Impacket: read a file from an SMB share
Read a file from an SMB share.
1. Run the example
Download the Impacket example. Extract it, install httpx, set your API URL and token, then run python client.py. The client uploads the included inputs, submits the command, and saves the result under results/RUN_ID.
2. Check the result
Read download.txt for the marker fetched from the isolated authenticated share.
Read the native exit code and cleanup status printed by the client. Read results and save reports explains the returned files.
3. Use your own inputs
Edit example.json to change the command arguments, requested outputs or deadline. Replace the files under inputs/ with your own data, keeping the staged paths aligned with the command. The client creates the artifact IDs for you; illustrative IDs shown here must not be copied into a live request.

This example selects the isolated smb-fixture target. To use a reachable target of your own, change the target arguments or driver and remove target_profile. See Run a check against a target for network setup.
