Title : A Quick NT Interrogation Probe

-------------------------[  a Quick nT Interrogation Probe (QTIP)


--------[  twitch <twitch@aye.net>


----[  INTRODUCTION


    As you probably already know, certain LanMan derivatives (most notably
Windows NT) sport a stupid feature known as `null sessions`.  Null sessions
allow server connections to be established without the hassle and rigmarole of
username or password authentication.  This is reportedly to ease
administrative tasks (UserManager and ilk utilize them).  Also, such silliness
such as the RedButton bug have shown (although in poor form) that an 
interested/malicious third party can gleen quite a bit of info from `Press any
key to return to index`.  Once established, these connections default to having
permissions to display enumerated user and share lists, get information about 
particular users, wander the registry, etc.  QTIP takes advantage of this,
allowing the user to procure far too much information about the target
machine.  It employs no black magic or hidden technique to do this.  QTIP
works via straight API calls.

    As of service pack 3 for NT 4.0, it is possible for the `informed` system
administrator to block null sessions through the registry, effectively
nullifying any threat from QTIP.  I do not, however, believe that there is
such a patch for 3.5.1 machines.  Also, it has not been tested against SAMBA
servers, and as far as the author knows, SAMBA does not support something as
asinine as null sessions (anyone who knows any differently is invited to mail
corrections to the author, or directly to Phrack Magazine).

    To prevent these sorts of shenanigans from happening remotely across the
Internet, the concerned system administrator can block NBT traffic at the
gateway (this sort of traffic should not be allowed to/from the Internet as
standard fare).  If you are running NT 4.0, install the service packs, and set
the appropriate registry values to disable the attack.  Or use OpenBSD.


----[  THE CODE


    QTIP has a few options.  qtip -h supplies the following info:

usage qtip[asug<username>hv] <target>
        -s:             get share list
        -u:             get user list
        -g <username>:  get infos about <username>
        -d:             leave connection established on exit
        -a:             -s + -u
        -h, -?:         display this help
        -v:             be verbose (use twice to be garrulous)

    Seems rather self explanatory.  If the verbose flag is set, then -u
implies a recursive -g.  -d is handy if you plan to take a look at the
registry as well (there's gold in them thar hills).  Omission of all flags just
establishes a null session and exits.  <target> can be a fully-qualified
domain name, ip address, or UNC format.  The code compiles like a dream under
visual c 4.1.  There is no makefile included, just link the code against 
kernel32.lib, libc.lib and wsock32.lib.  This program is most useful wrapped 
in scripts with something like tping(ip sweeper), and maybe a few registry
inquisition perl scripts.  Feel free to redistribute, just give props where
props are due, and please let me know if you make any interesting changes.
