smbmap: Display SMB shares and recursively list a defined number of levels of directories and files.
$ smbmap -u ${username} --prompt -H ${ip} -R --depth ${3}
try on your machine

This command utilizes the smbmap tool to conduct an SMB (Server Message Block) enumeration and mapping on a specified IP address (${ip}). Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:

  • smbmap: invokes the smbmap tool for SMB enumeration and mapping.
  • -u ${username}: specifies the username to authenticate with on the target SMB server. (${username} should be replaced with the actual username)
  • --prompt: prompts the user for the password to authenticate with on the target SMB server.
  • -H ${ip}: specifies the IP address or hostname of the target SMB server. (${ip} should be replaced with the actual IP address)
  • -R: enables the recursive (including subdirectories) listing of files and directories during enumeration.
  • --depth ${3}: sets the depth of recursive enumeration to the specified number (${3} should be replaced with the desired depth, e.g., 1, 2, etc.).

By running this command, smbmap will attempt to authenticate with the provided username and password (prompted via --prompt) on the target SMB server specified by ${ip}. It will then enumerate and map the files and directories up to the specified depth.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
