Which tool is known for verifying credentials and supporting lateral movement across multiple Windows endpoints in a domain environment?
Responder
John the Ripper
CrackMapExec
Hydra
CrackMapExec (CME) is a powerful post-exploitation tool used to validate credentials and facilitate lateral movement in Windows domain environments. It enables penetration testers to verify access across systems using SMB, WinRM, or RDP, and is widely used during internal assessments. In contrast, tools like Hydra, Responder, and John the Ripper serve different phases—password guessing, credential capture, and offline cracking respectively—and do not support domain-wide credential validation and pivoting.
