liBDSM

A small project of SMB protocol client implementation in C, with a lot less features than Samba but also a more permissive license (WTFL/MIT). The initial goal of this project is to have a lib with an iOS compatible license to be intgrated into VLC for iOS.

The lib is provided as a static library or as a dynamically linked library. A few useless (yet) utils are also provided.

Building

Requirements

• A Unix system with a bash-shell (i guess)
• C99 C compiler
• (GNU) Make
• Autotools
• libc with iconv
• getopt_long
• GNU asn1 compiler/support library

The build dependencies can be installed on Debian(-based) systems using

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf gettext libtool pkg-config libtasn1-3-dev libtasn1-3-bin libbsd-dev

HowTo

$> ./bootstrap
$> ./configure --prefix=/your/ass
$> make
$> make install # maybe

Goals

Here's a list of supported features:

• NETBIOS
  • Basic bi-directionnal NETBIOS name resolutio
  • Hacky LAN SMB servers discovery (Listing all the smb servers on the LAN, no WINS, etc.)
  • Basic NETBIOS Session transport layer
• SMB
  • Support only required parts of 'NT LM 0.12' (aka CIFS?) dialect.
  • User based authentication
  • List Shares
  • Browse folders
  • Read file
  • No write, lock, RPCs, etc. [Hum... yet]

liBDSM has been tested/reported to work witht the following devices/OSes:

• Windows 7
• Windows 8
• A cheap NAS whose name i can't remember :)
• Guest Login on French Orange 'Livebox' (more testing is welcome as i don't have the box password)
