Basic Security Scan (Windows 7 client machines)
Morning all,
I have scanned a set of 20 computers (windows 7) and have received a report back with the following medium risk:
SMB Signing Disabled
Signing is not required on the remote SMB server. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks against the SMB server.
I have done a little research but everything seem to be pointing to server side change and from operating systems from 2000 to XP with a reference to:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/887429
I wanted to know is this something i need to be concerned about from the client side? and has anyone anything windows related?
