Hi Bob,

Alot of times misconfigured web servers return a "Content-Location" header
which displays an internal IP..

Another good way is using things like epmapper, or BindViews rpctools, or
AtStake's dcetest to query a (Win32) DCE epmapper.

Sometimes, you find things when looking through the HTML code, comments,
maybe even some code to speak to any back-end servers.

Then there is trying to talk SNMP to the NAT device, which may even return
the exact mappings if your lucky! :)

Other techniques may involve firewalking depending on how the victim border
routers/firewalls are configured.

And something that just popped into my head is getting a HTTP server to
return an error. Alot of times the errors are overly verbose, giving up an IP.

HTH,

Chris.
