id = "SMB Security" description = [[ Returns information about the SMB security level determined by SMB. \n\n Here is how to interpret the output: \n\n User-level security: Each user has a separate username/password that is used to log into the system. This is the default setup of pretty much everything these days.\n Share-level security: The anonymous account should be used to log in, then the password is given (in plaintext) when a share is accessed. All users who have access to the share use this password. This was the original way of doing things, but isn't commonly seen, now. If a server uses share-level security, it is vulnerable to sniffing. \n\n Challenge/response passwords: If enabled, the server can accept any type of password:\n * Plaintext * LM and NTLM * LMv2 and NTLMv2 If it isn't set, the server can only accept plaintext passwords. Most servers are configured to use challenge/response these days. If a server is configured to accept plaintext passwords, it is vulnerable to sniffing. \n\n Message signing: If required, all messages between the client and server must sign be signed by a shared key, derived from the password and the server challenge. If supported and not required, message signing is negotiated between clients and servers and used if both support and request it. By default, Windows clients don't sign messages, so if message signing isn't required by the server, messages probably won't be signed; additionally, if performing a man-in-the-middle attack, an attacker can negotiate no message signing. If message signing isn't required, the server is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. \n\n See nselib/smb.lua for more information on the protocol itself.\n ]] --- --@usage -- nmap --script smb-security-mode.nse -p445 127.0.0.1\n -- sudo nmap -sU -sS --script smb-security-mode.nse -p U:137,T:139 127.0.0.1\n -- --@output -- | SMB Security: User-level authentication\n -- | SMB Security: Challenge/response passwords supported\n -- |_ SMB Security: Message signing supported\n -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- author = "Ron Bowes" license = "Same as Nmap--See http://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html" categories = {"discovery", "safe"} require 'smb' --- Check whether or not this script should be run. hostrule = function(host) local port = smb.get_port(host) if(port == nil) then return false else return true end end action = function(host) local status, socket = smb.start(host) if(status == false) then return "Error: " .. socket end status, result = smb.negotiate_protocol(socket) if(status == false) then smb.stop(socket) return "Error: " .. result end local security_mode = result['security_mode'] local response = "" -- User-level authentication or share-level authentication if(bit.band(security_mode, 1) == 1) then response = response ..
