Windows Run Command As User
Description
This module will login with the specified username/password and execute the supplied command as a hidden process. Output is not returned by default. Unless targeting a local user either set the DOMAIN, or specify a UPN user format (e.g. user@domain). This uses the CreateProcessWithLogonW WinAPI function. A custom command line can be sent instead of uploading an executable. APPLICAITON_NAME and COMMAND_LINE are passed to lpApplicationName and lpCommandLine respectively. See the MSDN documentation for how these two values interact.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
