Mounting - Mapping

In the windows world mounting is called mapping.

If you want to see which drives are mapped/mounted to your file-system you can use any of these commands:

# This is the most thorough
wmic logicaldisk get deviceid, volumename, description

# But this works too
wmic logicaldisk get name
wmic logicaldisk get caption

# This can be slow. So don't kill your shell!
fsutil fsinfo drives

# With powershell
get-psdrive -psprovider filesystem

# This works too, but it is interacive. So it might be dangerous work hackers
diskpart
list volume

# Map only network drives
net use

The command to deal with mounting/mapping is net use

Using net use we can connect to other shared folder, on other systems. Many windows machines have a default-share called IPC (Interprocess communication share). It does not contain any files. But we can usually connect to it without authentication. This is called a null-session. Although the share does not contain any files it contains a lot of data that is useful for enumeration. The Linux-equivalent of net use is usually smbclient.

net use \\IP address\IPC$ "" /u:""
net use \\192.168.1.101\IPC$ "" /u:""

If you want to map a drive from another network to your filesystem you can do that like this:

# This will map it to drive z
net use z: \\192.168.1.101\SYSVOL

# This will map it to the first available drive-letter
net use * \\192.168.1.101\SYSVOL

Here you map the drive to the letter z. If the command is successful you should now be able to access those files by entering the z drive.

You enter the z-drive by doing this:

C:\>z:
Z:\

# Now we switch back to c
Z:\>c:
C:\

Remove a network drive - umount it

First leave the drive if you are in it:

c:
net use z: /del
