Line 1:
'''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]] run on them.
Network Enumeration is the discovery of [[Host (computing)|host]]s/devices on a [[Computer network|network]], they tend to use overt discovery protocols such as [[Internet Control Message Protocol|ICMP]] and [[SNMP]] to gather information, they 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 [[fingerprint]] the [[Operating System]] of the remote host.
