Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During an internal penetration test you captured the NTLM hash of the local Administrator account from several Windows 10 workstations using an SMB relay attack. The customer's endpoint detection rules quarantine any new executables written to disk, so you must avoid dropping files on the target. Which approach allows you to execute commands on one of the compromised hosts while honoring this restriction?

  • Start a password-guessing attack against the local Administrator account until the clear-text password is discovered.

  • Leverage Impacket's wmiexec.py to perform a Pass-the-Hash attack over WMI and run commands in memory on the remote host.

  • Forge a Golden Ticket for the Administrator account and authenticate via Kerberos to obtain a remote shell.

  • Use PsExec with the stolen hash to install its service and open an interactive shell over SMB.
