nbtscan-unixwiz
Scanner for open NETBIOS nameservers
Platforms: Linux · Last verified September 6, 2026
This package contains a command-line tool that scans for open NETBIOS nameservers on a local or remote TCP/IP network, and this is a first step in finding of open shares. It is based on the functionality of the standard Windows tool nbtstat, but it operates on a range of addresses instead of just one.
Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.
Getting started
Install on Kali Linux with `sudo apt install nbtscan-unixwiz`. See the official Kali tool page and upstream homepage linked above for full usage and configuration details.
