native linux psexec

Sometimes you just don’t feel like starting up metasploit. All you want is an easy way to execute commands on that remote windows computer from your linux shell. Now if you google around you’ll find the following helpful links:

• http://micksmix.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/winexe-a-psexec-like-client-for-accessing-windows-from-linux/
• http://mpov.timmorgan.org/winexe-on-ubuntu

Which are nice but don’t really get you up and running quickly, so for my own future reference here are the direct links to a nicely packaged version of winexe for ubuntu:

• https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=winexe&project=home%3Aahajda%3Awinexe

• https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary?arch=i586&filename=winexe_1.00-1_i386.deb&package=winexe&project=home%3Aahajda%3Awinexe&repository=xUbuntu_12.04

Just download, install and then you can go like this from any random terminal session you open:

winexe -U administrator –password=password //10.0.0.2 cmd.exe
