RFC's 1000 and 1001 describe the basic SMB protocol from the IBM/Microsoft
collaboration. A later version is called CIFS (common Internet File System) so search
on that acronym as well. Also look at the Samba source code (http://www.samba.org) for
some details of its implementation.
Symantec/Axent Raptor firewall has a CIPS/SMB proxy that can restrict usage.

Subject: Proxying NetBIOS & SMB
Hi!
I'm looking for a book/html/pdf/whatever that describes the inner
workings of NetBIOS/SMB. Things like mounting a drive, RPC, etc...
something that would explain the general concepts of SMB networking and
then, if possible, go into the dirty details of the actual messages.
I'm asking because I'm thinking that it would be quite good to
have a proxy based app that would allow to pass only some specific packets
through it (like mounting the drive & auth, but no RPC), and first I want
to understand how this works exactly.
OTOH, does anybody know if this application exist already?
Thanks!
