Workaround: physical read primitive failed!

[azcgithub]

I received this error when attempting to run the Smb_Ghost.py script on a Kali Linux 2024.3 machine against a Windows 10 ver. 1903 build 18362.356 machine.

As it turns out, despite CVE-2020-0796 including build 18362.356 as a vulnerable version, this build is not susceptible to this specific exploit script. This is apparently true for other 1903 builds as well.

However, I can confirm that this exploit script does work on Windows 10 ver. 1903 build 18362.30. I used an image downloaded from https://archive.org/details/Win10_1903_V1_English_x64. The only configurations made after installation was disabling the firewall.

Exploit confirmation

I am a noob and this took longer than I'd like to admit to figure out. Hopefully it saves other people in my shoes some time in the future.
