How Hackers Exploit Windows Administrative Shares
Windows administrative shares are a built-in feature that attackers exploit to move laterally across networks and propagate malware after gaining initial access. Organizations often overlook these shares in their security hardening practices, creating a pathway for compromise spread.
Why it matters: System administrators and security teams need to understand and restrict administrative share access to prevent lateral movement and limit the blast radius of compromises.
