PsExec’ing the right way and why zero trust is mandatory

2021 was the year I met two incredible hackers, Michael and Reino with whom I had the opportunity to work with during my first ever SenseCon. The Sensecon is an internal conference that lasts 3 days during which we meet people, share knowledge and have fun. There is also a day long hackathon during which we work on hacking subjects we are interested in. For that hackathon, we wanted to dig into PsExec.exe in order to see if it is possible to communicate with it via a python script and thus not depend anymore on a windows system. Spoiler alert, we were able to! But for some reasons, the project died in a private repo.
