Winfingerprint ChangeLog:
-------------------
Known Problems:
1. Winfingerprint DOES NOT run on Windows 9x most of the APIs used in winfingerprint
are not available in Windows 9x.
2. If winfingerprint encounters a samba server it will of course fail on things like registry connections.
NetGroupEnum() doesnt work on Windows9x
NetServerGetInfo() NT & 9x -- winfingerprinting code
-------------------
Winfingerprint 2.28
9/11/2000
Changed over to getopt_long. This makes it easier for us to add features.
Fixed a bug in winfingerprint() that caused wrong number of logged on users to be printed.
Fixed contributor email addresses.
Made Network Addresses print in a more human readable format.
Minor code cleanups.
Winfingerprint 2.27 (1 year anniversary edition)
08/15/2000
vacuum@technotronic.com
Added some missing HTML information and fixed a very old
and overlooked bug in menu.html.
Added Session Enumeration.
Windows 9x machines will now enumerate Date & Time too.
----
Fixed Display bug in Domain and Lan Root reported by
Egemen Tas (egement@karde.com.tr)
Instead of changing
fprintf("blah %s\n); to fprintf("blah %S\n);
like Egemen suggested, I changed to fwprintf(L"blah %s\n");
just to be difficult ;)
Winfingerprint 2.26
08/03/2000
vacuum@technotronic.com
Winfingerprint now obtains Date and Time from target computer.
Winfingerprint now enumerates Transports from target computer.
Updated Usage to reflect changes, running out of sensible options so:
-a Enumerates NetBIOS Shares, Users, Groups, Transports, Date & Time, and Services
-s Enumerates Services, Transports, Date & Time
Winfingerprint 2.25
06/16/2000
Changed 1999 references to 1999-2000. Corrected some grammatical errors.
Now automatically opens html in default browser.
Winfingerprint 2.24
03/21/2000
vacuum@technotronic.com
added #pragma comment(lib, "****")'s so people who don't read the comments will be able
to get winfingerprint to compile :)
I have to search through my email to give proper credit for this patch.
winfingerprint has ALWAYS improperly identified Windows 9x machines as Windows for
Workgroups. FIXED!
HTML Updates. Cleaned up frames, added background color to differentiate different machine names. Added sharename to share enumerations for easy browsing. (Very neat)
Winfingerprint 2.23
01/06/2000
vacuum@technotronic.com
Error messages are now only reported to stderr and are not placed in the html (much cleaner
output). Finally implemented Global FILE descriptors. Cleaned up all the functions to just pass
the computername instead of computername and file stream.
Now -t \\computername will also create frame.html and menu.html. They aren't really
needed, but consistency is nice. From now on, you can always open frame.html
Mike / Vacuum
Cleanups:
Removed NOTE: If no server is supplied (e.g., No '-t') localhost is used.
from Usage as this hasn't been true for quite some time. Removed iostream.h header (didn't use it). Removed lots of DEBUG that was put in to test things, I dont know why anyone would
turn this on besides a developer.
Winfingerprint 2.22
01/01/2000
vacuum@technotronic.com
Many html output enhancements.
continuing through all of winfingerprint's options.
A frame.html is also now created by getnetwork() when -m is used. This is of course a framed
html output that uses your -o filename.html as well as menu.html (for the menu). I have some
logic bugs to work out I am sure, but I have been awake about 30 hours straight now.
Winfingerprint 218
Fixed a problem reported by :
On line 749 in the main winfingerprint app there is a bug. The line was:
else printf("Registry Connected [%S]\n", szServer +2);
and it should be:
else printf("Registry Connected [%d]\n", szServer +2);
Also the debut of Jason's GUI frontend. We are still trading ideas back and forth, but I am letting everyone else check it out too.
Jason Updated the GUI that did not coincide with a winfingerprint release. Added Launch button that would launch your web browser with winfingerprint results in it. Nice!
Winfingerprint 219 -- Current Stable Release --
neil lehrer [nlehrer@ibb.gov] reported a problem when winfingerprint was run only with the -r switch. Fixed by adding error handling that forces either a -t \\COMPUTERNAME or a -m.
updated the GUI, it now is able to accept input in the
computer name box. The executable path is also persistent now. So once you
enter the executable path once, it will remember that path the next time you
execute it.
[sfaust@hartco.com] created a French port of winfingerprint-218.
Winfingerprint 217
Jason pointed out the error addressed in 216 and also submitted a patch to the 216 release.
Pending his acceptance, Jason will also be doing the GUI frontend.
:
I included for using wstring(the STL wide string container)
I added using namespace std so I wouldn't have to use std:: everywhere
I appended .begin() to all ErrorHandle() calls. This returns a point to the
start of the string.
In the ErrorHandle function I copied the message buffer to the wstring, free
the message buffer, and return the wstring.
Winfingerprint 216 -- Current Stable Release --
Jason_Jordan@omron.com reported a bug where one of the GetLastError() calls wasnt set to a DWORD causing an exception error.
10/8/99 Mike changed all errors to return(-1); and impelmented a universal ErrorHandle() function.
Winfingerprint 215
10/3/99 Mike- fixed numerous errors in diskenum95() that Vacuum added in 212. Since it didnt work this code was absent in 213 and 214.
