solution for smb protocol vulnerability

Question

The problem is not programming. I'm using an old machine, and microsoft stopped patches for those machines. Does any one have a solution for the SMB protocol vulnerability that use port 445, which is known for attackers ? Any tricky solution ? In other words, I want to use the SMB and I cant change the machines becuse it is too expensive.

Answer 1

Get third-party SMB stack. MoSMB has one for sure and there are others to select from. Some support Windows, some are Linux only.

In general I'd reconsider what you're doing: lack of patches, EOSL & so on is a big red flag for having something in production. Unless absolutely necessary of course.

Answer 2

Then you should check if you are vulnerable with this tool from ESET :https://help.eset.com/eset_tools/ESETEternalBlueChecker.exe
