Common Internet File System (CIFS)

attacking_common_services

The Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol was developed by Microsoft for file sharing. It's built over the SMB protocol.

🐊️ Ports: 445 (TCP) (the only SMB port used by CIFS)

To mount a remote file system that supports the CIFS protocol:

$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //IP/share_name /mount/point
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //IP/"share name" /mount/point

You may have to install cifs-utils beforehand:

$ sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
