Esentutl Copying Sensitive Credential Files
This rule detects the use of 'esentutl.exe' to copy sensitive files containing credential data, such as the Security Account Manager (SAM) database or the NTDS.dit file. It specifically looks for command-line arguments indicative of Volume Shadow Copy operations or direct paths to known sensitive files within the 'config', 'repair', or 'windows\ntds' directories.
