[Autogenerated] now that we've completed our
demonstration of collecting local information,
let's move on and see what information can be obtained remotely for this.
We are going to be utilizing the Python W M I module again,
and because we are going to be using it to connect to a
remote device instead of a local one,
this requires that the target machine be configured to allow Windows management,
instrumentation or W M I communications.
Of course, this is a large caveat.
As not all systems will be configured with W M.
I understand that any real secured system is going to be
firewalled and somewhat isolated from information collection
activities and as a network security engineer,
your goal is to collect whatever information is
able to be collected in this case, remotely.
Our intention in using this module is that it is
possible that in some environments,
W M I is enabled to help manage infrastructures and in other cases part of
the exploitation is gaining enough access to enable W M.
I on a target system.
So now, with this reviewed, let's move into our demonstration environment again,
