Re: Exploiting IPC$

The $ shares are virtual shares used to facilitate communication between
processes and computers over SMB, often to exchange data between computers
that have been authenticated.. Them being there does not mean the machine
is vulnerable or not. Back in the day when many cable and other high speed
companies did not block netbios hackers would use the net use commands and
default admin accounts left on the machine to copy their tools to these
machines then execute the tools.

I would scan the share with something like xscan to see if you can find a
default local admin or user account and see where you can go from there. I
would also see if the C$ is available. If you can get an account and that
is available you could map that share and copy a kit there.




Hello,

Can somebody share how to exploit port 445. I am doing a VA and found
port 445 open.

When I try to connect IPC$, it says access denied.

Thanks

Cheers-
Himanshu

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can
actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT and CEPT certs require a
