Background

For background information, please refer to the following blog post: WS-Management COM: Another Approach for WinRM Lateral Movement

Notes

  • SharpWSManWinRM.cs and CppWsManWinRM.cpp compile in Visual Studio 2019. Refer to the code comments for required imports/references/etc.
  • All examples leverage the WMI Win32_Process class and WMI Create method for invocation.

Usage

SharpWSManWinRM.cs

 Usage: SharpWSManWinRM.exe <hostname> <command>
 Usage: SharpWSManWinRM.exe <hostname> <command> <domain\user> <password>

 Example: SharpWSManWinRM.exe host.domain.local notepad.exe
 Example: SharpWSManWinRM.exe host.domain.local "cmd /c notepad.exe" domain\joe.user P@ssw0rd

WSManWinRM.ps1

 Usage: Invoke-WSManWinRM -hostname <hostname> -command <command>

          Invoke-WSManWinRM -hostname MyServer.domain.local -command calc.exe -user domain\joe.user -password P@ssw0rd

WSManWinRM.vbs

 Usage: cscript.exe SharpWSManWinRM.vbs <hostname> <command>
 Usage: cscript.exe SharpWSManWinRM.vbs <hostname> <command> <domain\user> <password>

 Example: cscript.exe SharpWSManWinRM.vbs host.domain.local notepad.exe
 Example: cscript.exe SharpWSManWinRM.vbs host.domain.local "cmd /c notepad.exe" domain\joe.user P@ssw0rd 

WSManWinRM.js

 Usage: cscript.exe SharpWSManWinRM.js <hostname> <command>
 Usage: cscript.exe SharpWSManWinRM.js <hostname> <command> <domain\user> <password>

 Example: cscript.exe SharpWSManWinRM.js host.domain.local notepad.exe
 Example: cscript.exe SharpWSManWinRM.js host.domain.local "cmd /c notepad.exe" domain\joe.user P@ssw0rd  

CppWSManWinRM.cpp
