# Credential Dumping Activity Overview

The persistence mechanisms have paved the way for the attacker to perform credential dumping, a technique used to extract user credentials from the compromised system.

## Techniques Observed:
- **LSASS Memory Dumping:** Access to Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) memory to extract credentials.
- **SAM Database Extraction:** Copying the Security Account Manager (SAM) database for offline analysis.
- **Tools Used:** Use of known tools like Mimikatz to facilitate credential dumping.

## Recommendations:
Immediate action is required to prevent lateral movement within the network. Look out for data exfiltration attempts as potential next steps.
