💅 NMBSCAN ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for the nmbscan command — aka the NMB/SMB network scanner. it lives in section 1 of the general commands manual. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nmbscan -L
nmbscan {-d|-m|-a}
nmbscan {-h|-n} host1 [host2 [...]]

like, that's the whole vibe check right there. either you're asking for the license, or you're asking for domain info, or you're pointing it at some hosts. pick your lane 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this manual page documents briefly the nmbscan command. brief. it said what it said ✨

nmbscan scans the shares of a SMB/NetBIOS network, using the NMB/SMB/NetBIOS protocols. it is useful for acquiring information on a local area network for such purposes as security auditing. yes, bestie, it's giving recon era 👑

it can obtain such information as:

• NMB/SMB/NetBIOS/Windows host name
• IP address
• IP host name
• Ethernet MAC address
• Windows user name
• NMB/SMB/NetBIOS/Windows domain name
• master browser

literally all of it. no cap.

and it can discover all the NMB/SMB/NetBIOS/Windows hosts on a local area network by using the hosts lists maintained by master browsers. the way that it just asks the master browser for the list?? main character energy fr fr 🌈
