While discovering open NETBIOS ports i.e 445 through Angry IP scanner, I was able to view the open shares but the system which were password protected sometimes prompted for password exposing their username and sometimes both the passsword and username fields were blank as if expecting me to provide both the usrname and pwd. Wats the difference ??

there is no much difference. But now a days netbios attack won't work much cos all the firewalls will block it. U can see the shared files using the net command. But u cannot do anything more than tat.

there are many idiots still living on this earth who think that their data is safe until tampered locally !
I have found many shares ( unprotected ) !! for GUI I use Angry IP scanner.

[growingboy]

how to find whether the share is protected or not.

[cerebrum]

when you try to connect to the share it asks for the password .
hence it is protectd !

Seeing that its protected

do a banner scan on the ip

then find out what hes using since ur gaining somewhat access to him find a exploit for the users pc then upload it

or go into backtrack 3 linux and type this

./fast-track.py -i 4 127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1 being his ip

then it will do over a 100000 exploits on the users pc and give u a list of all u can do to access his computer


hope it helps
