Re: Enumeration of NAT'ed computer names

I have a need to enumerate computer names i.e. \\elvis  and \\winbox
in a SOHO NAT'ed network.  The basic idea here is that \\elvis was used
to commit a crime, but in order to tie \\elvis the offender, I have to
prove that \\elvis exists on the network.   

Caveat:

I have to do it legally, and I can't actively penetrate the network to enumerate the names. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.


I have no idea if this will work, but it seems like you might be able to
sniff some goodies like this if you can lure a user to a website of your
making.  You could place a link/image/stylesheet/etc on that page which
points to a URL in UNC format (eg "\\EVIL_IP\file").  I've heard before
that you can convince Windows to send you password hashes to your
systems this way in certain situations, but not sure it'll send you what
you seek.


good luck,
tim
