## What it is
SCShell is a fileless lateral movement tool that executes commands on remote Windows systems by modifying a service's binary path via ChangeServiceConfigA over DCERPC, without SMB authentication or dropping files. It includes a C utility and a Python implementation supporting pass-the-hash via Impacket.

## Use cases
- perform fileless lateral movement on Windows networks
- execute remote commands without creating or registering services
- run payloads over DCERPC instead of SMB
- pass the hash to move laterally with Impacket
- red team remote command execution on Windows hosts

## When to choose
- you need stealthy, fileless remote execution on Windows during authorized penetration tests
- you want to avoid SMB authentication and service creation artifacts
- you need pass-the-hash lateral movement support

## When to avoid
- you need a defensive or detection tool rather than an offensive one
- you lack authorization to test the target systems
- you need a maintained tool with active development and a license

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, python, cli
- tags: lateral-movement, fileless, dcerpc, pass-the-hash, red-team, offensive-security, service-abuse
