00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:10.070
Welcome to Pluralsight and this Red Team Tools course featuring PsExec,

00:00:10.070 --> 00:00:13.470
the remote administration tool developed and maintained by Mark

00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:17.000
Russinovich. PsExec is a tool that penetration testers,

00:00:17.110 --> 00:00:20.060
ethical hackers, and system administrators can use to

00:00:20.060 --> 00:00:22.780
execute remote processes on Windows machines.

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.630
PsExec is used for lateral movement within a network, using credentials you

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.900
already obtained on an already exploited workstation.

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:36.240
PsExec is part of the PsTools suite that allows administrators to remotely

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.980
access Windows machines and gather information or run commands.

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:42.640
As the exact part of the name implies,

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:46.350
PsExec is used to execute commands or run programs and

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:48.460
processes on those remote machines.

00:00:49.450 --> 00:00:53.430
Come join me as we use PsExec for lateral movement from an exploited

00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:56.570
host and run commands against a remote Windows machine.
