Hi xyberpix,

Most of the time, MSSQL-boxes use a "hybrid" authentication model; a
combination of SQL authentication and NT authentication is used. So probably
you can already connect to the database. The easiest ways to check:

- start isql.exe while logged on as an Administrator;
- install and start the MSSQL enterprise manager on _a_ box and connect to
the MSSQL-box you've found using NT credentials. Enterprise manager makes it
possible to view databases, data and to maintain them (backups etc.).

If they use MSSQL authentication only:

- try user SA with a blank password (*lol*);
- run a pwdump on the NT-box and crack the password of the users found
(LC5/rainbowtables). Most of the time found logon names and passwords are
also used on SQL.

Have fun and please let us know how the story ended ;)


Greets,

Jeroen
