Integration Improvements
When viewing help on commands, you can see examples that will not work when running in Kali Linux. This is not due to the fact that the program does not work, but because of the peculiarities of the launch site, the way of installation.
Examples of starting SMBmap from the documentation:
Examples:
$ python smbmap.py -u jsmith -p password1 -d workgroup -H 192.168.0.1
$ python smbmap.py -u jsmith -p ‘aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:da76f2c4c96028b7a6111aef4a50a94d’ -H 172.16.0.20
$ python smbmap.py -u ‘apadmin’ -p ‘asdf1234!’ -d ACME -h 10.1.3.30 -x ‘net group “Domain Admins” /domain’
The lines begin with “python smbmap.py”, because the author meant that you cloned the program files to your disk, moved to the program directory and started it there.
In Kali Linux, where symbolic links are made to the program files, it would be correct to run this way:
Examples:
$ smbmap -u jsmith -p password1 -d workgroup -H 192.168.0.1
$ smbmap -u jsmith -p ‘aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:da76f2c4c96028b7a6111aef4a50a94d’ -H 172.16.0.20
$ smbmap -u ‘apadmin’ -p ‘asdf1234!’ -d ACME -h 10.1.3.30 -x ‘net group “Domain Admins” /domain’
