"Security researchers at SkullSecurity have demonstrated how the
NetBIOS protocol allows trivial hijacking due to its design, through
the use of a tool called 'nbpoison' (in the package 'nbtool'). If a
DNS lookup fails on Windows, the operating system will broadcast a
NetBIOS lookup request that anybody can respond to. One vector of
attack is against business workstations on an untrusted network, like
a hotel; all DNS requests for internal resources can be redirected
(Exchange, proxy, WPAD, etc). Other attack vectors are discussed in a
related blog post. Although similar attacks exist against DHCP, ARP
and many other LAN-based protocols, we all know that untrusted systems
on a LAN means game over. NetBIOS poisoning is much quieter and less
likely to break other things."
