Auto-Dumping Domain Credentials using SPNs, PowerShell Remoting, and Mimikatz

Releases Invoke-DCSync, a PowerShell wrapper around Mimikatz's DCSync feature that impersonates a domain controller to dump account hashes without touching the DC.

Replicates ntds.dit dumping with pure WMI Win32_ShadowCopy calls instead of vssadmin, remotely snapshotting a domain controller to pull password hashes while trimming the tool-based IoC footprint.

Any domain user can query AD SPN records to enumerate every SQL Server—instances and ports included—without noisy scans; NetSPI's Get-SQLServerAccess module then tests each for accessible logins.

SpecterOps argues identity risk now extends beyond Tier Zero, as attackers increasingly use legitimate credentials and trusted relationships to reach backups, regulated data, and other critical workloads.

A pentester describes turning one RCE on an ASP.NET server into deep internal access via mimikatz dumping and password reuse, arguing real engagements must prove impact beyond running whoami.

Kevin Robertson details ten attacker rules for MachineAccountQuota, which lets unprivileged users add up to 10 machine accounts, plus Powermad techniques and the defense of setting MAQ to 0.
