SMB

• SMB

  • What SMB Is

    • SMB is primarily used for:
      • File sharing (network drives like \\server\share)
      • Printer sharing
      • Remote administration
      • IPC
    • It typically runs over:
      • TCP/445 (modern SMB)
      • TCP/139 (older NetBIOS-based SMB)
    • The protocol is heavily used in Windows Active Directory environments, though Linux and macOS support it through Samba.
