NBTscan is a program for scanning IP networks for NetBIOS name information. It sends NetBIOS status query to each address in supplied range and lists received information in human readable form. For each responded host it lists IP address, NetBIOS computer name, logged-in user name and MAC address. NBTscan produces a report like that: IP address NetBIOS Name Server User MAC address ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.168.1.2 MYCOMPUTER JDOE 00-a0-c9-12-34-56 192.168.1.5 WIN98COMP <server> RROE 00-a0-c9-78-90-00 192.168.1.123 DPTSERVER <server> ADMINISTRATOR 08-00-09-12-34-56 NBTscan is very fast and can be used to quickly scan large networks. Possible applications of NBTscan include scanning for Windows machines that are sharing files and folders, finding which user is logged on on to which machine, which IP address belongs to which user and so on. NBTscan 1.0.3 can be downloaded from http://www.inetcat.org/software/nbtscan.html Changes since the previous version: - NBTscan now returns meaningful exit code (patch by James Troup for Debian Linux) - Added /etc/hosts and lmhosts format output (suggested by Anahuac de Paula Gil and Sigmund Baginov) - configure script now honours --prefix argument (patch by Petter Reinholdtsen) - Error messages now include IP address that caused error - NBTscan accepts a file with a list of IP addresses to scan (suggested by Omas Jakobsson) - Service number is printed for unknown NetBIOS services in -h mode (suggested by Dan Wright) - Fixed some compile-time warnings on Linux - Corrected some typos
