**Enumerating NTDS File Using Windows Built-in Tools:** 1. Open **Command Prompt** as an administrator. 2. Navigate to the directory where the NTDS file is located (typically `C:\Windows\NTDS`). 3. Run the following command to enumerate the NTDS file:
1 | nltest /dsgetdc:localhost /dcone /legacy /offline:C:\Windows\NTDS |
1 | ntdsutil
|
1 | hairspray.exe -a dumpdb -d c:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit |

**Using the LDP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) Tool:** 1. Open the LDP tool. Go to Start > Run and type "ldp.exe". 2. Click "Connection" > "Connect". Enter the domain controller's IP address or hostname and port (usually 389). 3. Select "Secure Socket Layer (SSL)" as the protocol. Click "OK" to connect. 4. Expand "System" > "Service". 5. Right-click on "NTDS" and select "Retrieve as TEXT". 6. Save the extracted text file with a ".txt" extension. **Using the ADExplorer Tool:** 1. Download and install the ADExplorer tool from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=72546. 2. Run ADExplorer as an administrator. 3. Click on "Tools" > "Enum NTDS". 4. Enter the domain name and the domain controller's IP address or hostname. 5. The tool will generate a text file with the NTDS file's contents. **Extracting Active Directory Hashes:** 1. Open the downloaded or retrieved text file. 2. Search for the following attribute: "userAccountControl: 514". 3. This attribute contains the hexadecimal NT hash (NTLMv1) and the LM hash (NTLM). **Note:** * These methods will only work on NTDS files from domain controllers running Windows Server 2008 or earlier. * Extracting NTDS hashes from domain controllers running Windows Server 2008 R2 or later is typically done using tools like Mimikatz or Pass the Hash (PtH) techniques.
