SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a stealthy method to dump LSASS memory on Windows systems, crucial for extracting credentials without triggering security alerts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stealthy Dumping: Utilizes syscalls, handle duplication, and fork-based techniques to evade EDR and AV detection.
  • Credential Extraction: Enables the extraction of NTLM hashes and Kerberos tickets from LSASS memory.
  • Use Case: When tasked with performing a stealthy credential dump on a compromised Windows host to gather sensitive information for further analysis.

Quick Start

Execute nanodump.exe with the --fork and --write flags to create a stealthy LSASS memory dump to a specified file path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I dump LSASS memory to extract credentials without triggering EDR?

Dump LSASS memory stealthily using direct syscalls, handle duplication, and fork-based techniques to bypass EDR and AV solutions. You can then parse the resulting minidump offline to extract NTLM hashes and Kerberos tickets.

What is the best way to evade AV solutions when dumping LSASS on Windows x64?

Evading AV solutions when dumping LSASS on Windows x64 is achieved through direct syscalls and handle duplication. These techniques avoid standard API hooks, allowing stealthy memory extraction without triggering security alerts.

Can I use nanodump with Mimikatz to parse LSASS minidumps?

Yes, you can use Mimikatz or pypykatz to parse the LSASS minidump generated by nanodump. The Skill facilitates credential extraction by outputting a minidump file for offline analysis to recover NTLM hashes and Kerberos tickets.

Do I need Visual Studio to compile an LSASS memory dumper using direct syscalls?

You need Visual Studio to compile the LSASS memory dumper from source, but precompiled formats are also available. You can deploy the EXE, BOF, or reflective DLL formats directly without compiling if preferred.

How do I execute a stealthy LSASS dump using a fork-based technique?

To execute a stealthy LSASS dump using a fork-based technique, run the executable with the --fork and --write flags. This creates a stealthy memory dump to a specified file path for further credential analysis.
