Yeah. I once though I would have a look at what it would mean to just send a single file over SMB. What better way than to just reverse engineer the little bits of communication between a client and a server?

The simplest solution would have been to give up the instant I started reading the catched traffic. I gave up after about 40 minutes of trying to figure out where to start.

As someone who fell into the category of:

Just curious if you could elaborate on this one specifically and why you found it especially interesting.

SMB is... not very straightforward. I needed to reverse engineer it once to write an exploit, and it's difficult to properly formulate even basic requests, let alone the more complex stuff the protocol supports.
