Hello, if they're using WINS, send a NetBIOS name request for the username, netbios service 03 (i.e. messenger service) to the WINS server. It will respond with the IP of the host registered to the user's workstation. -------------------------------------------- Mike Sues, GCIH CEO & Ethical Hack Specialist Rigel Kent Security & Advisory Services Inc http://www.rigelksecurity.com voice:613.233.HACK fax :613.233.1788 toll free :1.877.777.H8CK -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: offset [mailto:offset () ubersecurity org] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 1:34 AM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: locate windows workstation if you know the username Greetings fellow pen-testers, Looking for ideas on tracking down a windows workstation if you know the username. I know that if I run net send username "" I can tell that the user is online without the message box popping up on their machine (usually), but I'd like to know which workstation a particular user is at for a targeted arp spoofing attack against a client. -off ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps?
