$ enum4linux -S ${remote_host}
try on your machine
The command enum4linux -S ${remote_host}
is used for enumerating and gathering information from a Windows/Samba system remotely.
Here's what each part of the command means:
enum4linux
is the name of the tool/command being executed.-S
is an option/flag in enum4linux that specifies to perform an enumeration scan against the specified target SMB/Windows server.${remote_host}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual IP address or hostname of the remote host you want to scan.
When you run this command with the correct IP address or hostname, enum4linux will connect to the target system over the network using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol and perform various enumeration techniques to gather information about shares, users, groups, policies, etc. This can help in understanding the target system's configuration, identifying vulnerabilities, and performing further analysis.
