Description

Performs various techniques to dump hashes from the remote machine without executing any agent there. For SAM and LSA Secrets (including cached creds) we try to read as much as we can from the registry and then we save the hives in the target system (%SYSTEMROOT%\Temp dir) and read the rest of the data from there.

Development

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/smb/impacket/secretsdump
msf auxiliary(secretsdump) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(secretsdump) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(secretsdump) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(secretsdump) > run 

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
