Attempts to list shares using the srvsvc.NetShareEnumAll
MSRPC function and retrieve more information about them using srvsvc.NetShareGetInfo
. If access to those functions is denied, a list of common share names are checked.
Finding open shares is useful to a penetration tester because there may be private files shared, or, if it's writable, it could be a good place to drop a Trojan or to infect a file that's already there. Knowing where the share is could make those kinds of tests more useful, except that determining where the share is requires administrative privileges already.
Running NetShareEnumAll
will work anonymously against Windows 2000, and requires a user-level account on any other Windows version. Calling NetShareGetInfo
requires an administrator account on all versions of Windows up to 2003, as well as Windows Vista and Windows 7, if UAC is turned down.
Even if NetShareEnumAll
is restricted, attempting to connect to a share will always reveal its existence. So, if NetShareEnumAll
fails, a pre-generated list of shares, based on a large test network, are used. If any of those succeed, they are recorded.
After a list of shares is found, the script attempts to connect to each of them anonymously, which divides them into "anonymous", for shares that the NULL user can connect to, or "restricted", for shares that require a user account.
