Definition

Mimikatz is a powerful tool that can be used to extract sensitive information from a Windows system, including passwords, hashes, and other credentials. To run Mimikatz, you typically need to have administrative privileges or system privileges on the target system.

Administrator Privileges

To run most Mimikatz commands, you need to have administrative privileges on the target system. This is because Mimikatz needs to access sensitive areas of the system, such as the registry, system files, and memory, which are restricted to administrators.

System Privileges

Some Mimikatz commands, such as those that interact with the kernel or require low-level system access, may require system privileges. System privileges are typically only available to the SYSTEM account, which is a built-in account on Windows systems that has elevated privileges.

psexec -s -i C:\\path\\to\\mimikatz.exe

is a command used to execute the Mimikatz tool (or any other executable) with elevated privileges on a Windows system. Here’s a breakdown of the command:

Breakdown of the Command

• psexec: This is a command-line utility from the Sysinternals suite that allows you to execute processes on remote systems or on the local system with different user credentials.
• s: This option tells psexec to run the specified command as the SYSTEM account. The SYSTEM account has higher privileges than an administrator and can access all files and processes on the machine.
• i: This option allows the command to interact with the desktop of the specified session. If you do not specify a session ID, it will default to the current session. This is particularly useful when running GUI applications that require user interaction.
• C:\path\to\mimikatz.exe: This is the path to the Mimikatz executable that you want to run. You should replace this with the actual path where Mimikatz is located on your system.
