Inter-process Communication (IPC) is an essential resource needed for establishing remote connections. It allows for the sharing of application data across named network pipes. This resource is represented as IPC$, where $ represents an administrative hidden share. IPC can be disabled to prevent unauthenticated connections. You can disable IPC connection and sharing by disabling the corresponding hidden share.
