Question

During a post-exploitation phase on a compromised Windows workstation, you have a low-privileged foothold as a domain user. You want to enumerate other systems the current user can reach without triggering noisy network scans. You run 'cmdkey /list' and discover several stored credential entries, including one labeled 'Domain:target=TERMSRV/fileserver01'. What is the MOST useful next action this finding enables?

Accepted Answer

Use the saved credential to launch an RDP session to fileserver01 via 'runas /savecred' or mstsc without re-entering the password, enabling lateral movement

Answer

Extract the plaintext password directly from the cmdkey output shown in the terminal

Answer

Dump LSASS memory because cmdkey entries are always stored there in cleartext

Answer

Immediately clear the credential vault to remove artifacts before continuing enumeration
