ntdsextract2

This aims to be a replacement of https://github.com/csababarta/ntdsxtract/ by @csababarta.

Why do you write a tool that's already there and working?

  1. ntdsxtract is using Python 2.7, which makes it hard to use on modern systems
  2. There has been no change since a lot of time (the last commit is from February 2016), which suggests that Csaba has other stuff to do at the moment. That's OK. But Windows is changing, and therefore the tools to analyze Windows Systems has to adapt. As I don't like some architectural decisions Csaba has made, I started my own development.
