smbmap: Connect to an ip or hostname through smb using a username and password.
$ smbmap -u ${username} -p ${password} -d ${domain} -H ${ip_or_hostname}
try on your machine

This command uses the smbmap tool to perform a security assessment or enumeration of an SMB (Server Message Block) network share. Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • smbmap: It is the command used to execute the smbmap tool.
  • -u ${username}: Specifies the username to authenticate with on the target SMB server. The ${username} should be replaced with the actual username.
  • -p ${password}: Sets the password to authenticate with on the target SMB server. ${password} should be replaced with the actual password.
  • -d ${domain}: Sets the domain or workgroup name to authenticate with on the target SMB server. ${domain} should be replaced with the actual domain or workgroup name.
  • -H ${ip_or_hostname}: Specifies the IP address or hostname of the target SMB server. ${ip_or_hostname} should be replaced with the actual IP address or hostname.

Together, this command is used to authenticate with an SMB server using the provided credentials (username, password, domain), and then it performs enumeration or discovery tasks on the specified server (ip_or_hostname).

Note: The actual command may differ depending on the system and how the smbmap tool is installed and used.
