How can you enumerate SMB shares using an NSE script, and what is the script name?

• A. smb-enum-users
• B. smb-enum-shares
• C. smb-share-list
• D. smb-share-enum

Answer: (B)

When you want to discover what SMB shares a target offers, you use the NSE script that is built specifically for listing shares. The script designed for this task is smb-enum-shares, and its name matches exactly what you’re trying to find. You would run it with Nmap, for example: nmap -p 445 --script smb-enum-shares . The script connects to the SMB service and enumerates the available shares, showing each share’s name, type (like disk, IPC, or printer), and any accessible comments. Its output helps you understand which shares are present and potentially which are misconfigured or misused.

Other candidate names either refer to different SMB enumeration functions (like listing users) or aren’t the standard NSE script used for share enumeration, so they don’t fit the goal as precisely as smb-enum-shares. The key point is that smb-enum-shares is the exact script dedicated to enumerating SMB shares.
