How it works?

• AMSI module:

  • Tal-Liberman's technique from blackhat asia 2018.

• exec-command module:

  • Enhancement of previous project: wmiexec-RegOut, get output from wmi class instead of from registry.

• filetransfer module:

  • For upload: encode the source file as base64 strings into the dropper named WriteFile.vbs, then create a new instance of object ActiveScriptEventConsumer to execute the dropper.
  • For download: remote create a class to store data, then execute the encoder LocalFileIntoClass.vbs to encode the file and store data into the class that just created.

• rdp module:

  • For enable/disable: rdp serivces: control TerminalServices object directly.
  • For enable/disable: Restricted Admin Mode: control registry key DisableRestrictedAdmin via StdRegProv class.

• winrm module:

  • For enable/disable: invoke service module.
  • For firewall rules: use module firewall.py to configure firewall of winrm.

• firewall module:

  • Abusing MSFT_NetProtocolPortFilter, MSFT_NetFirewallRule, MSFT_NetFirewallProfile classes.

• service module:

  • Abusing Win32_Service classes.

• eventlog module:

  • Execute the vbs script file ClearEventlog.vbs without remove event and consumer.

• execute-vbs module:

  • Picked from wmipersist.py.

• classMethodEx method:

  • For create class: execute the vbs scritp : CreateClass.vbs to create simple class. (Why? Have no idea how to use PutClass method in impacket.)
  • For remove class: call DeleteClass method to remove class.

• hashdump module:

  • native method (default, Win8 / Server 2012+): create a Volume Shadow Copy via Win32_ShadowCopy.Create, read SAM / SECURITY / SYSTEM (or NTDS.dit + SYSTEM) directly from the shadow copy device path through PS_ModuleFile.FileData. No subprocess, no temp WMI class, no event subscription.
  • legacy method: VBS + ADODB.Stream copies files from the shadow copy and base64-stashes them into a temporary WMI class.
  • Hashes are parsed locally with impacket's secretsdump (SAMHashes / LSASecrets / NTDSHashes).

• defender module:

  • Abuses MSFT_MpPreference under namespace root/Microsoft/Windows/Defender. Calls Set / Add / Remove with kwargs-only InParams; unspecified parameters are null-marked via NdTable so existing settings stay intact (equivalent to wmic ... call Set <field>=<value> semantics).

• processdump module:

  • Triggers MiniDumpWriteDump on the target process via WMI, writing the dump to disk on the target. Optional retrieval pulls the dump file back through PS_ModuleFile.FileData and can clean up the remote artifact afterwards.

• smb-takeover module:

  • Stops LanmanServer and its dependent services to free TCP/445 on the target. Useful when a SMB relay / SMB-based tool needs the port available after WMI lateral movement.
