enum4linux is a Perl-based enumeration tool that retrieves Windows and Samba host information via SMB/NetBIOS protocols, functioning similarly to the legacy enum.exe. It wraps Samba utilities to collect user, group, share, policy, and domain data from remote systems.

Features

  • Enumerates domain info, users, groups, password policies, and SMB shares
  • Uses Samba utilities like smbclient, rpcclient, net, and nmblookup under the hood
  • Supports RID cycling and SID-to-user mapping for further enumeration
  • Simple, scriptable CLI interface for reconnaissance and auditing
  • GPLv2-licensed and widely used in security scanning toolkits (like Kali)
  • Bypasses directory listing restrictions while gathering host data
