Overview

This module will start a process as another user using powershell. By default, it will start an interactive cmd as the target user.

Module Options

  • USER - The use to run the program as.
  • PASS - The user's password
  • DOMAIN - The domain of the user
  • EXE - The program to run (default cmd.exe)
  • ARGS - The program arguments
  • PATH - The path to run the program in (default C:\)
  • CHANNELIZE - Channelize the output, required to read output or interact
  • INTERACT - Interact with program
  • HIDDEN - Hide the console window

Module Process

The process will use the Start-Process command of powershell to run a process as another user.

Limitations

  • Requires Powershell
  • Hidden Mode does not work with older powershell versions
  • Interactive mode needs to be run from a meterpreter console
  • Certain SYSTEM Services cannot run Start-Process with the -credential switch, causing the module to fail
  • SYSTEM processes without I/O pipes cannot use interactive mode

Examples

` meterpreter > getuid Server username: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM meterpreter > run post/windows/manage/run_as_psh user=test pass=mypassword
