It uses WMI over HTTP(S) over 5985/TCP and 5986/TCP. WinRM requires listeners on the client and server to process requests. This can be enabled using the Powershell command ’`Enable-PSRemoting –Force`’ locally and remotely using any of the previous techniques. ``` winrs -r:REMOTEIP -u:DOMAIN\USER -p:PASSWORD notepad.exe ``` We can also avoid the double-hop problem with -EnableNetworkAccess ``` PS> Enter-PSSession –ComputerName REMOTEIP –Credential DOMAIN\USER –EnableNetworkAccess ``` If the computer is not domain joined, then you need to add the target computer to the trustedhosts list ``` PS > winrm quickconfig PS > Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts –Value ’,’ ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

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/winrm.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.
