Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

While pivoting through a compromised Windows 10 workstation, you need to harvest credentials without touching disk with third-party tools. Which native technique best meets this goal by dumping the LSASS process memory for later offline extraction of clear-text and hashed passwords?

  • Execute "reg save HKLM\SAM C:\Temp\sam.hive" to export the SAM registry hive containing password hashes.

  • Use rundll32.exe to call the MiniDump function in comsvcs.dll against the LSASS PID and save the output to a writable directory.

  • Run "tasklist /svc" to enumerate LSASS threads and redirect the output to a file for later parsing.

  • Start a packet capture with "netsh trace start capture=yes" and analyze the resulting ETL file for credential data.
