Samba
An open-source software project that implements interoperability with Windows network file sharing on Unix/Linux systems by reverse-engineering the SMB protocol. It is widely regarded as a landmark achievement in the field of reverse engineering.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Samba reverse-engineered the protocol specification by capturing and analyzing actual SMB network packets, enabling interoperability with Windows network shares on Unix systems.
Projects such as Wine and Samba each required more than a decade of community collaboration to reach production-ready maturity.
Samba is an open-source software suite running in user space that implements the server-side functionality of the SMB/CIFS protocol.
Samba is a user-space open-source software suite that implements the server-side functionality of the SMB/CIFS protocol and was initiated by Andrew Tridgell and others in 1992.
