A security analyst wants to uncover exposed disk shares on a host and retrieve the share path and privileges using automated features in the scanning tool. Which approach is best for achieving these goals?
Run a standard port detection pass to see active endpoints
Search through older log data for available file share hints
Attempt multiple login combinations to collect share information
Use a focused script to list disk shares and related attributes
A specialized script that enumerates disk resources and reveals attributes targets the shares directly. The other options do not leverage the scanning tool’s functionality to list share entries or rely on flawed brute forcing and log inspection. General port analysis reveals open ports but does not identify share-level details.
