#4- Dancing with SMB — Enumeration, Access & Beyond

Join the Hack The Box Zimbabwe community for an interactive, beginner-friendly walkthrough of Dancing, a Very Easy Windows machine from Hack The Box.
In this session, we'll explore the fundamentals of Server Message Block (SMB) enumeration and discover how misconfigured network shares can lead to unauthorized access. Participants will learn practical reconnaissance techniques, enumeration methodology, and the importance of identifying low-hanging vulnerabilities during penetration testing engagements.
Whether you're new to cybersecurity or looking to strengthen your Windows enumeration skills, this meetup will provide a structured, hands-on learning experience focused on real-world offensive security techniques.

What You'll Learn

• Understanding the SMB protocol
• SMB enumeration techniques and tools
• Identifying anonymous access and misconfigurations
• Practical exploitation of exposed SMB shares
• Developing a repeatable hacker methodology
• Capturing key flags while documenting findings
