Enumeration is a part of the first phase of ethical hacking which is information gathering.

It is a process where the attacker establishes an active connection with the target and tries to find as many factors possible, which could be used to carry out the attack.

This technique can be used to gain information on −

  • Network shares

  • SNMP data, if they are not secured properly

  • IP tables

  • Usernames of different systems

  • Passwords policies lists

It depend on the services that the systems offer that could include the following −

  • DNS enumeration

  • NTP enumeration

  • SNMP enumeration

  • Linux/Windows enumeration

  • SMB enumeration

Hope this helps!
