PySamba is a Python library that provides a full wrapper for the Samba CLI library provided with samba-3.0.24.

PySamba is a full wrapper based in the work of Tim Potter. In fact, PySamba is built as a Python C extension over the cli library provided with samba-3.0.24 and a Python module that hides the complexity of the lower layer (smb) providing high-level commands like Mkdir or DiskAvail. At now, PySamba provides a fully functional samba wrapper, allowing the developer to interface any samba-capable device much like python’s ftplib does.

PySamba has been written by Juan M. Casillas and released under GNU GPL public License.

You need a gcc compiler, a python running environment (tested with 2.4.3) and the samba-3.0.24 sources. PySamba Has been developed under an UNIX environment (HP-UX) and tested against native NT shares.

Simple & Easy

from pysamba import * ... and go. Server login is encapsulated in the constructor, so just provide the require parameters, and start working with your favorite smb share. PySamba is easy to use, and easy to install.

Installation:

See the INSTALL file, but the installation process is the following:

Get Samba-3.0.24 and uncompress it.

copy py_smb.c and py_smb.h into samba-3.0.24/source/python replacing the existing files

go to samba-3.0.24/source and issue a configure --with-python=python. Then make , make install, make python_ext, make install This will install python’s dynamic library.

Import pysamba from the directory where pysamba is, or copy it to any place under the PYTHONPATH

KSambaPlugin is a KDE 3 plugin for configuring a SAMBA server. It consists of two plugins, a KControl Center module for all SAMBA options and a Konqueror properties dialog plugin
for quickly configuring the SAMBA share options of a directory.

It is meant to be a full SAMBA configuration tool (Since v0.3a).

KSambaPlugin is an official part of KDE since KDE 3.3. It is included in the kdenetwork package, and there will be no separate releases anymore.

Samba Commander is a text mode SMB network commander. In SMBC, you can browse the local network or you can use the search function to find the files.
You can also download/upload files and directories or create them both locally and remotely. SMBC has a resume function and supports UTF-8 characters.
Enhancements:
- fixed bug in function to retrying connection
- fixed bug in bookmark menu
- fixed bug in function to set username, password and workgroup

GSAMBAD is a frontend for the Samba file and print server. GSAMBAD project features multiple local and remote user and group imports, on the fly share creation, and user handling, including randomization of usernames and passwords.

smbfax is a Unix server which allows you to print via Samba from a Windows client to a hylafax-controlled faxmodem on your server without any additional Win32 software for the client.
Its as easy as File->Print from an application, choose the network fax printer, then check your emails INBOX. You can also view and delete jobs via the standard Windows methods.
Main features:
- Allows users to "print" a document to a network printer. The Samba server then sends the document to smbfax, which prepares it and sends an e-mail to the owner inviting her to complete the fax via a web interface. The user then clicks on the provided link, fills in the fax information (recipient, comment, coverpage options, etc.) and clicks on the "send" button.
- Allows users to manage the send (outgoing) fax queue using the standard Windows method of managing print jobs (you can even select your own jobs and kill them with the delete key)
- You *dont* need to install any client software at all; no need to upgrade WINSOCK.DLL to the latest version or have some systray app running to intercept print jobs. You dont have to use any special drag-and-drop software or e-mail/web gateways with confusing attachments.
- Weve been running it for a (little) while here without any problems, it works just great;
- Its as easy as Print => Check Email
System requirements:
- Hylafax
- Perl 5.004 or better (Plus some modules)
- Apache or any other CGI-BIN webserver
- Samba
- A good POSIX system (tested under linux-2.2.16)

SMBGate provides a gateway and firewall with authentication managed by a Samba Primary Domain Controller. The firewall rules are set on a per-user basis.

SLAD is a tool for performing local security checks against GNU/Linux systems.

SLAD has been primarily developed for the BOSS project to work together with Nessus to enhance its local scanning capabilities. For example, scanning for weak passwords with a tool like John-the-Ripper is something that simply cannot be achieved by a network scan.

Therefore, SLAD is required to be installed on every GNU/Linux system where local auditing needs to be done. SLAD can then be used as a stand-alone application or more conveniently through Nessus. For usage with Nessus two NASL plugins are provided for interfacing between Nessus and SLAD

The Version 2.0 provides a XML Interface for Parameters and easy integration of additional audit-parameters and tools. To help the administrator to integrate a new feature-set, a development-documentation is provided with the cvs.

SLAD has been tested and verified on the following platforms:

RedHat Fedora Core 3
SuSe 9.2
Debian 3.0 (woody)
Debian 3.1 (sarge)
ERPOSS3
Gentoo Linux 2004.3

SLAD is implemented in Perl and provides an extendable plugin architecture allowing to use various GPL-based security scanners and auditing tools under one common framework. Currently, SLAD comes packaged with

John-the-Ripper
Chkrootkit
LSOF
ClamAV
Tripwire
TIGER

As a result SLAD delivers reports of these locally installed auditing and analysis tools. When used with Nessus the individual reports are wrapped into a standard Nessus report.

SLAD as well as the SLAD NASL Plugins can be downloaded from this Website in their current stable release V2.0.

Installation:

You can use our "easy-to-use" GTK installer, this installer downloads the lastest SLAD Release Binary, and install it on the target system. You only need to provide the login for the traget system.
