It's all in my book. http://ubiqx/org/cifs/ SMB was created by IBM, but is now under Microsoft's control.

They have instead taken to implementing new features using Remote Proceedure Call (MS-RPC). You'll need Luke Leighton's book to figure that out. Basically, though, they simply add new DLLs and do function calls across the wire using SMB as a transport (RPC over SMB over NBT over TCP over IP). They don't publish documentation on the RPC calls either, so these need to be reverse-engineered as well. Not easy, since the range and type of the parameters is not known and may be difficult to figure out. > do they put it out there in open as what they are using and what not Open? Microsoft? They don't seem to like Open very much.
