Hey! So what is Server Message Block? It's basically a protocol that lets computers share files, printers, and even serial ports over a network.
Yeah, it’s big in Windows, but it works on Linux and macOS too (thanks to Samba).
Real-world example? Imagine you’re in an office and need to access a shared folder on another computer—that’s SMB doing its thing.
If you wanna play with it, check out Wireshark to see SMB traffic or set up a simple Samba server on Linux.
