Question

Enumeration is defined as the process of extracting user names, machine names, network resources, shares, and services from a system.

Which of the following enumeration an attacker uses to obtain list of computers that belongs to a domain?
a. Netbios enumeration
b. SNMP enumeration
c. NTP enumeration
d. SMTP enumeration

Answer 1

NetBIOS enumeration is employed by attackers to gather information about network resources including computers in a domain, by exploiting the NetBIOS protocol.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question of which enumeration an attacker uses to obtain a list of computers that belong to a domain is a. Netbios enumeration. NetBIOS enumeration is a technique used to gather information about a network when the NetBIOS protocol is used over TCP/IP, which is typical in Windows networking environments. An attacker can use tools designed for NetBIOS enumeration to identify network resources such as workstations, shares, and domain information. Techniques like this are critical for attackers in the reconnaissance phase of their attacks, where they attempt to construct a map of the organization's network infrastructure.

Answer 2

Answer: a) Netbios enumeration

Explanation: Netbios enumeration(Network Basic Input Output System) is accessed by the hacker/ attackers for gaining the information about the network domain,computer device and other data.It can maintain the network over a local area network (LAN) for the sharing of the files , data and other resources. It can work for the identification of the computer network on the Windows.

Therefore, the correct option is option(a).
