smbmap: Enumerate hosts with NULL sessions enabled and open shares.

smbmap

$ smbmap --host-file ${filename}

try on your machine

The command "smbmap --host-file ${filename}" is used to enumerate and interact with SMB shares on a network. Here's a breakdown of the command:

"smbmap": This is the name of the command-line tool being used. It is commonly used in penetration testing and security assessments to discover and analyze SMB shares.
"--host-file ${filename}": This is an option in the smbmap command. By specifying "--host-file", you indicate that you want to provide a file containing a list of IP addresses or hostnames. The "${filename}" placeholder refers to the actual name of the file you want to use. Replace it with the appropriate filename, including the path if necessary.

So, to use this command, you need to create a file that contains a list of IP addresses or hostnames of machines running SMB services, with each address or hostname on a separate line. Then you replace "${filename}" with the actual name or path of your file when executing the command.

The smbmap tool will read the file, try to establish connections with each IP address or hostname, and retrieve information about available SMB shares on those machines.
