Re: LAN pen test

Just because a machine is current on windows updates doesn't mean that it's not vulnerable.  Is it just a workstation 
or is it some type of server?  What other applications are installed on the machine, and are they vulnerable?  What 
about the other devices on the LAN (such as the router, is it patched)?  What is your method of reconnaissance and 
enumeration?  It also depends on what type of attack you’re attempting (application layer, network layer?).  You can’t 
rely on a security scanner to do all of your work.
