Hi Dave, If you do a few searches you will see that 445 is the new "NetBios" (kinda.) Microst-DS, or Microsoft Directory Services. It's great for penetration testers because a lot of firewall admins have blocked the standard Netbios ports. Quick Tip: Netbios brute force attacks with brutus work fine if you change the target port from 139 to 445. Quick Tip #2: Null session enumeration works over 445 too.
