Why this tool?
SMBMap allows scanning of file resources that are shared with the SMB protocol. The tool will list share drives, drive permissions, the share contents, upload/download functionality, file name auto-download pattern matching, and even execute remote commands. The tool was created for pentesters to simplify finding sensitive data, or at least test for it.
How it works
SMBMap uses the Impacket toolkit that is known for its network protocol support. In this case, it specifically uses the routines related to SMB (server message block).
Background information
To run this tool, you will need Impacket, PyASN.1, and PyCrypto.
Usage and audience
SMBMap is commonly used for data leak detection, information gathering, or penetration testing. Target users for this tool are pentesters.
