What you'll learn

Adversaries often seek to extract user credentials, typically in the form of hashes or plaintext passwords, from operating systems and software. These credentials can then be used to facilitate lateral movement within a network and gain access to sensitive information. Volt Typhoon used a number of techniques to obtain credentials, including extracting them from process memory and stealing Active Directory databases (NTDS). In this course, Volt Typhoon: T1003.003 Credential Dumping Emulation, you’ll focus on how Volt Typhoon created a volume shadow copy and extracted the bootkey from the system registry hive to extract password hashes from NTDS.
