## What it is
A collection of PowerShell functions for performing pass-the-hash attacks over WMI and SMB using NTLM hash authentication. It implements raw NTLMv2 authentication through .NET TCPClient without requiring local administrator privileges on the client side.

## Use cases
- execute commands on remote windows hosts with ntlm hash
- pass the hash wmi and smb
- lateral movement in active directory pentest
- check if credentials have access to remote host
- enumerate smb shares with stolen hash
- test smb signing and authentication

## When to choose
- you need pass-the-hash tooling in pure PowerShell without external binaries
- you are doing authorized penetration testing or red teaming on Windows networks
- you need WMI or SMB command execution with only an NTLM hash

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was 2018
- you need modern protocol support beyond SMB1/SMB2.1
- you are not working in a Windows/PowerShell environment

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, cli
