# Session Hijack

## Windows

Session hijacking in Windows is a powerfull and easy way to pivot deeper into the AD environment.

### Find logged in users

```bash
## Remotely using `netexec`
$ netexec smb <target> -u Administrator -H :<pw-hash> --local-auth --loggedon-users
...
SMB         <target>   445    <hostname>   [+] Enumerated logged_on users
SMB         <target>   445    <hostname>   DOM\username             logon_server: DC.DOM.LOCAL

## Locally using cmd/powershell
> query user /server:127.0.0.1
 USERNAME              SESSIONNAME        ID  STATE   IDLE TIME  LOGON TIME
 void                  console             2  Active      none   2024-10-14 07:29

> qwinsta /server:127.0.0.1
 SESSIONNAME       USERNAME                 ID  STATE   TYPE        DEVICE
 console           void                      2  Active
```
