mimikatz "privilege::debug" "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" exit

Run mimikatz against the test host's LSASS, the definitive validation that the EDR detects real credential dumping.

Run it in the purple team lab when you want definitive validation of dump detection: mimikatz with sekurlsa::logonpasswords is the real attack — the EDR must detect it (by behavior, signature, or lsass access) and the team verifies the alert. This is validation with the attacker's actual tool: atomics simulate, mimikatz is the original. In purple teaming, final credential dumping validation is done with mimikatz (or equivalent variants) on the test host — the detection that withstands mimikatz is the one that withstands the real attack.

Do not run it outside the lab: mimikatz is the quintessential dumping tool — the lab EDR may block it (validation includes blocking) and the SOC may treat it as a real incident. The isolated test host is the place. And note: modern EDR detects mimikatz by signature and behavior — validation measures both layers; the results 'detected by signature' and 'detected by behavior' are recorded separately. Execution requires privileges (admin/SYSTEM) and unpatched mimikatz versions fail against protected lsass (PPL): the 'could not execute' result is not a validation of detection. Clean up the dump and logs when done.
