Exam 312-50v12 topic 1 question 146 discussion

NetBIOS is not compatible with IPv6, as NetBIOS is an older protocol that was designed specifically for use in IPv4 networks. So you can't really enumerate the NetBIOS names. Therefore B,C and D are not correct. Note that the question starts with saying that your task is to enumerate the company's network, not NetBIOS per se.

o'reilly: Microsoft Windows uses an interface called Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS), which relates names with workstations and is an upper-layer interface that requires a transport protocol—usually, TCP/IP. But IPv6 can be used as well. Deploying the nbtstat utility will achieve these three important things:

Utilize Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for NetBIOS enumeration, nbtstat is not avaiable for IPv6

Guys...nbstat is compatible with IPv6...so B? D could be but then you could run n some issues with NSE....this is a badluck question honestly

D. Utilize Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for NetBIOS enumeration

D. Utilize Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for NetBIOS enumeration Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) is used by attackers to discover NetBIOS shares on a network. Attackers can retrieve the target's NetBIOS names and MAC addresses using the NSE nbtstat script. By default, the script displays the computer's name and the currently logged-in user. nmap -sV -v --script nbstat.nse <target IP address> Reference: https://github.com/mosse-security/mcsi-library/blob/main/docs/articles/2022/06/netbios-enumeration/netbios-enumeration.md

I couldn't find any IPV6 NetBIOS enumeration script for NSE I'm going to choose A A. Switch to an enumeration tool that supports IPv6

D. Utilize Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for NetBIOS enumeration

B. Use nbtstat -a followed by the IPv6 address of the target machine This command queries the specified IPv6 address for NetBIOS name information. Option A is not necessary as nbtstat can still be used for NetBIOS enumeration even if IPv6 is in use. Option C provides the contents of the NetBIOS name cache but does not directly enumerate NetBIOS names on a specific machine. Option D suggests using Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for NetBIOS enumeration, which is an alternative but not necessary when nbtstat is available and suitable for the task.

I think that is the B B. Use nbtstat -a followed by the IPv6 address of the target machine Explanation: Since the company uses IPv6 for its network and you want to enumerate NetBIOS names, you can use the following nbtstat command: bash Copy code nbtstat -a [IPv6_address] This command will attempt to query the NetBIOS names associated with the specified IPv6 address.

Hey friends can we make sure this is correct

D. Attackers use the Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for discovering NetBIOS shares on a network. The NSE nbstat script allows attackers to retrieve the target’s NetBIOS names and MAC addresses. By default, the script displays the name of the computer and the logged-in user. However, if the verbosity is turned up, it displays all names related to that system. An attacker uses the following Nmap command to perform NetBIOS enumeration on a target host: nmap -sV -v --script nbstat.nse <target IP address>
