The Learni story
Founded by passionate learning and innovation experts, Learni's mission is to make professional training accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world. Our team operates in major hubs — London, New York, Boston — and internationally, to support talents and organizations in upskilling.
Don't let this gap widen
Why this program matters
Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.
Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.
Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.
The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.
Program
Module 1Introduction to Mimikatz: history, architecture, and first uses (Windows tools, basic modules)
Discover the origins of Mimikatz, its evolutions, and key components during this immersive first day. Install the tool in a controlled environment, execute your first sekurlsa and lsadump commands to extract credentials, and analyze results through practical exercises on Windows virtual machines. Share experiences, identify initial business risks, and produce a preliminary discovery report to consolidate your digital forensics basics.
Module 2Basic Mimikatz Modules: sekurlsa, kerberos, and crypto (extraction methods, password decryption)
Dive into the sekurlsa and kerberos modules of Mimikatz to dump LSASS and tickets. Practice extracting NTLM, LM hashes, and cleartext passwords in simulated scenarios, use Mimikatz in memory to avoid detection. Test pass-the-hash techniques, analyze outputs with Wireshark, and document each step in a structured deliverable. Strengthen your professional skills through real-world attack cases adapted for beginners.
Module 3Advanced Mimikatz Attacks: overpass-the-hash, wdigest (post-exploitation techniques, privilege escalation)
Explore overpass-the-hash and wdigest attacks with Mimikatz to escalate privileges. Simulate complete attack chains on Active Directory domains, extract Silver and Golden tickets, test persistence via backdoors. Use complementary tools like Impacket, analyze traces left behind, and develop an initial response plan. This hands-on session builds your incident response skills for businesses.
Module 4Mimikatz Detection: Windows logs, EDR, and signatures (SIEM tools, YARA rules, hunting)
Learn to track Mimikatz via Event Logs 4688, Sysmon, and Procmon. Deploy YARA and Sigma rules to detect LSASS injections, configure EDR alerts like Defender or CrowdStrike. Proactively hunt in real logs, simulate Mimikatz attack IOCs, and produce a complete investigation report. Integrate these techniques into your professional malware analysis toolkit.
Module 5Mimikatz Incident Response: mitigation, practical cases, and certification (CTF exercises, forensics deliverables)
Conclude with realistic CTF exercises involving full Mimikatz attack chains. Implement mitigations like Credential Guard and LSA Protection, analyze post-mortem incidents, and write business recommendations. Validate your skills through a practical exam and obtain your certification. Share best practices and consolidate your advancement in digital investigation.

- Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
- Program co-written then validated by your team.
Continuous quality follow-up
Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.
- NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
- Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.
