Detects suspicious invocation of the Get-ADDBAccount PowerShell script that reads from an ntds.dit file. This technique can be used to gain access to credentials without relying on traditional credential dumping tools. The rule specifically looks for the presence of 'Get-ADDBAccount', 'BootKey', and 'DatabasePath' in the PowerShell payload, indicating an attempt to extract credentials from an NTDS database file.

This rule detects the use of `System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement` within PowerShell script block logs. This .NET namespace is commonly used to programmatically manage Active Directory security principals such as users, computers, and groups. Adversaries may use this method to create new domain accounts, modify existing ones, or manipulate group memberships to establish persistence or elevate privileges within an Active Directory environment.
