Selecting & Using a Protocol

Using a Protocol

As of v4, CME has divided up it's functionality in an effort simplify/orginize/modularize argument parsing and capabilities.
This also allows to extend CME's functionality beyond Active Directory ;)

TL;DR To use a specific protocol run cme <protocol> <protocol_options>

Viewing Available Protocols

Running cme --help will list general options and protocols that are available (Notice the 'protocols' section below):

#~ cme --help
usage: cme [-h] [-v] [-t THREADS] [--timeout TIMEOUT] [--jitter INTERVAL]
           [--darrell] [--verbose]
           {http,smb,mssql} ...
