VMKATZ

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

VMkatz is a ~2.5 MB static binary that extracts Windows credentials directly from VM memory snapshots and virtual disks across VMware, VirtualBox, Proxmox, and Hyper-V without exfiltrating disk images. It supports all 9 LSASS SSP providers via in-place decryption, native VMFS-6 raw SCSI access to bypass file locks on running ESXi VMs, and natively parses NTDS.dit ESE databases for full Active Directory hash extraction with no impacket or external dependencies.
