The reason I am asking is because I had thought it was restricted to admin and higher, but accross multiple penetration tests and different versions of windows, I have in the past been able to obtain LSA Secrets without getting local admin first, sometimes while logged in via RDP. Now, is this because my user had admin access and I didn't realize it? Is that the only possibility? Or are earlier versions of Windows less restricted in allowing access to LSA Secrets? windows share|improve this question asked Jul 31 '14 at 15:52 Sonny Ordell 1,44052147 What functions were you using to access the LSA data? –RoraΖ Jul 31 '14 at 17:12 @raz, gsecdump, procdump of lsass.exe, pwdumpx etc... –Sonny Ordell Jul 31 '14 at 23:56 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote You can dump lassas direcly from task manager or use procdump,in this case you are a local administrator on machine but you have not full admin token,i.e task manager is not running as administrator on windows 7 and you did not invoke UAC (consent.exe),then you can use mimikatz to grab LSA secrets.Use this link it is
