Remote Shutdown

[Gr3yH@tf00l]

Ok so I've been trying to remotely shutdown a windows computer using my ubuntu laptop. I've been trying: net rpc shutdown -I 192.168.0.XXX -U Hacker        |  This approach is not working and the attached image is the error message I've been getting... Any help would be appreciated

I thought that was what it was saying also. Since this was just a practice and I was using my own computers I looked up the IP address on the target computer and just to be sure ran nmap on the computer performing the shutdown. My best guess would be that it has something to do with the victim computers firewall. If that is the case any ideas what to do then?

If you have access to the victim computer drop the firewall and test again.

If not Windows firewall as another user mentioned, my money would be on a permissions issue. Consider tcpdump'ing the traffic and attaching the pcap to the thread so that we can see the handshake happen and determine if it is in fact a connectivity issue.

Additionally, check the Windows side for any logs which would indicate a failed login. I'm assuming you're not in a domain environment here.

So what would I do about the space cause Alien Hacker is the username?

You surround it with double quotes.

Ok just tried that. The below attachment is what I got.

Yes I am targeting the other machine with user/pass. But wouldn't it also work to target my own machine?

[Gr3yH@tf00l]

So the admin account. That is what I am targeting

Correct

I think you mistyped the password because if you or my second bet is that you are being refused connection because of the administrator permission, you know the alert type of notification about software, connection permissions acces in windows. make sure you are connected to Alien Hacker in order to bypass the security, being admin means you have all privileges.

Correct syntax:

Code: [Select]

net rpc shutdown -I <ip address> -U <username>%<password>
Have you tried dropping the firewall on the victim?

Not entirely true, on windows admin doesnt have full root access only SYSTEM has that.
Which is retared to say the least.
