All Access NetBIOS share

This indicates that a NetBIOS share has been found which allows anyone with permission to access the computer full access to the share. These shares can be found on Windows NT. It is not uncommon to find shares with all access enabled, since this is the default when the share is created. It is best to explicitly set the access control list on shares. Under certain versions of Windows NT, an attacker can use shares to cause the machine to crash.

Risk: High

OS Vulnerable: Windows 95, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2, and UNIX with Samba

Fix: Remove the share, or enable some form of access control.
