Pass the Hash with Mimikatz on Windows

The video tutorial explains the 'pass the hash' technique, which allows authentication to servers using a username and hash instead of a password. It demonstrates how to use Mimikatz to extract hashes from a machine and perform lateral movement within a network. The tutorial includes a demo setup with a workstation and domain controller, showing how to execute the technique using the Secure LSA module. The video concludes with practical applications of the technique, highlighting the potential for remote access and control over a network.

What is the primary advantage of using a hash instead of a password for remote authentication?

• It is more secure than using a password.

• It enables lateral movement within a network.

• It requires less storage space.

• It allows for faster authentication.

What tool is commonly used to extract hashes from a machine?

• Wireshark

• Mimikatz

• Metasploit

• Nmap

What is the purpose of the Secure LSA module in Mimikatz?

• To encrypt data on the machine

• To extract passwords, keys, and tickets from memory

• To monitor network traffic

• To create user accounts

Which command is essential to run first in Mimikatz to gain full access?

• mimikatz::run

• securelsa::pth

• logon::passwords

• privilege::debug

What is the final goal of using the pass-the-hash technique?

• To gain access to a member server

• To compromise the domain controller

• To extract user credentials

• To disable network security

Which tool is used to execute remote commands on a domain controller?

• PSExec

• Telnet

• SSH

• FTP

What is the significance of the 'Who am I' command in the demonstration?

• To log out the current user
