Linux enumeration

Local enumeration on Linux is similar to Windows and involves using manual techniques and tools to enumerate important information. In this section, we will explore a few automated tools that help simplify and streamline the enumeration process.

Note

Package managers will vary based on the Linux distribution in question. This will be pointed out and highlighted in the following sections.
