  File and Printer Sharing (NetBIOS) Fact and Fiction
NetBIOS (Microsoft Networking) Share Level passwords easy to defeat when Scope ID is not used (see "Increasing NetBIOS Security with Scope ID").
Exposed NetBIOS shares are at risk not only from from malicious crackers, but also from supposedly legitimate entities.
This is because computers running NetBIOS over TCP/IP with Scope ID are invisible to other computers that do not have the same Scope ID.

  NetBIOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NetBIOS was developed by Sytek Inc. for IBM 's PC-Network in 1983.
With Novell's release of Advanced Novell Netware 2.0 in 1986, NetBIOS was reconfigured to be encapsulated in the IPX/SPX protocol.
NetBIOS names are 16 bytes in length and vary based on the particular implementation.

NetBIOS requires one process to be the client and the other to be the server.
NetBIOS enables an application to establish a session with another device and lets the network redirector and transaction protocols pass a request to and from another machine.
The primary purpose of a NetBIOS scope ID is to isolate NetBIOS traffic on a single network to only those nodes with the same NetBIOS scope ID. The NetBIOS scope ID is a character string that is appended to the NetBIOS name.

 RFC 1001 (rfc1001) - Protocol standard for a NetBIOS service on a TCP/UDP
NetBIOS name and datagram distribution servers are the focus of name and datagram activity for P and M nodes.
NetBIOS messages are sent by prepending the user data with a message header and sending the header and the user data over the TCP connection.
The OFFSET field is the byte offset from the beginning of the NetBIOS datagram data section to the first byte of the data section in a fragment.

 NetBios NetBEUI NBF Networking Introduction
NetBIOS is often described as a "Session Layer" protocol and a variety of transport systems have been used in different implementations.
The current official term used by IBM is "NetBIOS Frames Protocol" (NBF) and it is not unreasonable to shorten this to "NetBIOS".
Since the NetBIOS Frames Protocol was used with the NetBEUI API it became accepted practice to refer to these protocols as the "NetBEUI protocol".

 NetBIOS protocol, netbeui over TCP, server message blocks
NetBIOS interfaces with the upper layer application via an interrupt (0x5C) which is called pointing to a 64-byte data structure which is the NCB.
NetBIOS User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is equivalent to IP in that it is used to transfer data from device to device but NOT to carry upper layer protocols (as in IP/UDP).
Native NetBIOS carries out extensive broadcasting and is therefore very bandwidth intensive, it also needs to be bridged or, if it is to be routed, then encapsulated in IP or IPX ready for routing (often preferable because it is bandwidth hungry, the problem with is the reduction in speed).

 NetBios NetBEUI NBF Networking Encapsulation
NetBIOS names are strings of 16 bytes with few restrictions; NetBIOS names can and often do contain characters which are illegal in DNS names such as spaces, underscores and other non-alphanumeric characters.
An encoding scheme is used to represent the 16 byte NetBIOS names as a 32 character string to which a stop and then the scope identifier is appended to form a DNS name.
In practice it seems that the main implementations of NetBIOS over TCP/IP utilize a local cache for Name resolution; name to IP address mappings that have recently been resolved are held in a local cache for a short time which can reduce the need to access the network to resolve names to IP addresses.

 What is NetBIOS? - a definition from Whatis.com
NetBIOS is used in Ethernet and Token Ring networks and, included as part of NetBIOS Extended User Interface (NetBEUI), in recent Microsoft Windows operating systems.
NetBIOS frees the application from having to understand the details of the network, including error recovery (in session mode).
NetBIOS provides the session and transport services described in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model.

 Description of NetBIOS Browsing Console (Browcon.exe)
NetBIOS browsing is used in many programs and utilities that are designed to run on Windows-based networks.
The left pane of NetBIOS Browsing Console is populated with browsing data that is collected from the subnets that are used during the troubleshooting process.
NetBIOS Browsing Console can help you to troubleshoot when a single system or a group of systems is missing from a client’s browse list.

NetBIOS Working Group [Page 62] RFC 1001 March 1987 For any of the implementation models, the TCP/IP service can be located in the operating system or split among the NetBIOS applications and the NetBIOS service processes.

 Network Basic Input/Output System - NetBIOS
Short for Network Basic Input/Output System, NetBIOS was developed by IBM, Microsoft, and Sytek and is what allows software applications, commonly used on IBM compatible computers, communicate with network hardware, allowing data to be transmitted properly over a network.
NetBIOS commonly communicates on ports 137, 138 and 139.
If your network or computer has a firewall setup that blocks any of these ports it is likely warning messages will be received when your computer communicates with another computer that utilizes NetBIOS (for example: Microsoft Windows).

 NetBIOS Info Basic
This tool is designed to access resources such as network drives or printers shared by Windows through the NetBIOS protocol.
This tool can help you identify the shares that are vulnerable to unauthorized access including 'writable share' access commonly used for propagation by worms.
The screenshot shows the shares on the local network including hidden shares and disk drive paths (if NetScanTools Pro is used on a Windows 2003/XP/2000 machine).

 NetBIOS: Friend or Foe?
NetBIOS is an application programming interface, providing a set of functions that applications use to communicate across networks.
NetBIOS was designed to be used on the LAN, and the naming architecture reflects that philosophy.
The NetBIOS name is often based on the computer name within NT, and it is used to identify servers for most types of communication, including file sharing and domain authentications.

 Implementing CIFS: NBT
NetBIOS is a driver that presents an API; it is neither a protocol nor a topology.
For an M or H node, the scope is the union of the local broadcast and the NBNS scopes.
Converting NetBIOS names to upper case allows for comparison of the encoded string, rather than requiring that NBT names be decoded and compared using a case-insensitive function.

 WINS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
NetBIOS names, if repeated on another domain that is on the network, may cause a problem since there is no way to distinguish NetBIOS names between two domains.
Therefore on large Networks IP is used to transport NetBIOS and rather than using broadcasts, information is sent to the WINS server.
When a NetBIOS broadcast is to go out, a computer sends over TCP/IP to a WINS server to resolve NetBIOS names.

 What is SMB, NetBIOS etc.?
In other words, it uses (or thinks it uses) the same method of communicating with any other SMB system no matter what type of protocol is used underneath.
Think of NetBIOS as a passenger and TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPX, and SNA as different types of vehicles (like airplanes, automobiles, buses, etc).
It would be like asking the passenger to walk from point A to point B without taking any vehicle at all.
