SMB Share Enumeration

Created
05/30/2018

Description

This module determines what shares are provided by the SMB service and which ones are readable/writable. It also collects additional information such as share types, directories, files, time stamps, etc. By default, a RubySMB net_share_enum_all request is done in order to retrieve share information, which uses SRVSVC.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_enumshares
msf auxiliary(smb_enumshares) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(smb_enumshares) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(smb_enumshares) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(smb_enumshares) > run 

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
