I am taking sec+ as well as a handful of other certs. Luckally I have a 2003
Server to play with to learn things.

I do have a question about some of the things I am learning.

One thing that I'm a bit confused about.

    While using tools like Cain on machine how is it able to grab all the
data such as users, groups, services, etc on a remote system. Especally when
the credatials are either at the user level on the remote system or none
exsistent (ie no account on the remote system).

    I understand it will differ from OS to OS an general over veiw is all i
need and a being pointed in the right direction to learn for myself. (I've
tried googling this and other similar questions but I'm sick of getting porm
and comprimising my test systems - at least they are VPC so gettings thing
up and running is easier).

Thank you,

Please reply to the newsgroup so we can all learn from others.
