Well if you ON the network, there are MANY ways to start cracking into
boxes.

Here's just one:  Sniff traffic on the wireless collision domain [or arp
spoof to get all traffic] find a IM program talking to other clients or IM
servers [yahoo, aim, msn, irc] and send them a link with the WMF exploit.

Like I said , this is only one way, and is a blended threat due to the human
interaction involved [social engineering]

Subject: Pentesting Network Share Access via wireless


Hi All,
     While doing a pen-test on a wireless network, I noticed that the router
was not configured properly, and was giving out IP addresses to everyone.
Now after noticing all the host pc's on the network with nmap -sP, my
question is if I don't know the passwords for any of the host what is the
best way to do a dictionary attempt on the guest, or administrator accounts.
All the internal host are windows XP.

Thanks in advance, all help is welcomed.
