Folks,

I would like to gather any information on (Novell) IPX vulnerabilities.   
 I
want to identify possible ways an individual can infiltrate (hack) into a
network, it is common knowledge concerning attacks on IP networks.
(spoofing and collecting information through to process of using a   
passive
listening deviceS and fragmentation attacks etc.).  What about IPX?

 --------------

I don't really think spoofing in that sense is a relevent attack because   
all Netware connections are authenticated through RSA public/private key.

The only hole in this to my knowledge is that only the client is   
authenticated, the server is not. So, certainly for bindery mode   
connections you could impersonate a Netware server by doing something as   
simple as turning on SAP in Win95 and running a hacked LOGIN.EXE that   
caches usernames and passwords and redirects them to a real Netware   
server.

I don't know how you'd override the SAP of an existing server, but if the   
preferred server is not set then the Netware clients will look for the   
nearest server (which could be your Win95 box).
