Category:	Nmap NSE net
Title:	Nmap NSE net: smb-enum-processes
Summary:	Pulls a list of processes from the remote server over SMB. This will determine all running;processes, their process IDs, and their parent processes. It is done by querying the remote registry;service, which is disabled by default on Vista. On all other Windows versions, it requires;Administrator privileges.;;Since this requires administrator privileges, it isn't especially useful for a penetration tester,;since they can effectively do the same thing with metasploit or other tools. It does, however,;provide for a quick way to get process lists for a bunch of systems at the same time.;;WARNING: I have experienced crashes in 'regsvc.exe' while making registry calls against a;fully patched Windows 2000 system. I've fixed the issue that caused it, but there's no guarantee;that it (or a similar vulnerability in the same code) won't show up again. Since the process;automatically restarts, it doesn't negatively impact the system, besides showing a message box to;the user.;;SYNTAX:;;smbbasic: Forces the authentication to use basic security, as opposed to 'extended security'.;Against most modern systems, extended security should work, but there may be cases;where you want to force basic. There's a chance that you'll get better results for;enumerating users if you turn on basic authentication.;;smbport: Override the default port choice. If 'smbport' is open, it's used. It's assumed;to be the same protocol as port 445, not port 139. Since it probably isn't possible to change;Windows' ports normally, this is mostly useful if you're bouncing through a relay or something.;;smbsign: Controls whether or not server signatures are checked in SMB packets. By default, on Windows,;server signatures aren't enabled or required. By default, this library will always sign;packets if it knows how, and will check signatures if the server says to. Possible values are:;; - 'force': Always check server signatures, even if server says it doesn't support them (will;probably fail, but is technically more secure).;; - 'negotiate': [default] Use signatures if server supports them.;; - 'ignore': Never check server signatures. Not recommended.;; - 'disable': Don't send signatures, at all, and don't check the server's. not recommended.;More information on signatures can be found in 'smbauth.lua'.;;randomseed: Set to a value to change the filenames/service names that are randomly generated.
