enum4linux: Try to enumerate using all methods.

enum4linux

$ enum4linux -a ${remote_host}

try on your machine

The command "enum4linux -a ${remote_host}" is used for enumerating information from a Windows or Samba server remotely. Let's break it down:

"enum4linux" is the name of the tool or command being used. It is specifically designed for enumerating data from Windows and Samba servers.
"-a" is an option or flag passed to the enum4linux command. In this case, it stands for "all," indicating that the command should retrieve as much information as possible from the server.
"${remote_host}" is a placeholder for the target remote server's hostname or IP address. It should be replaced with the actual remote host information. This argument specifies the server that should be enumerated.

By running this command, enum4linux will connect to the specified remote host and attempt to retrieve as much information as possible about the server. This could include user and group names, shares, policies, secrets, etc. It helps in performing reconnaissance and discovering potential vulnerabilities on the target server.
