    I’m a defender who is trying to learn more about offense. Recently I decided to install a Windows VM in virt-manager and started doing some recon on it.

    What I found is the only port listening on a default install of Windows 10 pro is 7680 which is for Windows Update Download Optimization and I have no idea where to proceed from there.

    Is there any good beginner resources that start from using a single Windows target and work out from there?

      I would set up a Kali VM and play on HTB or tryhack me. They will have windows machines already set up for you. HTB academy’s “getting started” module would be a good place to start or TCM’s practical ethical hacking course (there is a free version on YouTube).
