mimikatz

Mimikatz is a powerful tool designed for learning and Windows security experiments. It was created by Benjamin DELPY, better known online as gentilkiwi, and is well-known for its capacity to extract hashes, PIN codes, Kerberos tickets, and plaintext passwords from system memory. The tool facilitates several processes, such as the generation of Golden tickets, pass-the-hash, and pass-the-ticket. Even though mimikatz is a useful tool for doing experiments and learning about Windows security, it's crucial to use it ethically and responsibly because it might be misused.
