RemotePotato0 is a Windows privilege escalation exploit that abuses the DCOM activation service to trigger NTLM authentication from privileged users and relay it cross-protocol (RPC to HTTP) to escalate from a generic user to Domain Admin. It also supports capturing NTLMv2 hashes of all users logged on to a target machine.

Use cases

  • escalate privileges from standard user to domain admin on windows
  • relay ntlm authentication to ldap to escalate a user
  • capture ntlmv2 hashes of logged-on users on a machine
  • perform cross-session dcom activation attacks
  • set up rpc to http cross-protocol relay for ntlmrelayx
  • red team active directory privilege escalation testing

When to choose

  • you are on a pentest or red team engagement against an active directory environment
  • a privileged user such as a domain admin is logged on the same target machine
  • you need to steal ntlmv2 hashes from logged-on sessions
  • you want a standalone windows executable for potato-style relay attacks

When to avoid

  • you are on patched windows server 2019+ where the main rpc to ldap exploit scenario is fixed
  • you need a general-purpose privilege escalation enumeration tool rather than a specific exploit
  • you lack any foothold or a privileged user session on the target machine
  • you are not authorized to test the target environment
