## What it is
SharpKatz is a C# port of mimikatz's credential extraction commands, including sekurlsa::logonpasswords, sekurlsa::ekeys, and lsadump::dcsync. It retrieves credentials from Windows authentication providers, dumps SAM databases, performs pass-the-hash, and exports Active Directory data.

## Use cases
- dump windows logon credentials from memory
- extract kerberos encryption keys
- perform dcsync against a domain controller
- pass-the-hash to create a process as another user
- dump sam database from shadow copies
- enumerate volume shadow copies

## When to choose
- you need a C#/.NET alternative to mimikatz for red team operations
- you want to run credential dumping via execute-assembly in memory
- you need dcsync or pass-the-hash functionality without the full mimikatz binary

## When to avoid
- you need the full mimikatz feature set beyond the ported commands
- you are not on a Windows/.NET-capable target
- you need a maintained tool with an explicit license and active development

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance

- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
