Syntax

Examples

LUID Information

LUID Characteristics:
  • Unique identifier for each logon session
  • Assigned by Local Security Authority (LSA)

  • Used for session-specific operations
Session Types:
  • Interactive logons (user desktop sessions)
  • Network logons (remote authentication)
  • Service logons (service account sessions)
  • System sessions (SYSTEM account)

Use Cases

Operational Context:
  • Identify current session for ticket operations
  • Target specific sessions for credential extraction
  • Understand session context for privilege operations
  • Plan cross-session ticket injection
Session Targeting:
  • Use LUID for targeted dump operations
  • Specify session for ticket injection
  • Identify sessions for monitoring
  • Plan session-specific operations

Session Context

LUID Significance:
  • Each logon creates unique LUID
  • Sessions maintain separate credential caches
  • Cross-session operations require elevation
  • LUID persists for session lifetime
Common LUID Values:
  • 0x3e7: SYSTEM session
  • 0x3e4: LOCAL SERVICE session
  • 0x3e5: NETWORK SERVICE session
  • Higher values: User sessions
  • logonsession - Enumerate all logon sessions
  • dump - Extract tickets from specific LUID
  • ptt - Inject tickets into specific LUID
  • klist - List tickets for specific LUID
