Discover comprehensive steps in our article on 'Methodology To Attack a Windows Machine'. Uncover potential vulnerabilities, learn about defensive strategies, and improve system security.

Ok after scanning the network we detect some Windows machines and now?

Step 2: Enumerate Windows Machines

After scanning the network and detecting Windows machines, proceed with the following steps to assess your targets:

Identify Live Hosts

Use tools like nmap or Advanced IP Scanner to identify live hosts and their open ports. Example command:

nmap -sT -p- 192.168.1.0/24

Gather System Information

Utilize tools such as WinRM or SMB to gather system details like OS version, patches, and services. Example command with smbclient:

smbclient -L \\\\TARGET_IP_ADDRESS

Check for Vulnerabilities

Run vulnerability scans using software like Nessus or OpenVAS to detect potential security risks on the Windows machines.

Document Findings

Create a table to document your findings:

IP Address	OS Version	Open Ports	Vulnerabilities

Proceed with caution and ensure you have authorization before engaging in any potentially intrusive activities.
