On systems using Windows Server and onwards, the easiest and most reliable way of dumping both Ntds. This automatically locates the files, takes a volume shadow copy, and repairs and defragments the database.
Volume Shadow Copy allows you to obtain copies of Ntds. Check that the server has sufficient free disk space available and then create a shadow copy using the command below:. These can be substituted into the following commands to copy out the Ntds. Please note that in order to obtain the hashes in Windows systems you also need to repair the Ntds.
Therefore, these repair commands must be run on a Windows system, such as the DC. Ensure copies of the Ntds. While there are many tools online for decrypting NTLM password hashes, we found that most of them are quite unreliable. As a result, my colleague Phill developed a tool called NtdsAudit to do this, which has now been publicly released.
To dump the NTLM password hashes from the files you obtained in the first step, you can use the following command:. A sample of the outputted pwdump. Besides dumping password hashes, NtdsAudit computes some useful summary statistics about Active Directory accounts and passwords, including information about dormant accounts or users with duplicate passwords.
The output consists of four files. Review the output and consider a password cracked only if a recognizable portion of the password has been identified. This is because the Easycheck.
Count how many passwords were cracked. If weak passwords are uncovered, verify that a complex password filter is installed properly i. Remove output files from the machine and properly store or destroy printed output. If a password filter is not installed and configured, then this is a finding. Pentura Labs's Blog.

This table is fairly static and much smaller than the data table. Link tablecontains linked attributes, which contain values referring to other objects in the Active Directory. Take the MemberOf attribute on a user object. That attribute contains values that reference groups to which the user belongs.
This is also far smaller than the data table. Data tableusers, groups, application-specific data, and any other data stored in the Active Directory. The data table can be thought of as having rows where each row represents an instance of an object such as a user, and columns where each column represents an attribute in the schema such as GivenName.
