Module Options

Here is a complete list of get-desc-users module options:

# cme ldap -M get-desc-users --options
[*] get-desc-users module options:

            FILTER    Apply the FILTER (grep-like) (default: '')
            PASSWORDPOLICY    Is the windows password policy enabled ? (default: False)
            MINLENGTH    Minimum password length to match, only used if PASSWORDPOLICY is True (default: 6)

Note that none of these options is required. If you want to change any of the default values, you can do so by adding, e.g. -o FILTER=VALUE parameter to the command line.

Module Usage

This is how to use the get-desc-users module while using the ldap protocol:

Syntax:
# cme ldap <TARGET[s]> -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> -d <DOMAIN> -M get-desc-users

Local admin:
# cme ldap 10.0.5.1 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M get-desc-users
# cme ldap 10.0.5.1 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 --local-auth -M get-desc-users

Domain user:
# cme ldap 10.0.5.1 -u bkpadmin -p P@ss123 -d target.corp -M get-desc-users

CrackMapExec also supports passing the hash, so you can specify NTLM hash instead of a password:

# cme ldap 10.0.5.1 -u Administrator -H 432b022dc22aa5afe884e986b8383ff2 -d . -M get-desc-users
# cme ldap 10.0.5.1 -u bkpadmin -H 432b022dc22aa5afe884e986b8383ff2 -d target.corp -M get-desc-users
The get-desc-users module can be also used against multiple hosts. Here's how to run it against multiple hosts:

# cme ldap target_list.txt -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M get-desc-users
# cme ldap 10.0.5.0/24 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M get-desc-users
# cme ldap 10.0.5.1-100 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M get-desc-users
