Enable or Disable SMB Message Signing
To help prevent attacks that modify SMB packets in transit, the SMB protocol supports the digital signing of SMB packets.
SMB2 protocol 3.1.1 dialect adds pre-authentication integrity, cipher negotiation, AES-128-GCM cipher, and cluster dialect
fencing. Pre-authentication integrity improves protection from an attacker in tampering with SMB2s connection establishment
and authentication of messages. The cipher can be negotiated during connection establishment. In addition to AES-128-CCM
cipher used at SMB 3.0.x, Windows 10 (and Windows Server 2016) added AES-128-GCM cipher in SMB 3.1.1. The GCM mode
offers a significant performance gain.
Steps
