I am in an odd situation at the moment, very new to the scene and i am =
currently trying to lockdown my home network from the world. I have =
NetBios active over tcp/ip so i can easily access certain ends of my =
system from my office. Now, what i am worried about it protecting the =
system even though i have a nice password structure. Is there a Netbios =
password tool, like a "cracker" i can run to test my passwords, all my =
clients are on win2k, win 98 and two samba server on rh8.  I cant get =
any results other than script kiddy and hacking sites when looking for a =
legit tool for checking passwords. Any help?
