MaHaReT Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Introduction1. Welcome to the basic NETBIOS document created by aCId_rAIn. This document will teach you some simple things about NETBIOS, what it does, how to use it, how to hack with it, and some other simple DOS commands that will be useful to you in the future. THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR NEWBIEZ ONLY!!! If you are NOT a newbie then don't go any farther reading this because if you're smart enough you probably already know it all. So don't waste yourt time reading something that you already know.1. Hardware and Firmware1a. The BIOSThe BIOS, short for Basic Input/Output Services, is the control program of the PC. It is responsible for starting up your computer, transferring control of the system to your operating system, and for handling other low-level functions, such as disk access.NOTE that the BIOS is not a software program, insofar as it is not purged from memory when you turn off the computer. It's firmware, which is basically software on a chip. A convenient little feature that most BIOS manufacturers include is a startup password. This prevents access to the system until you enter the correct password.If you can get access to the system after the password has been entered, then there are numerous software-based BIOS password extractors available from your local H/P/A/V site. NETBIOS/NBTSTAT - What does it do?2. NETBIOS, also known as NBTSTAT is a program run on the Windows system and is used for identifying a remote network or computer for file sharing enabled. We can expoit systems using this method. It may be old but on home pc's sometimes it still works great. You can use it on your friend at home or something. I don't care what you do, but remember, that you are reading this document because you want to learn. So I am going to teach you. Ok. So, you ask, "How do i get to NBTSTAT?" Well, there are two ways, but one's faster.Method 1:Start>Programs>MSDOS PROMPT>Type NBTSTAT Method 2:Start>Run>Type Command>Type NBTSTAT(Note: Please, help your poor soul if that isn't like feeding you with a baby spoon.)Ok! Now since you're in the DOS command under NBTSTAT, you're probably wondering what all that crap is that's on your screen. These are the commands you may use. I'm only going to give you what you need to know since you are striving to be l33t. Your screen should look like the following:NBTSTAT [ [-a RemoteName] [-A IP address] [-c] [-n][-r] [-R] [-RR] [-s] [-S] [interval] ]-a (adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its name-A (Adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its IP address.-c (cache) Lists NBT's cache of remote [machine] names and their IP addresses-n (names) Lists local NetBIOS names.-r (resolved) Lists names resolved by broadcast and via WINS-R (Reload) Purges and reloads the remote cache name table-S (Sessions) Lists sessions table with the destination IP addresses-s (sessions) Lists sessions table converting destination IP addresses to computer NETBIOS names.-RR (ReleaseRefresh) Sends Name Release packets to WINS and then, starts RefreshRemoteName Remote host machine name.IP address Dotted decimal representation of the IP address.interval Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds between each display. Press Ctrl+C to stop redisplayingstatistics.C:WINDOWSDESKTOP>The only two commands that are going to be used and here they are:-a (adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its name-A (Adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its IP address.Host Names3. Now, the -a means that you will type in the HOST NAME of the person's computer that you are trying to access. Just in case you don't have any idea what a Host Name looks like here's an example.123-fgh-ppp.internet.comthere are many variations of these adresses. For each different address you see there is a new ISP assigned to that computer. look at the difference.abc-123.internet.comghj-789.newnet.comthese are differnet host names as you can see, and, by identifying the last couple words you will be able to tell that these are two computers on two different ISPs. Now, here are two host names on the same ISP but a different located server.123-fgh-ppp.internet.com567-cde-ppp.internet.comIP Addresses4. You can resolce these host names if you want to the IP address (Internet Protocol)IP addresses range in different numbers. An IP looks like this:201.123.101.123Most times you can tell if a computer is running on a cable connection because of the IP address's numbers. On faster connections, usually the first two numbers are low. here's a cable connection IP.24.18.18.10on dialup connections IP's are higher, like this:208.148.255.255notice the 208 is higher than the 24 which is the cable connection.REMEMBER THOUGH, NOT ALL IP ADDRESSES WILL BE LIKE THIS.Some companies make IP addresses like this to fool the hacker into believing it's a dialup, as a hacker would expect something big, like a T3 or an OC-18. Anyway This gives you an idea on IP addresses which you will be using on the nbtstat command.Getting The IP Through DC (Direct Connection)5. First. You're going to need to find his IP or host name. Either will work. If you are on mIRC You can get it by typing /whois (nick) ...where (nick) is the persons nickname without parenthesis. you will either get a host name or an IP. copy it down. If you do not get it or you are not using mIRC then you must direct connect to their computer or you may use a sniffer to figure out his IP or host name. It's actually better to do it without the sniffer because most sniffers do not work now-a-days. So you want to establish a direct connection to their computer. OK, what is a direct connection? When you are:Sending a file to their computer you are directly connected.AOL INSTANT MESSENGER allows a Direct Connection to the user if accepted.ICQ when sending a file or a chat request acception allows a direct connection.Any time you are sending a file. You are directly connected. (Assuming you know the user is not using a proxy server.)Voice Chatting on Yahoo establishes a direct connection.If you have none of these programs, either i suggest you get one, get a sniffer, or