Technical Interview Scenarios
"You discover TCP/445 open on a Windows host. Walk me through how you'd approach it."
"I'd enumerate SMB with nmap scripts — smb-os-discovery, smb-enum-shares — then check for null sessions with smbclient. If credentials surface, I'd try pass-the-hash or relay. I'd also check for EternalBlue with smb-vuln scripts."
Strong SMB enumeration knowledge. Methodology needs structure — walk the interviewer through each step: enumerate → assess exposure → exploit → escalate. Mention SMB signing and relay potential to show full-chain reasoning.
