enum4linux-ng.py is a rewrite of Mark Lowe's (former Portcullis Labs now Cisco CX Security Labs) enum4linux.pl, a tool for enumerating information from Windows and Samba systems, aimed for security professionals and CTF players. The tool is mainly a wrapper around the Samba tools `nmblookup`, `net`, `rpcclient` and `smbclient`.

I made it for educational purposes for myself and to overcome issues with enum4linux.pl. It has the same functionality as the original tool. Other than the original tool it parses all output of the Samba tools and allows to export all findings as YAML or JSON file. The idea behind this is to allow other tools to import the findings and further process them. It is planned to add new features in the future.

Some things are implemented differently, than in the original enum4linux. These are the important differences:
