## What it is
mimikittenz is a post-exploitation PowerShell tool that uses the Windows ReadProcessMemory() function to extract plain-text passwords and other sensitive data from running process memory at user-level privileges. It supports regex-based extraction of credentials from webmail, VPN, development, and cloud services, plus custom targets.

## Use cases
- extract plain-text passwords from browser process memory
- harvest credentials during post-exploitation without admin privileges
- pull TRACK2 credit card data from POS process memory
- extract PII and encryption keys from running processes
- add custom regex patterns to scrape specific services from memory
- red team engagement credential gathering on Windows targets

## When to choose
- you need user-level (non-admin) credential extraction on Windows
- you want regex-based scraping of sensitive data from live process memory
- you are performing authorized red team or penetration testing on Windows

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with active security updates
- you require a permissively licensed tool for commercial redistribution
- you target non-Windows platforms
- you need stealth against modern EDR which detects memory-scraping techniques

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, osint
- domain: security, penetration-testing
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: post-exploitation, powershell, memory-extraction, credential-harvesting, red-team, readprocessmemory
