# Internal Network Reconnaissance Analysis

## Overview
Royal APT has initiated internal network reconnaissance, a critical step for lateral movement within the network.

## Techniques Identified
- **Network Scanning**: Utilization of tools like Nmap to map out network topology.
- **Credential Dumping**: Attempts to extract stored credentials using tools like Mimikatz.

## Potential Risks
- Identification of key systems and data repositories for further exploitation.
- Compromise of additional user accounts to facilitate lateral movement.

## Mitigation Strategies
- Monitor network traffic for unusual scanning behavior.
- Enforce strong password policies and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
