in.
