Re: Linux Targets in a Windows Domain

[arvind doraiswamy <arvind.doraiswamy () gmail com>]

Maybe the Linux box is joined to an AD domain? I'm reasonably sure(coz
I did this long ago) that the SMB suite of tools can be used to access
Windows resources from the Linux box.

In other words.. Maybe the Linux box is using some credentials
somewhere to join itself to the AD which you can get hold of?

Another thing that can be done is(if you get root) is to install a
sniffer(or maybe it already is installed) and sniff traffic from other
machines. Maybe they're storing files on that Linux box?

Is the code also on the same Webserver? What about the DB? Maybe a
harcoded connection string? Get access to a DB using a SQL client..and
take it from there?

Hope that helps a bit :)
