This sounds like a test from within the company. As it seems that you will have physical access to facilities etc, would it be possible for you to install something like a hardware key logger on a network administrators workstation? If someone has physical access to the LAN, I don't see why they couldn't place devices on peoples systems. It may violate the rules for this particular pen-test, but is something to think about. I see that you've specified that physical access to Win2k systems is possible, and are interested in not modifying the administrator account -- hardware keyloggers seem like an ideal solution. What about wireless sniffers? Does the target use any wireless networking at their facility?

A goal is to get confidential information (files) and if possible get admin rights. I will be with my computers in the LAN. A computer for normal uses (thus no Admin access) is likewise put to me at the disposal. Is there a possibility on a Windows 2000 computers (physical access is possible) to attain admin rights without to overwrite the admin account. Background: I would like try to crack the password of the local admin (e.g. by means of pwdump and John). There ist the possibility that all admin passwords (also for the domain) is alike. Is there a tool, with which I can crack NTLMv2 hashes. Background: I will try to sniff hashes during the registration at the DC (e.g. CAIN, ettercap) and to crack them. Unfortunately me is still no tool known in order to crack NTLMv2 hashes. A further possibility at to come to information, would be the employment of a SMB Proxy. By ARP Spoofing it would be nevertheless theoretically possible to intercept the LM/NTLM(v1/v2) authentication . Then the attacker could itself instead announce at the server. Does it give there already such a Tool? Who has suggestions? For Tools please give always in the Web URL (if possible of the programmer).
