NBTScan (Scans for Open NETBIOS Name Servers) :: Tools

nbtscan is a command-line tool that scans for open NETBIOS nameservers on a local or remote TCP/IP network, and this is a first step in finding of open shares. It is based on the functionality of the standard Windows tool nbtstat, but it operates on a range of addresses instead of just one. I wrote this tool because the existing tools either didn't do what I wanted or ran only on the Windows platforms: mine runs on just about everything.

Windows - The Win32 version of the tool, which works well on Windows 9x, NT and 2000, is available below as nbtscan.exe. It's written in portable C and is less than 40 kbytes, requires no special libraries or DLLs, and is run in an MS-DOS command window. I promise that the tools have no viruses, backdoors, or any other kind of overt bad behavior. I don't promise that there are no bugs.

LINUX - the code works fine on Linux, and a version built on Red Hat Linux 6.2 is available as well. I have reports that this binary works on Red Hat Linux 6.0 - 8.0, Debian "woody", and Mandrake 8.1 (we don't think we've found a Red Hat, CentOS, or Fedora system that it didn't run on).
