'Identifies and exploits SMB protocol vulnerabilities using Metasploit

When to use

• Testing Windows systems for critical SMB vulnerabilities (EternalBlue, EternalRomance, PrintNightmare) during authorized penetration tests
• Demonstrating lateral movement risks via SMB relay, pass-the-hash, and credential spraying
• Validating that patch management processes have addressed known SMB vulnerabilities
• Assessing SMB signing enforcement and share permission configurations across the domain
• Testing network segmentation by attempting SMB exploitation across VLAN boundaries

When not to use

• Systems without explicit written authorization
• Production domain controllers without a maintenance window
• Deploying persistent backdoors beyond assessment scope
