The ninjacopy module copies a file from an NTFS partitioned volume by reading the raw volume and parsing the NTFS structures.

This module runs in a foreground and is OPSEC unsafe as it writes on the disk and therefore could be detected by AV/EDR running on the target system.

Note that the ninjacopy module does not need administrative privileges to work properly which means that a normal user can run this module.

This is a list of options that are required by the ninjacopy module:

Agent
Agent to run module on.

Path
The full path of the file to copy (example: c:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit).

ComputerName
An array of computernames to run the script on.

LocalDestination
A file path to copy the file to on the local computer.
