T1028: Windows Remote Management
Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is the name of both a Windows service and a protocol that allows a user to interact with a remote system (e.g., run an executable, modify the Registry, modify services). [1] It may be called with the winrm command or by any number of programs such as PowerShell. [2]
This ATT&CK object is revoked or deprecated in the current MITRE ATT&CK release.
