BackupPrivSam
A basic implementation of abusing the SeBackupPrivilege via Remote Registry dumping to dump the remote SAM SECURITY AND SYSTEM hives.
Inspired by https://twitter.com/filip_dragovic initial PoC. Just made it into a BOF.
Could be improved to auto download the hives. CBA
Usage
BackupPrivSAM [\\computername] [save path] (optional: [domain] [username] [password])
-
Dump the Hives to remote C:\ drive, using the current Primary Token
BackupPrivSAM \\dc01.contoso.local C:\ -
Dump the Hives to remote C:\ drive, and impersonate a user
