pypykatz

Pure-Python Mimikatz: parses an LSASS dump offline on the attacker box.

A pure-Python reimplementation of Mimikatz. Its big advantage is that you don't need to run mimikatz.exe on the victim (AV flags it): you dump LSASS memory with procdump or comsvcs.dll and then process that .dmp OFFLINE from your Linux box with pypykatz, extracting NT hashes, tickets and cleartext passwords. Less noise, same loot.
