Use a packet sniffer or disassemble the nwcalls.dll or other libraries
supplied by Novell.

This is even more secret than the packet burst/signing part of
the protocol. Making full use of NDS, repairing errors and evaluating
security requires more in-depth knowledge than Novell is willing
to give us. Many admins do not even know all aspects of Netware 3.x.
This are reasons to do not bother with Netware 4.

Many people are interested in this. Including me. Most likely you wont
get any useful answer. Another interesting but unansered question
is the length of the RSA public keys uses for servers and users.
Claiming that all is sufficiently secure and C2-approved says nothing.
At least nothing proveable.
