Hi Dave,

If you do a few searches you will see that 445 is the new "NetBios"
(kinda.) Microst-DS, or Microsoft Directory Services. It's great for
penetration testers because a lot of firewall admins have blocked the
standard Netbios ports.

Quick Tip: Netbios brute force attacks with brutus work fine if you change
the target port from 139 to 445.

Quick Tip #2: Null session enumeration works over 445 too. Yay!
