Chapter 9. Assessing Windows Networking Services

This chapter focuses squarely on Windows NetBIOS and CIFS services that are used in corporate networks to provide access to SMB for file sharing, printing, and other useful functions. If these services aren't configured or protected correctly by network filtering devices, they can be used to great effect to enumerate system details and cause a complete network compromise.
