SharpStrike v1.2 releases: uses either CIM or WMI to query remote systems

SharpStrike

SharpStrike is a post-exploitation tool written in C# that uses either CIM or WMI to query remote systems. It can use provided credentials or the current user’s session.

Note: Some commands will use PowerShell in combination with WMI, denoted with ** in the –show-commands command.

Introduction

SharpStrike is a C# rewrite and expansion on @Matt_Grandy_‘s CIMplant and @christruncer‘s WMImplant.

SharpStrike allows you to gather data about a remote system, execute commands, exfil data, and more. The tool allows connections using Windows Management Instrumentation, WMI, or Common Interface Model, CIM; well more accurately Windows Management Infrastructure, MI. CIMplant requires local administrator permissions on the target system.

Solution Architecture

SharpStrike is composed of three main projects

1. ServiceLayer — Provides core functionality and consumed by the UI layer
2. Models — Contains types, shared across all projects
3. User Interface — GUI/Console

ServiceLayer

1. Connector.cs

This is where the initial CIM/WMI connections are made and passed to the rest of the application

2. ExecuteWMI.cs

All function code for the WMI commands

3. ExecuteCIM.cs

All function code for the CIM (MI) commands
