Enumeration

Nmap scan

I started my enumeration with an nmap scan of 10.10.10.xxx. The options I regularly use are:

`Flag`	Purpose
`-p-`	A shortcut which tells nmap to scan all ports
`-vvv`	Gives very verbose output so I can see the results as they are found, and also includes some information not normally shown
`-sC`	Equivalent to `--script=default` and runs a collection of nmap enumeration scripts against the target
`-sV`	Does a service version scan
`-oA $name`	Saves all three formats (standard, greppable, and XML) of output with a filename of `$name`
