Scanning NetBIOS services with Metasploit

Netbios services also provide vital information about the target and help us uncover the target architecture, operating system version, and many other things. To scan a network for NetBIOS services, we can use the nbname module from auxiliary/scanner/netbios, as shown in the following screenshot:

As we did previously, we set the RHOSTS to the entire network by providing the CIDR identifier. Let's run the module and analyze the results as follows:

We can see that we have almost every system running the NetBIOS service on the network listed in the preceding screenshot. This information provides us with useful evidence for the operating system type, name, domain, and related IP addresses of the systems.
