VBS Script to map NAS network smb drives over specific SSID wifi homenets (non GPO script)

I recently posted this script on usenet because some many people now
have NAS storage devices accessible via there home wifi networks.

This script should help out the people with the question on how to mount a network attached storage device (like my coolmax NAS) to there windows profile during windows boot.

This vbs works by utilizing the wmi and cimv2 mappings to access the the MSNdis_80211_Configuration and the Win32_NetworkAdapter references.

You need to have the local WMI service enabled for this to work.

FYI:This has been tested under Windows XP.

DNS version attempts & tools

There has been some DNS junk flying around again.. so refresh.

Dont forget how easy it is to do a DNS version attempt.

dig @ns.example.com -c CH -t txt version.bind


Make sure your BIND/Named is obfuscated/disabled with custom message..


options
{
version "Generic DNS Server";
}


Not that it helps much with fpdns around.

anonymous@:~$ fpdns -D google.com
fingerprint (google.com, 216.239.34.10): ISC BIND 8.3.0-RC1 -- 8.4.4
fingerprint (google.com, 216.239.36.10): ISC BIND 8.3.0-RC1 -- 8.4.4

Perl: (Fingerprint.PM)


Make sure your read basic DNS information like

Cisco's: DNS Best Practices, Network Protections, and Attack Identification

And understand the principles laid out in Secure BIND configurations such as:
http://www.cymru.com/Documents/secure-bind-template.html

Look into DNS Debug tools such as DNSwalk, dlint, & DOC

And for reverse lookups use where there is no PTR record try A record caches like:
Passive DNS Replication @

Simple http get request... snooze.

Lets get some basic headers using sbd.exe, nc, telnet whatever..

telnet www.microsoft.com 80
nc www.microsoft.com 80
sbd -c off www.microsoft.com 80


Enter default HTTP / GET|OPTIONS|PUT|POST|HEAD|TRACE Command
(Using Host header is only important when there is vhosting on the IP/hostname)
GET / HTTP /1.1
Host: www.microsoft.com
Press Enter twice


(Windows telnet lameness.. Turning on local echo..)
Type "Ctrl+]"
Type "set localecho"
Press Enter twice

Digg + Idiots + RapidShare = p0wn3d


God damn it.. dumb ideas just stay around for far too long.

Ok we all know what the hell rapidshare is. It's a waste of internet space. One thing though a couple of years ago somebody dugg an article on a way to get around restrictions using a server script called rapidleech. Ok all in good fashion, but come on... you leave this open on apache server which can process php files.. and allow public upload to your server from any url.. (r57.php c99/100.php the list just goes on and on.. ) Renaming the file really helped huh..?

Just look at the multiversion google dork:
[2 years later and still 117+ zombies waiting to happen]
"Bugs Report to Rapidget.bug"

Mozilla Prism & Pen-testing


Mozilla Prism , one in a series of recent site-specific-browsers(ssb) has become a fairly useful tool for me. I can run the web applications under different users (run as.. ). This allows limiting access and resources to the web application. It also allows running multiple different cookie sets at one time.

Simple example is having multiple gmail accounts logged in at one time. A more complex example is cookie manipulation while authenticated during access level enumeration.

Prism allows for the fine tuning of ssb to accommodate multiple pentesting angles.In the past I've rebranded Firefox and done similar things as running as guest users, but it was never this easy.

Prism and Flash on Windows
Its is pretty simple to enable your plugins (not talking extensions here.. ) on Prism on a windows system. All you have to do is copy your {program files}\Mozilla Firefox\plugins directory to your {program files}\Prism\Plugins directory. The Prism plugins directory doesnt exist by default and needs to be created. You may also want to copy the files into the XULRunner plugins directory. XUL runner handles any XUL apps that may depend on those plugins as well.
