How to Play NetBIOS
Wargames
What if you want to challenge your friends to a hacker wargame
using NetBIOS? The first thing to do is *don't* email me asking
me to break in for you. Sheesh. Seriously, almost every day I
get emails from people claiming to have permission from their
girlfriend/boyfriend and begging me to help them break in. You
can read their hilarious pleas for help at http://happyhacker.org/sucks/
.
The way to run a hacker wargame over the Internet is first,
get permission from your Internet provider so they don't kick
you off for hacking. They probably run an IDS that scans users
for suspicious activity. They probably hate malicious hackers.
Enough said.
Second, you and your friends are likely to be at a different
Internet address every time you log on. Your safest way to play
over the Internet is for each player to get an Internet address
that is the same every time he or she logs on: a "static"
address. This way you won't accidentally break into someone else's
computer.
You have to arrange with your Internet provider to get a static
address. Normally only a local provider can do this for you.
A big advantage of using a local provider is you can make friends
with the people who work there - and they are probably hackers.
If you live in an apartment building or dormitory with other
hackers, you can play break-in games without using the Internet.
Set up a LAN where you can play together. For example, you can
string Ethernet cable from window to window. To learn how to
set up a Windows Ethernet LAN, see http://happyhacker.org/gtmhh/winlan.shtml
.
Or you could set up a wireless LAN. With wireless you never
know who might come cruising with a laptop down the street by
your home or business and break in. That can make a wargame lots
more fun. For help on how to break into wireless LANs (it's pathetically
easy), see http://www.wardriving.com.

Evil
genius tip: Attack using a Win NT server with the Microsoft Resource
Kit installed. Heh, heh. With it you can give the
command:
C:\>Local Administrators \\<targetbox.com>
This should show all user accounts with administrator rights
on targetbox.com.
C:\>Global Administrators \\<targetbox.com >
This should show all user accounts with Domain administrative
rights. These are exceptionally worth compromising, because with
one Domain administrative password you will be able to control
many resources among NT servers, workstations, and Win 95/98
computers.
I've tried to install the Resource Kit on XP Professional,
but it wasn't compatible.
Another option is to install hacker tools such as Red Button
and DumpACL, which extract information on user names, hashes,
and which services are running on a given machine.

Help
for users of Windows 95, 98, SE or ME
To enable NetBIOS, click
Control Panel -> Network -> Protocols
If you see both NetBEUI and TCP/IP, you are already using
NetBIOS. If not, add NetBEUI.
To bring up the command screen, click Start -> Run and
type in command.com.
