This PR allows to remotely extract hashes from the SAM and SECURITY (LSA Secrets and cached credentials) registry hives without touching disk. There is no need to save these registry hives to disk and parse them locally.
This feature takes advantage of the WriteDACL privileges held by local administrators to provide temporary read permissions on registry hives. This work was already implemented by @jfjallid on the great tool https://github.com/jfjallid/go-secdump.
In order to use this technique, it is required to use the
-inline
flag. If a connection error occurs and the extraction is interrupted, the-restore
flag can be used to restore the initial state of the registry.Also, the
-use-ntds
flag has been added as I noticed it was trying to launch the NTDS extraction every time the script was launched.
