Hey Guys...
I was earlier today reading a topic on hacking (not that i am a hacker of course). I found they can connect to your computer through 'file and printer sharing' using NetBIOS. I followed a simple tutorial and decided i wanted to see if i can get into my own computer, just to see if my security is good enough. ![]() So i went on a friends computer and 'ping'ed myself using my IP Address. I have outpost firewall pro 2009 and a result (No packets recieved) Then I turned outpost firewall off and recieved all the packets sent... After pinging my PC and recieving data from it i decided i will try to hack using NetBIOS. This was my command: nbtstat -a <myipaddress> This is supposed to bring up the NetBIOS remote machine table, however it brought up 'Host Not Found'. My friends computer is not connected to mine using a server or anything, infact its not connected to it at all, only through internet. Does NetBIOS only work on a local computer network (i.e. several computers connected to each other via a server?) ![]() Or do you just need an internet connection, or am i doing some commands wrong, i really would like to test my security, can anyone help? Thanx to anyone who can... as usual ![]() Sorry i cant help anyone lately either, i have been really busy, not that i dont show myself up with rather crappy answers anyway lol... |

It is important that your firewall (router?) blocks netbios over the internet, ie, over TCP/IP. Also, in a WiFi hotspot, you should not have any shared folders.
Go to rgc.com to check if your setup is safe. Run the Shields Up program.
