How does Meterpreter execute cmd commands as System after using getsystem's technique 1: Service - Named Pipe Impersonation
After using Meterpreter's getsystem
command with technique 1 (Service - Named Pipe Impersonation
), Meterpreter gains elevated privileges and impersonates the SYSTEM
account on the compromised system. This allows Meterpreter to execute commands with the privileges and permissions of the SYSTEM
account, which is the highest level of privilege on a Windows system.
Once you have obtained SYSTEM
level privileges, you can execute cmd commands using Meterpreter's execute
command or the cmd_exec
command. These commands allow you to run arbitrary commands as if you were running them from a command prompt.
Here's an example of how you can execute a cmd command as SYSTEM
using Meterpreter:
Use the
getsystem
command to elevate privileges and impersonateSYSTEM
:meterpreter > getsystem
Once you have elevated to
SYSTEM
, you can execute cmd commands using theexecute
command or thecmd_exec
command:luameterpreter > execute -H -f cmd.exe -c "<your command>"
Replace
<your command>
with the command you want to execute asSYSTEM
. For example, you can run:luameterpreter > execute -H -f cmd.exe -c "ipconfig /all"
This will execute the
ipconfig /all
command asSYSTEM
and display the output.
By using Meterpreter's getsystem
command with the Service - Named Pipe Impersonation
technique, you can elevate privileges to SYSTEM
and execute cmd commands with the highest level of privilege on the compromised system.
