RE: MS SQL Server

[Michael Gargiullo <mgargiullo () pvtpt com>]

You have access to the data files themselves.  Why not download a copy
and import them on a local copy of sql server?

Or

Grab the SAM from this local box and run it through LC5 to see if you
can grab the SQL Server User's username and password.  I say this,
because if they were savy enough to remove the local admin access to sql
server, they probably did the right thing and created a user that the
server runs as.

Or

Use this machine as a spring board to attack the AD
