Which TCP and UDP ports can be used to start a NULL session attack in NT and 2000 operating systems?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A null session is an anonymous connection to a freely accessible network share called IPC$ on Windows-based servers. It allows immediate

read and write access with Windows NT/2000 and read-access with Windows XP and 2003.

The command to be inserted at the DOS-prompt is as follows:

net use \IP address_or_host nameipc$ '' '/user:'

net use

Port numbers 139 TCP and 445 UDP can be used to start a NULL session attack.

Hmm, I'm going to go with C) 139 and 445. Seems like the most logical choice, and I don't want to risk messing with any other ports. Although, if I had a time machine, I'd go back and punch the guy who came up with NULL session attacks.

Ah, the old NULL session trick. I'm pretty sure the answer is C) 139 and 445. Though, to be honest, I'd rather not even think about how to do a NULL session attack. Sounds like a good way to get in trouble!

I bet the answer is C) 139 and 445. Those are the classic ports used for SMB, which is what the NULL session attack targets. Plus, I heard the exam proctors love throwing these kinds of security-related questions in there.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with NULL session attacks. Is that like when you try to log in without a password or something? Seems kind of sketchy to me.

Ooh, I've heard about these NULL session attacks before. I think the answer is C) 139 and 445. Those were the ports used in the old days to exploit the file sharing features in NT and 2000.

Whoa, a NULL session attack question? This is going to be tricky. I'm not sure I even want to attempt this one, it seems like a potential minefield.
