<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have read a lot from msdn but couldn't find anything of this case be covered:<br />
In a Windows (XP, Vista, 7) workgroup, no domain applied, box A shares a folder with username/password (or specifies a user-account), when box B trying to map A's shared folder as local drive, what protocol is being used for authentication, Kerberos or NTLM 2? What configuration should I check if I want to force Kerberos? Any official article from MS about this?<br />

Thank you

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.
