Description
Certutil was used to parse a pfx certificate file.
Attacker's Goals
Attackers want to check pfx details. If details suffice, the correct certificate can be used for authentication, persistence or NTLM extraction.
Investigative actions
- Check if the pfx parsing is legitimate for the user (Testing, IT, etc.).
- Follow further actions done by the user (ex. authentication using certificates).
