SMB enum services
Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Enumerates the list of remote services

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

It is possible to enumerate remote services.

Description :

This test implements the SvcOpenSCManager() and SvcEnumServices()
calls to obtain, using the SMB protocol, the list of active services
of the remote host.

A possible hacker may use this feature to gain better knowledge of the remote
host.

Solution :

To prevent the listing of the services for being obtained, you should
either have tight login restrictions, so that only trusted users can
access your host, and/or you should filter incoming traffic to this port.
