smbmap

Smbmap is a powerful command-line tool used for exploring and interacting with Windows and Samba network shares. It provides an easy way to gather information and perform various operations on these network shares.

With smbmap, you can discover available shares on a target system, revealing the accessible directories and files. It supports both anonymous and authenticated connections, allowing you to provide credentials for accessing restricted shares.

The tool provides clear and concise output, displaying relevant information such as share name, path, permissions, and whether it requires authentication. It also identifies which shares are writable, allowing you to upload or modify files if you have appropriate access.

Furthermore, smbmap can be used to recursively list files and directories within a share, making it efficient for reconnaissance purposes. It can also extract and download files from target shares, providing a convenient way to retrieve specific data of interest.

Additionally, smbmap supports various functionalities like executing commands within shares, connecting to specific IP addresses, and specifying custom domain names. It handles both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and is compatible with multiple versions of SMB (Server Message Block) protocol.

Smbmap is an open-source tool written in Python and is available on platforms like Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is actively maintained and regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of operating systems and network protocols. Moreover, it can be integrated into penetration testing and vulnerability assessment workflows for evaluating the security of network shares.
