I have just stepped into the field of Network Penetration Testing and was trying to play with the popular null sessions. I enabled the null sessions on a Win XP (running in VM) as below:
Local Security policy:
Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts: Disabled
Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares:Disabled
net use \\1.2.3.4\ipc$ "" /u:"" is a success. But when i execute "net view \\1.2.3.4" there is a "System error 5 has occurred.Access is denied" error message. Googling for the same hasn't turned out the expected results on how to correct this. Do i need to configure any additional settings in the Win XP machine to completely allow null sessions? Firewall is turned off by the way.

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
