extracting-credentials-from-memory-dump
Extracts cached credentials, password hashes, Kerberos tickets, and authentication tokens from Windows memory dumps using Volatility 3, Mimikatz, and pypykatz. Use when performing memory forensics or incident response on an LSASS or full memory dump and you need to recover credentials or Kerberos material for investigation.

# Extracting Credentials from Memory Dump
## When to Use
- During incident response to determine what credentials an attacker had access to
- When assessing the scope of credential compromise after a breach
- For identifying accounts that need immediate password resets
- When investigating lateral movement and pass-the-hash/pass-the-ticket attacks
- For recovering encryption keys or authentication tokens from process memory
## Prerequisites
- Memory dump in raw, ELF, or crash dump format
- Volatility 3 with Windows symbol tables
- Mimikatz (for offline analysis of extracted LSASS dumps)
- pypykatz (Python implementation of Mimikatz for Linux-based analysis)
