WMIC and VSSAdmin/NTDSUtil for NTDS.dit Extraction
This rule detects attempts to extract the ntds.dit file, which contains Active Directory credential information, using `wmic` in conjunction with `vssadmin.exe` or `ntdsutil.exe`. It also identifies the creation of `.dit` files in temporary directories and specific ESENT application event logs associated with NTDS database activity. This activity is indicative of credential dumping, a common post-exploitation technique.
