Enum4linux is a tool for enumerating information from Windows and Samba systems.
It is written in Perl and is basically a wrapper around the Samba tools smbclient, rpclient, net and nmblookup.
Key features
- RID cycling (When RestrictAnonymous is set to 1 on Windows 2000)
- User listing (When RestrictAnonymous is set to 0 on Windows 2000)
- Listing of group membership information
- Share enumeration
- Detecting if host is in a workgroup or a domain
- Identifying the remote operating system
- Password policy retrieval (using polenum)
Overview
Enum4linux is a tool for enumerating information from Windows and Samba systems. It attempts to offer similar functionality to enum.exe formerly available from www.bindview.com.
It is written in Perl and is basically a wrapper around the Samba tools smbclient, rpclient, net and nmblookup.
The tool usage can be found below followed by examples, previous versions of the tool can be found at the bottom of the page.
Dependencies
You will need to have the Samba package installed as this script is basically just a wrapper around rpcclient, net, nmblookup and smbclient.
Usage
$ enum4linux.pl -h
enum4linux v0.8.2 (https://labs.portcullis.co.uk/application/enum4linux/)
Copyright (C) 2006 Mark Lowe (mrl@portcullis-security.com)
Simple wrapper around the tools in the samba package to provide similar functionality
to enum (http://www.bindview.com/Services/RAZOR/Utilities/Windows/enum_readme.cfm).
Some additional features such as RID cycling have also been added for convenience.
This is an ALPHA release only. Some of the options supported by the original "enum"
aren't implemented in this release.
Usage: /usr/local/bin/enum4linux.pl [options] ip
Options are (like "enum"):
-U get userlist
-M get machine list*
-N get namelist dump (different from -U|-M)*
-S get sharelist
-P get password policy information*
-G get group and member list
-L get LSA policy information*
-D dictionary crack, needs -u and -f*
-d be detailed, applies to -U and -S
-u username specify username to use (default "")
-p password specify password to use (default "")
-f filename specify dictfile to use (wants -D)*
* = Not implemented in this release.
Additional options:
-a Do all simple enumeration (-U -S -G -r -o -n)
-h Display this help message and exit
-r enumerate users via RID cycling
-R range RID ranges to enumerate (default: 500-550,1000-1050, implies -r)
-s filename brute force guessing for share names
-k username User(s) that exists on remote system (default: administrator,guest,krbtgt,domain admins,root,bin,none)
Used to get sid with "lookupsid known_username"
Use commas to try several users: "-k admin,user1,user2"
-o Get OS information
-i Get printer information
-w workgroup Specify workgroup manually (usually found automatically)
-n Do an nmblookup (similar to nbtstat)
-v Verbose. Shows full commands being run (net, rpcclient, etc.)
RID cycling should extract a list of users from Windows (or Samba) hosts which have
RestrictAnonymous set to 1 (Windows NT and 2000), or "Network access: Allow
anonymous SID/Name translation" enabled (XP, 2003).
If no usernames are known, good names to try against Windows systems are:
- administrator
- guest
- none
- helpassistant
- aspnet
The following might work against samba systems:
- root
- nobody
- sys
NB: Samba servers often seem to have RIDs in the range 3000-3050.
Examples
Below are examples which demonstrate most of the features of enum4linux. Output has been edited for brevity in most cases.
Verbose mode
Before we delve into the features of enum4linux, it’s worth pointing out that verbose mode shows you the underlying commands being run by enum4linux (rpcclient, smblient, etc.). This is useful if you want to use the underlying commands manually, but can’t figure out the syntax to use. Note the lines beginning with [V] in the output below:
$ enum4linux.pl -v 192.168.2.55
[V] Dependent program "nmblookup" found in /usr/bin/nmblookup
[V] Dependent program "net" found in /usr/bin/net
[V] Dependent program "rpcclient" found in /usr/bin/rpcclient
[V] Dependent program "smbclient" found in /usr/bin/smbclient

The “Do Everything” option
As you read through the following section you’ll probably think that there are a lot of options you need to remember. If you just want enum4linux to try to enumerate all the information it can from a remote host, just use the -a option:
$ enum4linux.pl -a 192.168.2.55
Obtain list of usernames (RestrictAnonymous = 0)
This feature is similar to enum.exe -U IP. It returns a complete list of usernames if the server allows it. On Windows 2000 the RestrictAnonymous registry setting must be set to 0 for this feature to work. The user list is show twice in two different formats because type different underlying commands are used to retrieve the data.

Obtaining a List of Usernames via RID Cycling (RestrictAnonymous = 1)

If you’ve very unlucky, this list won’t be good enough and you won’t be able to get the SID. In this case, use the -k option to specify a different known username:
$ enum4linux.pl -k anotheruser -R 500-520 192.168.2.55
$ enum4linux.pl -k user1,user2,user3 -R 500-520 192.168.2.55
Group membership
If the remote host allow it, you can get a list of groups and their members using the -G option (like in enum.exe):

Check if host is part of a domain or workgroup
Enum4linux uses rpcclient’s lsaquery command to ask for a host’s Domain SID. If we get a proper SID we can infer that it is part of a domain. If we get the answer S-0-0 we can infer the host is part of a workgroup. This is done by default, so no command line options are required:

Listing Windows shares
If the server allows it, you can obtain a complete list of shares with the -S option. This uses smbclient under the bonnet which also seems to grab the browse list.
Enum4linux will also attempt to connect to each share with the supplied credentials (null session usually, but you could use -u user -p pass to use something else). It will report whether it could connect to the share and whether it was possible to get a directory listing.
