SYSTEM INTRUSION IN 15 SECONDS

System intrusion in 15 seconds, that’s right it can be done. If you possess certain security flaws your system can be broken into in less that 15 seconds.
Connect to the Internet using your dial up account if you are on dial up. If you are on dedicated service like High Speed connections (ie, Cable and DSL) then just proceed with the steps below.
• Click Start
• Go to Run
• Click Run (It’s a step by step manual) :-)
• Type Winipcfg
• Hit the Enter Key
This should bring up a window
What you should see under IP address is a number that looks something like this. 207.175.1.1 (The number will be different.)
If you use Dial Up Internet Access then you will find your IP address under PPP adapter. If you have dedicated access you will find your IP address under another adapter name like (PCI Busmaster, SMC Adapter, etc.)

Once you have the IP address write it down, then close that window by clicking (OK) and do the following.
• Click Start
• Go to Run (Click on Run)
• Type command then Click OK
Type the following at the Dos Prompt
• Nbtstat –A IP address
For example: nbtstat –A 207.175.1.1 (Please note that you must type the A in capitol letters.)

This will give you a read out
The numbers in the <> are hex code values. What we are interested in is the “Hex Code” number of <20>. A hex code of <20> means you have file and printer sharing turned on.
Once they have encountered a system with sharing turned on the next step would be to find out what is being shared.
This is how: Net view \\
For the hacker to then get access to those folders his next command will be. Net use x: \\\temp
At this point the hacker now has access to the TEMP directory of his victim.

• Netstat –a
This command will give you a listing of everything your computer is communicating with online currently.

There is software available that will show you this information without typing all those commands.
The name of the software is called Xnetstat, you can obtain a copy of it from here: http://www.arez.com/fs/xns/.
