edit: didnt notice it said 2k server ... but this info is good for 9x/me
Windows 95, 98, and Millenium have a vulnerability that will allow you to crack the passwords to these shares with amazing speed and without the need of brute forcing. For more information about this, you can read about it
http://www.securiteam.com/exploits/5WP010K4UA.html . Go to Start / Run or Windows key R and type command. (cmd if you have Windows NT or 2000) When a command prompt opens up type nbtstat -a ipaddress. Make sure to put the spaces inbetween the commands. You should get output that looks like this:
Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [4.3.37.XXX] Scope Id: []
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status

MATRIX <00> UNIQUE Registered

MATRIX <03> UNIQUE Registered
WORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Registered

WORKGROUP <1D> UNIQUE Registered
..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered
MATRIX <6A> UNIQUE Registered
MATRIX <87> UNIQUE Registered
MAC Address = 00-80-C6-F9-X-X
The very first name is the NetBIOS name (MATRIX) and the sixth name is the current user on that computer. That could used for other hacking reasons...possibly brute forcing, but that is a diffrent lesson. Important! Remember the NetBIOS name because you will need that to crack the share password.
Download a copy of PQwak and open it up.
http://www.illmob.org/files/pqwak.zip- Where it says NBNAME pug the NetBIOS name that you acquired from nbtstat.
- Put the share name where it says SHARE. The share name is the name of the folder that is password protected.
- Put the IP of your victim where it says IP. Example 4.3.57.153. I am using the 4.x.x.x subnet because it is full of DSL users that are always online.
- The delay should be set accordingly depending on your connection speed. If your connection is a 56K dialup then I HIGHLY recommend your delay be approx. 1000 - 2000. If your connection is standard ADSL then I recommend you set the delay to 800-900.
