What advantage does NinjaCopy offer over Volume Shadow Copy methods when extracting the NTDS.dit file, especially regarding log generation?

NinjaCopy, part of the PowerSploit framework, does not rely on the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), so it avoids generating Event ID 7036 logs that VSS operations typically produce. This makes it a stealthier option for extracting the NTDS.dit file during domain penetration. However, note that NinjaCopy requires administrative privileges and may be detected by advanced security solutions.
