Is SMB 1.0 more vulnerable at the client level or server level
-
On Windows 10 you can enable SMB1.0 Server or Client. Does enabling just the client side make the Windows 10 system vulnerable? What I am trying to figure out is if I have a special machine running XP and need to pull data from a share on it, can I enable SMB 1.0 client on a Windows 10 machine, connect a crossover cable and have the 10 machine pull data from the XP share safely? The 10 machine would then move the copied data onto the primary server running Windows Server 2016.
If this is a horrible idea are there any suggestions to make this a secure setup other than replacing the XP machine.
Thanks

Literally any modern linux desktop or server.

Why in God's green earth would you deploy XP today? Or would you continue to operate Windows XP?

Why would linux make a difference in this situation? Wouldn't SMB1.0 be the same no matter the client?

The system it runs has an $80,000 camera on it

This would mean that it is free to reach out to SMB 1 shares. If you never reach out, it has no effect.

If you are only on a Crossover cable, you can do anything safely as your network is not exposed.

An XP machine offline is safer than a Windows 10 box online. Annoying, not secure.

The Windows 10 machine has dual nics. One connected to the network and the other via crossover to the XP.

Current, the flaws with SMB 1 are with the spec, not the implementation.

Are you implying that you can't update Windows XP because the $80,000 camera is not supported and was designed to age out that quickly?

Then there are risks, but SMB 1 isn't it, since anything that compromised the system would compromised SMB 3 just as quickly in that scenario.

No, because at least a Linux workstation would be up to date if it was hosting the SMB 1.0 share. Using XP as a server is also against the ToS and EULA, and is so out of date that even considering leaving it around is a major issue.

Interested to know the model of the camera, but i think what you might want to do is Windows 2008 R2 with latest patches, i cant think of scenario that Windows 7/2008R2 wont run an XP program.
And the above has good security updates till 2018 and i think 2008 R2 is still supported ? right ?
But yeah ditch the XP man, it seems you got used to having it around.

An $80,000 camera would likely be a laser scanner for sheet metal accuracy.
I used to have one of these units that I had to maintain, but it didn't have internet access, the output was directly written to an external USB and the reports were pull from that and saved to the network.

Also this seems insane that the customer has an $80,000 camera, but can't or won't purchase an updated system to run it.

The camera defaults it's images to a folder on the local drive. That folder is shared. You cannot change the default location.

Sadly, there are many.

This sounds like scientific/educational equipment. Most likely that vendor either doesn't exist anymore or the system update is to just buy another 80,000$ camera.

Medical equipment. That was the price of the current camera. The newer ones are even more ridiculous.
