Description
This module enumerates the victim machine's domain controller and
connects to it via SMB. It then looks for Group Policy Preference XML
files containing local user accounts and passwords and decrypts them
using Microsofts public AES key.
Cached Group Policy files may be found on end-user devices if the group
policy object is deleted rather than unlinked.
Tested on WinXP SP3 Client and Win2k8 R2 DC.
