EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/494/info By establishing a Null session with an NT host, an intruder can gain the name of even a renamed Administrator account. This is because even Null sessions are added to the Everyone group for the duration of the connection. This was done so that hosts not in the domain could still use MS Networking's browser functions. First - making a NULL Session connection One way to this is by using the Net Use command with an empty password. Programmatically, it looks like this.... //This function called from dialog that fills listbox with connections BOOL EstablishNullSession(CString TargetHost, CNTOHunterDlg* pDlg) { //Setup for UNICODE char* pTemp = TargetHost.GetBuffer(256); WCHAR wszServ[256]; LPWSTR Server = NULL; //Convert to Unicode MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, pTemp, strlen(pTemp)+1, wszServ, sizeof(wszServ)/sizeof(wszServ[0]) ); //Create the IPC$ share connection string we need Server = wszServ; LPCWSTR szIpc = L"\\IPC$"; WCHAR RemoteResource[UNCLEN + 5 + 1]; // UNC len + \IPC$ + NULL DWORD dwServNameLen; DWORD dwRC; //Setup Win32 structures and variables we need NET_API_STATUS nas; USE_INFO_2 ui2; SHARE_INFO_1* pSHInfo1 = NULL; DWORD dwEntriesRead; DWORD dwTotalEntries; //Set up handles to tree control to insert connection results HTREEITEM machineRoot, shareRoot, userRoot, adminRoot, attribRoot; char sharename[256]; char remark[256]; if(Server == NULL || *Server == L'\0') { SetLastError(ERROR_INVALID_COMPUTERNAME); return FALSE; } dwServNameLen = lstrlenW( Server ); //Test for various errors in connection string and recover if(Server[0] != L'\\' && Server[1] != L'\\') { // prepend slashes and NULL terminate RemoteResource[0] = L'\\'; RemoteResource[1] = L'\\'; RemoteResource[2] = L'\0'; } else { dwServNameLen -= 2; // drop slashes from count RemoteResource[0] = L'\0'; } if(dwServNameLen > CNLEN) { SetLastError(ERROR_INVALID_COMPUTERNAME); return FALSE; } if(lstrcatW(RemoteResource, Server) == NULL) return FALSE; if(lstrcatW(RemoteResource, szIpc) == NULL) return FALSE; //Start with clean memory ZeroMemory(&ui2, sizeof(ui2)); //Fill in the Win32 network structure we need to use connect API ui2.ui2_local = NULL;
