Oder- falls das “Problem” beim Moderieren ist, dass du gerade einen Backup-Account nutzt, der nicht Mod ist: über vger & Co könntest du einen Backup-Account als Mod ernennen und dann mit dem weiter moderieren

I mean, the hosting company would be the likely target then and they’d probably lock your account and switch off the server. Depending on your nationality and that of the hoster, at least.

If it weren’t for those pesky content breaks every now and then, they could serve even more ads. Won’t somebody think of the shareholders?

I found a blog post outlining exactly that. If you use it locally, it will install and start a service temporarily. That service runs as SYSTEM and invokes your command. To succeed, you need to be a local administrator.

If you try the same remote, it tries to access \\remote-server-ip\$admin and installs the service with that. To succeed your current account on your local machine must exist on the remote machine and must be an administrator there.

So in short: It only works, if you’ve already the privilege to do so and the tool itself is not (ab)using a privilege escalation or something like that. Any hacker and virus may do the very same and doesn’t need psexec - it’s just easier for them to use that tool.
