While pivoting inside a corporate network, you have obtained local administrator credentials for a Windows 10 host at 192.168.56.102. You need to launch calc.exe on that system from your attacker workstation using only native Windows utilities and leaving no files behind. Which WMIC command accomplishes this task?
wmic 192.168.56.102 /exec calc.exe
wmic process call create "calc.exe" /node=192.168.56.102 /dct
wmic /node=192.168.56.102 process create calc.exe
wmic /node:192.168.56.102 process call create "calc.exe"
WMIC can invoke processes on remote hosts through the "process call create" method. The correct syntax starts with the /node switch to specify the target computer, followed by the class (process), the verb (call), the method (create), and finally the command to run in double quotes. The other options either use an incorrect switch format, omit the required "call" keyword, or misuse parameters, so they would fail to execute the application remotely.
