Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 227 discussion

smbget command starts with a front slash and not a back slash smbget smb://ip address/sharename D - smbclient command starts with a backslash smbclient -L \\ip address\sharename

Recently did a different pentest exam, and one of the commands I ran was basically D, however I usually put -N after SMB client "smbclient -N //x.x.x.x/<share_name>", can remove -N and use -U to provide a credential to access the share.

I think is D, because with smbget you need to specify the file to download and with smbclient you will be able to connect and list the files.

I'm going with D because the server allows login with blank username and "password". smbclient will open an interactive SMB client session. smbget will allow files to be downloaded, but not as useful. net rpc share will list shares on the server.

D. The attacker already know that he can login with null credentials and know the "web" share. So he should attempt no connect using the command "smbclient //192.168.100.56/web -U '' -N"

The correct answer is option D, if you try option C without the "-r" parameter you will received the following error "NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND opening remote file"

D is the answer right

D is the answer A vulnerability scan is a type of assessment that helps to identify vulnerabilities in a network or system. Itscans systems for potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated software. Based on the output from a vulnerability scan, a penetration tester can identify vulnerabilities that may be exploited to gain access to a system. In this scenario, the output from the penetration testing tool shows that 100 hosts contained findings due to improper patch management. This indicates that the vulnerability scan detected vulnerabilities that could have been prevented through proper patch management. Therefore, the most likely test performed by the penetration tester is a vulnerability scan.

I dont know C or D? is correct answer

smbclient //192.168.100.56/web -U '' -N The smbclient //192.168.100.56/web -U '' -N command is used to access an SMB network share, such as a webserver. The -U option specifies the username which will be used to authenticate with the server, and in this example, it is set to a blank string. The -N option bypasses any authentication prompts so that the command will execute without prompting for authentication credentials. This command can be used by a penetration tester to collect data from a target system, such as webpages, documents, or scripts. smbget //192.168.100.56/web -U The smbget //192.168.100.56/web -U option specifies the username which will be used to authenticate with the server. This command can be used by a penetration tester to collect data from a target system, such as webpages, documents, or scripts. To execute this command, you must provide a valid username in place of the -U option. If this is not done, the command will not execute and an error will be returned.

This command would allow the penetration tester to retrieve files from the 'web' share, which was successfully mapped and listed during the previous step. smbget is a utility that can be used to download files from SMB/CIFS servers, and it can be used to retrieve files from a remote share. Option A attempts to print to the 'print$' share, which was denied. Option B would simply list the available shares on the target host, which the penetration tester has already done. Option D would allow the penetration tester to interact with the 'web' share as if it were a remote filesystem, but it is not necessary to do so at this point, as the goal is simply to gather more information about the share.
