Apr 18, 2010 · Any idea why PrivateFirewall prevents incoming and outgoing connections from/to Netbios-dgm and Netbios-ns. From what I have read these are a netbios datagram and netbios name service respectively and are not dangerous. These are UDP(17) packets. Any clarification would be appreciated.
NetBIOS isn't a protocol, but an API for naming service, and only really used for SMB service enhancements anymore. While there's NetBIOS for TCP, you can actually have it work without an IP address at all. netbios-ns. Purpose: NetBIOS Name Service. Description: UDP NetBIOS name query packets are sent to this port, usually of Windows machines but also of any other system running Samba (SMB), to ask the receiving machine to disclose and return its current set of NetBIOS names. Related Ports: Is there a KB article somewhere that shows how to install and configure 'netbios-ns' (using port 137) on Windows XP? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. NetBIOS is a transport protocol that Microsoft Windows systems use to share resources. For example, if a PC running Windows wants to connect to and access a share on a file server, it probably uses A LLMNR & NBT-NS Spoofing Attack is a classic internal network attack that still works today, due to low awareness and the fact it’s enabled by default in Windows. This document explains what a LLMNR & NBT-NS attack is, how to use the attack during pen testing and how to secure networks against the vulnerability. Sep 07, 2017 · NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) NetBIOS is a service which allows communication between applications such as a printer or other computer in Ethernet or token ring network via NetBIOS name. NetBIOS name is 16 digits long character assign to a computer in the workgroup by WINS for name resolution of an IP address into NETBIOS name.

NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) is a program that allows applications on different computers to communicate within a local area network (LAN). It was created by IBM for its early PC Network, was adopted by Microsoft, and has since become a de facto industry standard. Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) and Netbios Name Service (NBT-NS) are two components of Microsoft Windows machines. LLLMNR was introduced in Windows Vista and is the successor to NBT-NS. They are both seemingly innocuous components which allow machines on the same subnet help each other identify hosts when DNS fails.
Re: HIPS Event blocking incoming netbios-ns (137) and netbios-dgm (138) I know that it is normal to see some of those entries in the logs but the fact that I have thousands is alarming. A lot of NETBIOS traffic logged (blocked or allowed) is common for a Windows system.
