Subject: Vulnerability assessment for small business
When doing a vuln assessment for a small business (25 PC's, no server)
which is using a peer-to-peer windows network, how do you approach this?
Say the customer has a firewall...but they don't host any services. All
of the PC's have local usernames and passwords that vary from machine to
machine. There is no one single administrator account across the board,
and you have little time. So you cant run many automated tools to check
patch levels and what not because you cant get remote access to the
registry. There are no services to be tested from the outside. Do you
manually go to each machine and test them individually? Of course you
can run null scans on the LAN, but that is not going to provide the
depth you need. Any ideas and pointers would be great.
