GPEN Exam - Question 43


You have compromised a Windows XP system and Injected the Meterpreter payload into the lsass process. While looking over the system you notice that there is a popular password management program on the system. When you attempt to access the file that contains the password you find it is locked. Further investigation reveals that it is locked by the passmgr process. How can you use the Meterpreter to get access to this file?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C,D

To access a locked file managed by the passmgr process using Meterpreter, the most effective method is to use the migrate command to jump to the passmgr process. By migrating into the passmgr process, you inherit its permissions, thereby allowing you to access the locked file.

Hence, the best option to access the locked password file is: D. Use the migrate command to jump to the passmgr process. That will give you access to the file. This technique ensures that you have the necessary permissions to interact with files or resources that the passmgr process is using.
