The Register reports: “An application called SMBRelay, written by cDc’s Sir Dystic, exploits a
design flaw in the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol on Win NT/2K
boxes, easily enabling an attacker to interpose himself between the client
and the server.

The program enables access to the server using the client’s
authentication by acting as a ‘man in the middle’ to both.”
