An example Using Auxiliary modules

Scanning SMB version

For example we have hosts 192.168.56.101 are available on the network, we can attempt to determine which operating systems they are running. This will help us narrow down our attacks to target a specific system and will stop us from wasting time on those that aren't vulnerable to a particular exploit.

Since there are many systems in our scan that have port 445 open, we will use the 'scanner/smb/version' module to determine which version of Windows is running on a target and which Samba version is on a Linux host.
