rpcclient: Connect to a remote host on a domain without a password.

rpcclient

$ rpcclient --user ${username} --workgroup ${domain} --no-pass ${ip}

try on your machine

This command is used to establish a connection to a remote Windows machine using the rpcclient utility. Let's break down the different components of the command:

rpcclient: This is the main command that invokes the rpcclient utility. Rpcclient is a lightweight program that provides an interface to interact with the Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface, commonly used in Windows networks.
--user ${username}: This option is used to specify the username for authentication when connecting to the remote machine. The ${username} placeholder should be replaced with the actual username you want to use.
--workgroup ${domain}: This option sets the workgroup or domain name for the remote machine. The ${domain} placeholder should be replaced with the actual name of the workgroup or domain.
--no-pass: This option is used to indicate that you will not provide a password when connecting to the remote machine. It is useful when you have already authenticated with other means, such as via Kerberos tickets or using the current user's credentials.
${ip}: This refers to the IP address or hostname of the remote Windows machine you want to connect to. The ${ip} placeholder should be replaced with the actual IP address or hostname.

Overall, the command aims to establish a connection to a remote Windows machine using rpcclient, specifying the authentication credentials (username and workgroup/domain) without providing a password.
