Penetration Testing: RE: Unknown App

RE: Unknown App

This will work only if command prompt access is granted - guess clicking on Control Panel/Add-Remove Application icon would be easier in case of legitimate application ;-)

In case of remote test the most simple solution would be nmap's -A switch or some other application fingerprinting tool. You can try also do some fuzzing and see if you'll get any response. Secondly - because this is Windows system - you might try to enumerate remotely running services or access system/application logs remotely (considering you have credential or there are no restriction on NULL session and ports 135-139 are not filtered.)
