+The files in this directory are the data files required for smb-psexec.nse.
+
+The .lua files are configurations. Each of these defines a profile for a
+psexec execution.
+
+nmap_service.exe is a program that facilitates the operation of smb-psexec.nse.
+It is uploaded to the remote host and runs the programs it's directed to run,
+redirecting their output to a file. This file is then downloaded by the
+script and displayed to the user.
+
+Because nmap_service.exe is tagged as spyware by some antivirus software, it is
+no longer distributed together with nmap. You can download it from
+https://nmap.org/psexec/nmap_service.exe or compile it from the provided
+sources. The smb-psexec.nse script will remind you if you run it and
+nmap_service.exe is not available.
