Additional tradecraft and techniques: Using open-source tooling: Mimikatz, Hekatomb, Lazagne, gosecretsdump, smbpasswd.py, LinPEAS, ADFSDump.

The adversary used mimikatz to obtain user credentials. They saved the utility file under the name calculator.exe to disguise its real purpose.

For the pass-the-hash attacks, they used a custom modified version of Mimikatz, implemented in an executable named bK2o.exe. Due to the previously discussed overlaps between bK2o.exe (used in Operation Digital Eye), wsx.exe, wsx1.exe, mim221 components (used in Operation Tainted Love), and simplify_32.exe (used in Operation Soft Cell), we collectively refer to this collection of tools as mimCN.

Microsoft’s profile of the group noted the execution of Mimikatz “specifically targeting the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) memory to extract plaintext credentials.”

The investigation identified tools for obtaining credentials. Besides the publicly available mimikatz utility, the attackers used secretsdump and ProcDump.
