While scanning a subnet you find a Linux host with both TCP and UDP ports 111 and 2049 open. Nmap identifies them as rpcbind and NFS respectively. To enumerate the list of file systems that the server is exporting over NFS-without attempting to mount anything first-which Nmap NSE script would you run next?
The nfs-showmount script emulates the traditional showmount -e command by querying the mountd RPC program and returning all NFS exports configured on the target host. It is specifically designed for export enumeration and does not require a client-side mount operation. nfs-ls and nfs-statfs interact with an already exported path to list files or statistics, while smb-enum-shares targets SMB, not NFS.
