This week I learned about enumeration. Enumeration is the process of extracting user names, machine names, network resources, shares and services from a system. The gathered information is used to identify the vulnerabilities or weak points in system security and tries to exploit in the System gaining phase.

Some tools for enumerating such as DumpSec, Hyena, NessusWX, which have GUI and wpscan, TheHarvester, Nmap and nbtScan. But not all of them is available in Kali, so some we must install it ourselves. We are also taught how to install a tool in kali linux step by step, so in the class we installed nbtScan together. NbtScan itself is a tool which can be use to scan a range of ip addresses for enumeration.
