Guest access to shares permits anonymous access and is not permitted.

Check content

Check the encryption setting the Samba configuration. # grep -i 'guest ok' /usr/lib/smb.conf If the setting exists and is set to yes, this is a finding.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
