Hi Medium! Here we are again with a new article, I was asked by a friend in my last article about Enumeration to provide a breakout on the SMTP technique.
In this article, we will go through different tools and techniques that should be known to retrieve information about your target.
In this part I will provide some different techniques of SMTP Enumeration, first I want to give some details about the important commands that we will need to know.
SMTP provides 3 built-in-commands: — VRFY: means validates users. — EXPN: Tells the actual delivery addresses of aliases and mailing…

Hi Medium! This is the Enumeration part.
In this chapter we are going to discover the following topics:
The most important phase before attacking a target is “Reconnaissance”.The more effort the attacker put in during this phase the more likely he guarantee the attack success. Before the weaponization phase (gaining access) there are 4 phases in reconnaissance:
During the enumeration phase, the attacker creates an active connection with the target and tries to gain information about it, these pieces of information will help…
