Active Directory NTDS.dit Collection via VSS

T1003.003 · MITRE ATT&CK

On Windows versions where the documented vssadmin create shadow command is available, create a Volume Shadow Copy of the domain-controller volume containing NTDS.dit. Identify the selected snapshot device path, then acquire NTDS.dit and the SYSTEM registry hive to restricted staging for authorized offline analysis. This is OS Credential Dumping: NTDS (T1003.003), not DCSync (T1003.006). Treat both files as highly sensitive credential material.
