Re: Pwdump2 with UNICODE?

[hellNbak <hellnbak () nmrc org>]

You need admin level access to use PWDump.  So, you can do a few things
depending on the config of the remote box.

There is a cool tool, also written by Todd Sabin author of PWDump called
HK which works great to elevate your privleges.  Simply exploit Unicode to
upload HK to the directory you are dumping your tools in.  Read the doc
with HK to understand the usage but it works great on NT 4.0 boxes.

Or, you can go to www.dogmile.com and grab a cool .asp that apparently
exploits some .asp vulnerability that launches your code in system
context.  I haven't tested the .asp yet so I can't say too much about it.

You can also attempt to grab the sam._ from the \winnt\repair directory.
