remote access

[benzslr123]

there are three computers running on a wireless network, one running damn vulnerable linux, one running windows vista (with no firewalls), and the final one running BT3. what programs should be used for the computer running BT3 to remotely access the hard drives of the two other computers? (is this even possible?)

links are appreciated otherwise i'll use our good friend google

Assuming this is a lab you have setup and you actually own all of the computers:
If you are planning to gain access without installing any software on the others, then you could try port scanning to see if any port is open with a vulnerable daemon listening. Try using nmap -sV -p- <ipaddress>
-sV: Probe open ports to determine service/version info
-p- : Scans all ports.
With the results you could go through www.milw0rm.com database to find an appropriate exploit. You could also try the autopwn included in fast-track to try and get answers right away.
But if you are interested in actually learning I highly recommend reading about port scanning to start out with as it is usually a vital process in penetrating a computer.
Here is a place to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portscanning

samba can be used to access the computers

i know of various open ports on the computers (and yes they are mine) thanks for the advice

Ok, so you want to learn how to penetrate your computers, you know the ports that are open....what are you waiting for??
if port 22 is open, use the ssh <ip address> command to connect.
if port 139 is open, google "Hacking net-bios with linux" and get one of the tuts.
etc.......Just use the port service to your advantage.

bt ~ # smbclient -L mycomputer
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf":
No such file or directory
smbclient: Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

it will not let me type anything into the password prompt, what should i do?

nevermind i got the anonymous login to work... what now?

it accepts basic commands like...
'get <filename>' will download the file
'put <filename>' will upload the file
'cd <dir>'
'ls'

what programs could i use to gain remote access to the DVL box? it has various TCP ports open, one of which is running MySQL (from what i've read this should be a good attack point, any suggestions?)

[imported_UG_Cyber]

post up the ports and the IP.....=)
Just post up the ports and we can tell you what you need. Otherwise, if we dont know what protocal to exploit.

Yes, you should maybe read a book at first or even better take the offensive security training. It is more than worth it's money and you will be able to answer the questions yourself afterwards.

If you don't have the slightest clue on what to do, you need to read more (books, on this forum, use google to search on pentesting).
