'''Network enumeration''' is a computing activity in which [[username]]s and info on groups, shares, and services of [[computer network|networked computers]] are retrieved. It should not be confused with [[network mapping]], which only retrieves information about which [[server (computing)|servers]] are connected to a specific network and what [[operating system]] runs on them.
Network Enumeration is the discovery of [[Host (computing)|host]]s/devices on a [[Computer network|network]]. Network Enumeration tends to use overt discovery protocols such as [[Internet Control Message Protocol|ICMP]] and [[Simple Network Management Protocol|SNMP]] to gather information. It may also scan various ports on remote hosts for looking for well known services in an attempt to further identify the function of a remote host. The next stage of enumeration is to [[TCP/IP stack fingerprinting|fingerprint]] the [[Operating System]] of the remote host.
