Description

This module uploads an executable file to the victim system, creates
a share containing that executable, creates a remote service on each
target system using a UNC path to that file, and finally starts the
service(s).

The result is similar to psexec but with the added benefit of using
the session's current authentication token instead of having to know
a password or hash.