10/3/99 Vacuum - Added Fix Description to HOTFIXES!
Winfingerprint 214
10/3/99 Vacuum - Added internal NullDisconnect() function that uses WNetCancelConnection2()
to disconnect your NULL IPC$ session after all other command line options are complete. All previous versions of winfingerprint did not disconnect your ipc$ sessions.
Winfingerprint 213
10/2/99 Vacuum & Mike - Fixed error checking within getnetwork() function. Converted all functions to return(0) on success and return(1) on failure. Bugfixes, NEW HTML layout.
Added switch(ret) feature. Removed diskenum95() function. Looks like we will have to use Wnetenumresource().
Winfingerprint 212
10/1/99 Vacuum - New diskenum() logic. In the past, winfingerprint's NetShareEnum()
ran at 'level 502' which required Admin or comm, print, or server operator group membership
to successfully complete. Now, upon failure we return(3); and proceed to execute diskenum95() which runs at 'level 1' . While it doesn't return as much information (no administrative$ shares), does NOT require any special access.
Fixed error where last applied hotfix was shown TWO times in HTML (reported by darlok@hotmail.com).
Winfingerprint 211
09/30/99 Vacuum - darlok@hotmail.com was the first to report RegQueryEx() error 1734
when using the -r RegConnection() function. Shame on me for only testing against localhost.
Fixed by properly allocating the size of dwBufLen. As a bonus, I now use FORMATMESSAGE to
provide more friendly error messages for this function.
Winfingerprint 210
09/28/99 Vacuum - Forgot to add RegCloseKey()
Updated getopt() options 'a' and default to include Null Sessions & Registry Querying
09/29/99 Vacuum - Added hotfix [QXXXXXX] style enumeration. Minor HTML output cleanup.
You will have to lookup these Q numbers yourself for now. RegEnumKeyEx() copies only
the name of the subkey, not the full key hierarchy, to the buffer. Someday I will
RegQueryValueEx() the Fix Description.
Winfingerprint 209
09/27/99 Vacuum - Added Registry Querying Function
Currently queries the service pack level.
I will add hotfix enumeration in a day or two.
Winfingerprint 208
09/22/99 Mike - cleaned up some of NullSession() code
09/23/99 Vacuum - Totally rewrote getnetwork function. Old version worked,
this new version handles errors more elegantly.
Rewrote parts of diskenum() function.
Winfingerprint 207
09/21/99 Vacuum - Added -n option NullSession()
which establishes a NULL session using wnetaddconnection2().
Winfingerprint 206
Mike & Vacuum CHANGELOG:
Fixed many stability/logic issues within getopt(). Better error handling
and User Friendly Error messages.
Winfingerprint 205
Officially added Mike to the developer list.
08/23/99
Mike's CHANGELOG:
Well I first functionized the 'WinFingerPrinting' part and then added an option
to allow you to scan your entire Network NeighborHood. NOTE: When you do -m -s -u, it does
that scan for ALL machines in the network. Also added the 'Comment' field to
the server information output and as always added stuff for aesthetics.
Look for an update soon with the portscanning of a target as an option.
Added #ifdef DEBUG
Vacuum's ChangeLog
Changed Error output so that if an error was encountered winfingerprint did not exit()
Changed Error messages to FormatMessage() against LastError() for 'User Friendly' Error messages.
Winfingerprint 204
08/21/1999
Mike's CHANGELOG:
OK, first I added custom coded 'getopt()'. Fear. You can use -option or /option.
I did a lot of aesthetic stuff. Like switching \n's to html breaks.
I also set it so that if no putput is specified (-o) it will default to winfingerprint.html.
Added DisplayUsage().
Winfingerprint 2.20
sfaust@hartco.com supplied a huge patch to the getnetwork() code. Sacha and I have been exchanging code and
talking back and forth about being able to scan more than just your "Network Neighborhood" This version should
be considered a critical upgrade to anyone with a large NT domain model or an administrator who manages multiple domains.
Winfingerprint 2.21
12/23/1999
vacuum@technotronic:
sfaust@hartco.com introduced a minor bug in the options parsing
that would cause winfingerprint to crash if you did not specify -m or -t. Fixed.
Winfingerprint 203
08/20/1999
Vacuum's CHANGELOG:
Added Service Enumeration. Check to see what services are running on remote machine (very detailed)
Winfingerprint 202
08/19/1999
Vacuum's CHANGELOG:
Changed the hardcoded 'winfingerprint.html' file to a userdefineable output name.
Corrected a HTML output bug found by interrrupt.
Winfingerprint 201
Vacuum's CHANGELOG:
Added HTML Output
Improved Error Handling
Added the following information to NetServerEnum()
Platform:
Name:
Version:
Type:
Winfingerprint 2 beta 2
Vacuum's CHANGELOG:
Added User and Group Enumeration.
08/18/1999
Winfingerprint 2 beta 1
Vacuum's CHANGELOG:
Initial release
OS Detection and NetBIOS Share Enumeration.
Winfingerprint 1 (no longer developed)
Winfingerprint 1 was written in the Windows Interface Language and was slow and bulky. It had an ugly
interface and also contained a connect() based portscanner which was also very slow.
