> A Python-based SMB client for interacting with SMB servers.
> More information: <https://github.com/fortra/impacket>.

- Connect to an SMB server with username and password:

`smbclient.py {{domain}}/{{username}}:{{password}}@{{target}}`

- Connect using NTLM hashes for authentication:

`smbclient.py -hashes {{LM_HASH}}:{{NT_HASH}} {{domain}}/{{username}}@{{target}}`

- Connect using Kerberos authentication:

`smbclient.py -k {{domain}}/{{username}}@{{target}}`

- Connect specifying a domain controller IP:

`smbclient.py -dc-ip {{domain_controller_ip}} {{domain}}/{{username}}:{{password}}@{{target}}`

- Connect to a specific target IP instead of NetBIOS name:

`smbclient.py -target-ip {{target_ip}} {{domain}}/{{username}}:{{password}}@{{target}}`

- Connect to a non-standard SMB port:

`smbclient.py -port {{port}} {{domain}}/{{username}}:{{password}}@{{target}}`

- Execute commands from an input file in the SMB shell:

`smbclient.py -inputfile {{path/to/input_file}} {{domain}}/{{username}}:{{password}}@{{target}}`

- Log SMB client commands to an output file:

`smbclient.py -outputfile {{path/to/output_file}} {{domain}}/{{username}}:{{password}}@{{target}}`
