SO-CON 2025 is a premier cybersecurity summit that offers talks, trainings, and networking events focused on identity-based security and Attack Paths. NetSPI VP of Research, Scott Sutherland gave a presentation at SO-CON 2025 about SMB shares in Active Directory environments.
Hunting SMB Shares with Data, Graphs, Charts, LLMs
Every hacker has a story about abusing SMB shares, but it’s an attack surface that cybersecurity teams still struggle to understand, manage, and defend. This presentation covers simple but effective data analysis techniques to identify, understand, attack, and remediate SMB shares in Active Directory environments. The session includes demos showcasing how these techniques can be applied using PowerShell, Neo4j, Cytoscape, and PowerHuntShares.
