About

Mimikatz is an incredibly effective offensive security tool developed by gentilkiwi. It is a post-exploitation tool that dumps passwords from memory, as well as hashes, PINs and Kerberos tickets. Other useful attacks are pass-the-hash, pass-the-ticket or building Golden Kerberos tickets. This makes post-exploitation lateral movement within a network easy for attackers. Mimikatz is a very powerful tool when attacking,or defending Windows Systems, it can also play with certificates or private keys, vault and more.

Mimikatz can only dump credentials and password hashes if it is executed from the context of a privilege user, like local admin.
