Host and domain reconnaissance battery

host_recon_commands

Runs the read-only enumeration commands that normally follow a successful intrusion (user, group, domain, share, process, network and shadow-copy listings). Nothing is modified.

Severity low how bad it would be if it were real
Expected outcome Something should notice
Platforms 3 macOS, Linux, Windows
Isolation subprocess runs in its own process, so a kill is a measurement

What it needs before it will run

  • runs in --safe

    Observation only. It runs even in the inert mode, because it changes nothing and sends nothing.

Gates are cumulative and none of them is implied by another: see the three gates for why they are separate decisions.

ATT&CK techniques it exercises

How often anything notices

Not enough data: fewer than 3 public reports have run this test, so no rate is published for it. Groups below that threshold are withheld everywhere on the site — with one or two contributors an average is one organisation's result with a percent sign after it.
