SambaHunter

It is a simple script to exploit RCE for Samba (CVE-2017-7494).

Now works with Python3. Many of the required Python2 libraries are deprecated (e.g. commands)

Added logging to show which shares are writeable. If 'Exploit Finished' appears but no shares are writeable, the exploit didn't work.

Requirements

  • sudo apt-get install smbclient
  • pip install pysmbclient

Usage

root@kitploit:~
# python3 sambahunter.py -h
