unicornscan + nmap = onetwopunch
Unicornscan supports asynchronous scans, speeding port scans on all 65535 ports. Nmap has powerful features that unicornscan does not have. With onetwopunch, unicornscan is used first to identify open ports, and then those ports are passed to nmap to perform further enumeration.

Zone transfer request
Using Transaction Signatures (TSIG) for secure DNS server communication
Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA)
secure against it
When initialising a zone transfer, the attacker will first need to know the name of the zone which they are targeting and then specify the IP address of the DNS server to perform the zone transfer against.
Below is a zone transfer against an open DNS server. You can use either of the commands below:
dig <target domain> @<dns server> axfr
host -l <target domain> <dns server>
dig @[DNS SERVER HERE] axfr [DOMAIN NAME HERE]

The ‘@’ symbol is used to specify the target DNS server

SMB and SAMBA
Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol is a network file sharing protocol, and as implemented in Microsoft Windows
Samba has provided secure, stable and fast file and print services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol, such as all versions of DOS and Windows, OS/2, Linux and many others
 SMB Version
 Windows version
 CIFS 
 Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
 SMB 1.0
 Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2

Apparently the rpcclient version in OffSec VM does not work well with creating null sessions.

MAIL FROM
8
With this SMTP command the operations begin: the sender states the source email address in the “From” field and actually starts the email transfer.
9
​
10
RCPT TO
11
It identifies the recipient of the email; if there are more than one, the command is simply repeated address by address.
12
​
13
SIZE
14
This SMTP command informs the remote server about the estimated size (in terms of bytes) of the attached email. It can also be used to report the maximum size of a message to be accepted by the server.
15
​
16
DATA
17
With the DATA command the email content begins to be transferred; it’s generally followed by a 354 reply code given by the server, giving the permission to start the actual transmission.
18
​
19
VRFY
20
The server is asked to verify whether a particular email address or username actually exists.
21
​
22
TURN
23
This command is used to invert roles between the client and the server, without the need to run a new connaction.
24
​
25
AUTH
26
With the AUTH command, the client authenticates itself to the server, giving its username and password. It’s another layer of security to guarantee a proper transmission.
27
​
28
RSET
29
It communicates the server that the ongoing email transmission is going to be terminated, though the SMTP conversation won’t be closed (like in the case of QUIT).
30
​
31
EXPN
32
This SMTP command asks for a confirmation about the identification of a mailing list.
33
​
34
HELP
35
It’s a client’s request for some information that can be useful for the a successful transfer of the email.
36
​
37
QUIT
38
It terminates the SMTP conversation.

Port forwarding
Simplest type of traffic redirection, consists on accepting traffic from one address and port port and redirecting it to another address and port.
It can be useful to bypass address and port based filters. Rinetd is a linux tool to do it.
Local port forwarding
Creates an encrypted tunnel through two machines and have traffic redirected to a final host and port, similar to port forwarding This is useful when you are trying to connect from your machine to a destination using a gateway. The syntax is:
1
ssh gateway_host -L local_port:remote_host:remote_port
Copied!
You can later create a SSH session to the local port and have and SSH tunneled to destination:
1
ssh hop_machine -L 31337:banned_machine:22
2
ssh -p 31337 localhost
Copied!
Remote port forwarding
It creates a tunnel from the target machine to your local machine, which allows connecting to an arbitrary port on the target. Useful if the target is in a non-routable network from your local machine. This is useful when you are trying to connect to a host, behind a firewall that blocks incoming connections. This technique works as the previous one, but the connection is started from the gateway. The syntax is:
1
ssh <gateway> -R <remote port to bind>:<local host>:<local port>
Copied!
Dynamic Port Forwarding
Allows to create a tunnel from the target to your machine, and have the traffic routed to any host through target. You can configure a local port to forward traffic to multiple destinations passing through a single host. It is similar to local port forwarding but allows multiple destinations. It uses the SOCKS protocol. The syntax is:
1
ssh -D local_port remote_add
