Adversaries may use Valid Accounts to interact with remote systems using Windows Remote Management (WinRM). The adversary may then perform actions as the logged-on user. 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 WinRM can be used as a method of remotely interacting with Windows Management Instrumentation.3
