Mimikatz, created by gentilkiwi, can be used to extract password hashes, Kerberos tickets, and PIN codes from Windows 10's memory. Because it's so crucial to the functionality of the operating system, hackers will often rename malicious executables after the process. It generates the processes accountable for authenticating users with NTLM as well as verifies the validity of logins. LSASS is responsible for authoritative domain authentication, active directory management, and enforcing security policies. The hashes can be very easily brute-forced and cracked to reveal the passwords in plaintext using a combination of tools, including Mimikatz, ProcDump, John the Ripper, and Hashcat.īefore we get to any of that, let's discuss the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS), an essential part of the Windows operating system.
Windows 10 passwords stored as NTLM hashes can be dumped and exfiltrated to an attacker's system in seconds.
