Pulling a plaintext password with Mimikatz

Now that we have a Meterpreter, we can use it to dump passwords from memory. Mimikatz is a great tool for doing this as defined by the creator of Mimikatz himself:

"It is made in C and make some experiments with Windows security. It's now well-known to extract plain text passwords, hashes, PIN codes, and Kerberos tickets from memory. Mimikatz can also perform pass-the-hash, pass-the-ticket, or build Golden tickets."

How to do it...

Let's perform the following steps:

1. Once we have the Meterpreter and system privileges, we can load up Mimikatz using the following command:

load mimikatz

2. To view all of the available options, type the following command:

help mimikatz...
