other alternative to finger...

is there any other tool in Linux/unix to enumerate users on a remote systems than finger..........it does not seem to work on xp

thanks

Are you saying the target device is running Linux and you are running it off of xp? You can always use cygwin if thats the case...

Just phone up the user, tell them to disable the XP firewall, and give you the admin password...or domain admin password...depending on the environment

Finger, or anything similar, depends on a service running on the
target system. People rarely run the finger daemon any more
because the net isn't as friendly a place as it once was and
they don't want to tell you who is logged on. AFAIK, Windows
doesn't have a service like finger, so you'll have no luck.
:cool:

who the hell allows traffic on port 79?

I use nbtscan as part of an enumeration for a internal security assessment. Even Angry IP Scanner has similar functionality.
