Platforms: Linux · Last verified September 6, 2026
Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems. Samba can also function as an Active Directory or NT4-style domain controller, and can integrate with Active Directory realms or NT4 domains as a member server.
Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.
