tomas.kracmar 65e451413e Release v2.4.5: detect explicit Deny ACEs in replication permission check
Test-ReplicationPermissions previously only scanned Allow ACEs, so an
explicit Deny on the DCSync extended rights (common in hardening
baselines that Deny a broad group and Allow only named service
accounts) was invisible to the pre-flight check: it reported
"verified" while Get-ADReplAccount still failed with "Replication
access was denied". The check now flags exactly which right is
blocked and by which identity's Deny ACE.

.SYNOPSIS
Script for extracting NTLM hashes from live AD for further analysis.
.DESCRIPTION
This script will connect to selected domain (defined in ElysiumSettings.txt) using account with AD replication privileges and extract NTLM hashes from all active accounts. It will then compress and encrypt the resulting file, uploads it to designated Azure Storage account, checks for validity and then deletes everything. The hashes are extracted without usernames to minimise the sensitivity of the operation. Encryption is done with AES and passphrase that was defined in environment variable during first run.
