Presentation Script
Slide 1: Title Slide

Speaker: Good Evening, everyone. My name is___Tejas Ghiya____, and today we’ll be
presenting a project titled "File Sharing with Samba: Bridging Kali Linux and Windows." This
project focuses on leveraging Samba, which is an open-source tool, to enable seamless file
sharing between Linux and Windows systems. Over the next 10 minutes, I’ll walk you
through the setup process, highlighting its significance, and demonstrate how it works in real
time.

Moving on to the next slide

Slide 2: Understanding Samba

Speaker: Let’s start by understanding what Samba is. Samba is an open-source


implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol. SMB, or Server Message Block, is a protocol
commonly used for sharing files, printers, and other resources over a network.

What makes Samba special is that it enables Linux systems to communicate with Windows
systems, bridging the gap between two otherwise different operating systems. It’s not just for
file sharing; Samba can also manage printer sharing and even be integrated with Windows
Active Directory for more advanced setups.

Slide 3: Benefits of Using Samba

Speaker: Why use Samba? There are three primary benefits:

1. Versatility: Samba works in mixed operating system environments, making it perfect


for offices or labs using both Linux and Windows.
2. Simple Configuration: Despite its capabilities, Samba is relatively easy to configure
compared to other file-sharing solutions.
3. Security and Customizability: Samba offers fine-grained control over permissions
and access, ensuring shared resources remain secure while adapting to different use
cases.

These qualities make Samba a robust choice for this project.


Next slide over to you parth.

PARTH -
Hello everyone I am Parth and I will be explaining the setup and workflow for Samba.

Slide 4: Samba Setup Workflow

Speaker: Let’s now look at the overall workflow for setting up Samba:

1. Install Samba: First, we install the Samba service on the Kali Linux virtual machine.

Apt -get install samba -y

2. Next, we create and configure a folder on the Linux system to share with Windows.
3. Finally, we use Windows File Explorer to access the shared resources.

Each step is straightforward, and we’ll cover them in detail while presenting the demo.

Slide 5: Configuring Samba: The Basics

Speaker: The configuration of Samba centers around its main file: smb.conf. This file
defines:

● What resources are shared.


● Who can access them.
● How permissions are handled.

This file is an important part of the Samba setup, and ensuring it’s correctly configured is
critical for the system to work smoothly.

Slide 6: Setting Up the Shared Directory

Speaker: Now, let’s set up the directory that will be shared with the Windows system.
Create the Directory:

sudo mkdir -p /srv/shared


For this demo, we have already created the directory.

1. The -p flag ensures the directory structure is created and it doesn’t already exist.
Set Permissions: To make the directory accessible, we set the permissions as follows:

sudo chmod 777 /srv/shared

2. This grants full read, write, and execute permissions to all the users for testing
purposes.

3. Windows users may face access issues if these permissions aren't set correctly.

Slide 7: Editing Samba Configuration

Speaker: Next, we edit the Samba configuration file. We add a section for the shared folder:

[Shared]
path = /srv/shared
browsable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777

● The path specifies the directory we want to share.


● browsable makes the folder visible to network users.
● guest ok allows guest access without requiring authentication.
● create mask and directory mask ensure new files and folders inherit the
correct permissions.

Once the changes are made, save and exit the file.

Slide 8: Adding a Samba User

Speaker: For enhanced security, we can create a Samba-specific user. This is especially
useful if you want to restrict access to certain individuals.

To add a Samba user, run:

sudo smbpasswd -a your_username


You’ll be prompted to set a password for this user. This user will now have access to the
shared folder based on their permissions.

Slide 9: Testing and Applying Configuration

Speaker: After configuring Samba, it’s essential to test and verify that everything is working
as expected. Here are the steps:

Restart Samba: Restart the Samba service to apply the configuration changes:

sudo systemctl restart smbd

1.

Access the Shared Folder from Windows: On the Windows system, open File Explorer
and type the Kali Linux IP address in this format:

\\<Kali_IP_Address>
For example:

\\192.168.1.10

2.
3. Verify File Access: Once connected, you should see the shared folder. Test by
creating, editing, or deleting files to confirm that the permissions are working
correctly.

Slide 10: Troubleshooting Common Issues

Speaker: Troubleshooting is a key part of setting up Samba. Here are some common issues
and solutions:

1. Network Connectivity: Ensure both systems are on the same network and can ping
each other.

Firewall Rules: Check that your firewall isn’t blocking SMB traffic. On Linux, you can allow
Samba through the firewall with:

sudo ufw allow samba

2.
Permissions: Incorrect permissions on the shared folder can prevent access. Double-check
using:

ls -ld /srv/shared

3.
4. Configuration Errors: Inspect the Samba logs located at /var/log/samba/ for
clues.

Demonstration

Speaker: Now, let’s move on to the demonstration. I’ll show you how we access the shared
folder from a Windows system:

1. Step 1: Connecting to the Shared Folder: I’ll open File Explorer and enter the Kali
Linux IP address. As you can see, the shared folder appears.

2. Step 2: Testing File Operations: I’ll create a file in the folder to show that write
permissions are correctly applied. Similarly, I’ll edit and delete files to demonstrate full
access.

3. Step 3: Authentication: If authentication is enabled, I’ll log in using the Samba


username and password created earlier.

This demonstration highlights how Samba enables seamless interaction between Linux and
Windows systems.

Slide 11: Conclusion

Speaker: To conclude, Samba is a powerful tool for enabling cross-platform file sharing. This
project showcased how to configure Samba on a Kali Linux machine, share resources, and
troubleshoot common issues. The ability to bridge Linux and Windows systems is invaluable
in environments with mixed operating systems.