read this next statement.If you have any way of sending thema link to your site that enables site traffic statistics, and you can log in, send a link to your site, then check the stats and get the IP of the last visitor. It's a simple and easy method i use. It even fool some smarter hackers, because it catches them off guard. Anyway, once you are directly connected use either of the two methods i showed you earlier and get into DOS. Type NETSTAT -n. NETSTAT is a program that's name is short for NET STATISTICS. It will show you all computers connected to yours. (This is also helpful if you think you are being hacked by a trojan horse and is on a port that you know such as Sub Seven: 27374.) Your screen should look like this showing the connections to your computer:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------C:WINDOWSDESKTOP>netstat -nActive ConnectionsProto Local Address Foreign Address StateTCP 172.255.255.82:1027 205.188.68.46:13784 ESTABLISHEDTCP 172.255.255.82:1036 205.188.44.3:5190 ESTABLISHEDTCP 172.255.255.82:1621 24.131.30.75:66 CLOSE_WAITTCP 172.255.255.82:1413 205.188.8.7:26778 ESTABLISHEDTCP 172.255.255.82:1483 64.4.13.209:1863 ESTABLISHEDC:WINDOWSDESKTOP>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The first line indicated the Protocol (language) that is being used by the two computers.TCP (Transfer Control Protocol) is being used in this and is most widely used.Local address shows your IP address, or the IP address of the system you on.Foreign address shows the address of the computer connected to yours.State tells you what kind of connection is being made ESTABLISHED - means it will stay connected to you as long as you are on the program or as long as the computer is allowing or is needing the other computers connection to it. CLOSE_WAIT means the connection closes at times and waits until it is needed or you resume connection to be made again. One that isn't on the list is TIME_WAIT which means it is timed. Most Ads that run on AOL are using TIME_WAIT states.the way you know the person is directly connected to your computer is because of this:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------C:WINDOWSDESKTOP>netstat -nActive ConnectionsProto Local Address Foreign Address StateTCP 172.255.255.82:1027 205.188.68.46:13784 ESTABLISHEDTCP 172.255.255.82:1036 205.188.44.3:5190 ESTABLISHEDTCP 172.255.255.82:1621 24.131.30.75:66 CLOSE_WAITTCP 172.255.255.82:1413 abc-123-ppp.webnet.com ESTABLISHEDTCP 172.255.255.82:1483 64.4.13.209:1863 ESTABLISHEDC:WINDOWSDESKTOP>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notice the host name is included in the fourth line instead of the IP address on all. This is almost ALWAYS, the other computer that is connected to you. So here, now, you have the host name:abc-123-ppp.webnet.comIf the host name is not listed and the IP is then it NO PROBLEM because either one works exactly the same. I am using abc-123-ppp.webnet.com host name as an example. Ok so now you have the IP and/or host name of the remote system you want to connect to. Time to hack!Open up your DOS command. Open up NBTSTAT by typing NBTSTAT. Ok, there's the crap again. Well, now time to try out what you have leanred from this document by testing it on the IP and/or host name of the remote system. Here's the only thing you'll need to know.IMPORTANT, READ NOW!!!-a (adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its name-A (Adapter status) Lists the remote machine's name table given its IP address.Remember this?Time to use it.-a will be the host name -A will be the IPHow do i know this?Read the Statements following the -a -A commands. It tells you there what each command takes.So have you found which one you have to use?GOOD!Time to start.Using it to your advantage6. Type this if you have the host name only.NBTSTAT -a (In here put in hostname without parenthesis)Type this is you have the IP address only.NBTSTAT -A (In here put in IP address without parenthesis)Now, hit enter and wait. Now Either one of two things came up1. Host not found2. Something that looks like this:--------------------------------------------NetBIOS Local Name TableName Type Status---------------------------------------------GMVPS01 <00> UNIQUE RegisteredWORKGROUP <00> GROUP RegisteredGMVPS01 <03> UNIQUE RegisteredGMVPS01 <20> UNIQUE RegisteredWORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Registered---------------------------------------------If the computer responded "Host not found" Then either one of two things are the case:1. You screwed up the host name.2. The host is not hackable.If number one is the case you're in great luck. If two, This system isn't hackable using the NBTSTAT command. So try another system.If you got the table as above to come up, look at it carefully as i describe to you each part and its purpose.Name - states the share name of that certain part of the computer<00>, <03>, <20>, <1E> - Are the Hexidecimal codes giving you the services available on that share name.Type - Is self-explanatory. It's either turned on, or activated by you, or always on.Status - Simply states that the share name is working and is activated.Look above and look for the following line:GMVPS01 <20> UNIQUE RegisteredSee it?GOOD! Now this is important so listen up. The Hexidecimanl code of <20> means that file sharing is enabled on the share name that is on that line with the hex number. So that means GMVPS01 has file sharing enabled. So now you want to hack this. Here's How to do it. (This is the hard part)LMHOST File7. There is a file in all Windows systems called LMHOST.sam. We need to simply add the IP into the LMHOST file because LMHOST basically acts as a network, automatically logging you on to it. So go to Start, Find, FIles or Folders. Type in LMHOST and hit enter. when it comes up open it using a text program such as wordpad, but make sure you do not leave the checkmark to "always open files with this extension" on that. Simply go through the LMHOST file until you see the part:# This file is compatible with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x TCP/IP lmhosts# files and offers the following extensions:## #PRE# #DOM:# #INCLUDE # #BEGIN_ALTERNATE# #END_ALTERNATE# Quote
