pentesting-winrm
Testing Windows Remote Management (WinRM / WS-Management) during authorized engagements. WinRM exposes an HTTP(S) SOAP interface for WMI/PowerShell remoting on 5985/tcp (HTTP) and 5986/tcp (HTTPS). Covers service detection with Test-WSMan and netexec, credential validation and brute force, interactive shells with evil-winrm (password, pass-the-hash, Kerberos, certificate auth), command execution, NTLM relay to WS-MAN, and the OMIGOD (CVE-2021-38647) RCE.

# Pentesting WinRM (port 5985/5986)
## When to Use
- During authorized Windows/AD assessments when 5985 (HTTP) or 5986 (HTTPS) is open
- When you hold valid credentials or an NT hash and want an interactive remote shell
- When testing for NTLM relay opportunities against an unencrypted WinRM (HTTP) listener
- When assessing Azure Linux hosts running OMI (OMIGOD, CVE-2021-38647)
- When validating credentials at scale and checking which grant remote-exec
## Quick Enumeration
```bash
# Port presence implies WinRM is configured
