lib Defective SMb (libDSM) is a SMB protocol client implementation in pure C, with a lot less features than Samba and also a more permissive license (currently LGPL). The initial goal of this project is to have a lib with an iOS/Android compatible license to be intgrated into VLC for iOS and VLC for Android.

The lib is provided as a static library or as a dynamically linked library. A few useless (yet) utils are also provided.

• A Unix system with a bash-shell (i guess)
• C99 C compiler
• (GNU) Make
• Autotools
• libc with iconv
• getopt_long
• GNU tasn1 compiler/support library

The build dependencies can be installed on Debian(-based) systems using

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config libtasn1-3-dev libtasn1-3-bin libbsd-dev

$> ./bootstrap
$> ./configure --prefix=/your/ass
$> make
$> make install # maybe

Here's a list of supported features:

• NETBIOS
  • Basic bi-directionnal NETBIOS name resolutio
  • Hacky LAN SMB servers discovery (Listing all the smb servers on the LAN, no WINS, etc.)
  • Basic NETBIOS Session transport layer
• SMB
  • Support only required parts of 'NT LM 0.12' (aka CIFS?) dialect.
  • User based authentication
  • List Shares
  • Browse folders
  • Read file
  • No write, lock, RPCs, etc. [Hum... yet]

liBDSM has been tested/reported to work witht the following devices/OSes:

• Windows 7
• Windows 8
• A cheap NAS whose name i can't remember :)
• Samba
• smbX (OSX new smb implementation)

Feel free to contribute items to this list (or network trace of not working devices)

• HEAVILY refactor. Any help is welcome.
