Oh this brings back memories. I remember before NAT routers became a common thing for home broadband connections and when most households only had one PC - my local DSL provider was assigning IP addresses from one block of IPs in an area. So browsing through other people’s shared directories on windows NT or 98 machines was trivial. So many people had open shares. Including sending out NET SEND messages.
