Re: Scanning for blank admin passwords on a windows box

Hi,

I completely agree with Anders about userinfo. The only problem is that this
tool messes up a bit on a target with a "large" (>20-30) number of users:
some weak account are not detected (blanck password, or equal to username).
So it's better to double check with another tool like the one Erwin (van der
Zwan) named.

Hope this helped,

Olivier

If it can also try the username as password, server name as password
that
would also be nice.


   Take a look at the multithreaded beta of userinfo 1.9 at
http://www.clicknet.ch/chscene/chscene.php. It's not fully multithreaded,
though -- it only does it over 64-subnets. It's also in the SecurityFocus
tools list, but there is at least one other tool with the same name to
confuse you.

   Main problem is that it reports in web page format...

   There are several non-mt tools that does the same thing.
