Using Credentials

Using Credentials

Every protocol supports using credentials in one form or another. For details on using credentials with a specific protocol, see the appropriate wiki section.

Generally speaking, to use credentials, you can run one of the following commands:

crackmapexec <protocol> 172.16.0.1/24 -u username -p password

Note: When using usernames or passwords that contain special symbols, wrap them in single quotes to make your shell interpret it as a string, for

crackmapexec <protocol> 172.16.0.1/24 -u username -p 'Admin!123@'

Using a credential set from the database

By specifying the credential ID with the -id flag you can use any credential set that's been stored in the database (saves a lot of typing):

crackmapexec <protocol> 172.16.0.1/24 -id 1

See the database wiki page for more information on CME's database.
