This is a stub. It is still used... (I think).. in what context?

How does it relate to NBTSTAT?


You know, I'm not the biggest microsoft fan out there, but I think this article contains a little bit of loaded language that's biased against Microsoft. I edited some of it out, but part of it might also be biased if someone else wants to review it.

I was looking for information regarding netbios attacks and vulnerabilities. There is no such referance in this article. Viruswitch 09:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)


I too was looking for vulnerabilities, in addition to the port numbers and protocols (tcp or udp) that it uses. Daedalus01 20:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)



[edit] Hardware NetBIOS

NetBIOS is orginally a hardware solution (hence its name). Can someone write more about it?--202.77.13.1 01:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Please explain what part of the name "NetBIOS" implies it's a hardware solution. I have never heard any indication that it was a "hardware solution". Are you referring to Sytek's broadband network, which was a "hardware solution", but not, as far as I know, one that embedded all of NetBIOS within it. Guy Harris 02:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
