ditjson is a fork of dumpntds. Unlike the original tool, the purpose it to generate JSON files in order to help integration with other tools.
This fork updates the underlying framework to .NET 8.0 and uses NuGet packages rather than deploying dependencies as a part of repository. It is possible to publish as a single-file. The trimmed version's size is around 20MB.
The output is a single-file JSON export. The JSON export is opinionated and ignores null values to minimize the exported JSON file size.
N.B. Thanks to dotnet 8.0, it should run cross-platform. But it has not been tested on Linux and MacOS platforms.

--version Display version information.Extract the ntds.dit file from the host and run using the following:
ditjson -n path\to\ntds.dit\file
This will process only datatable and link_table.
Once the process has been completed it will have generated two output files in the application directory:
- ntds.json
Extract the ntds.dit file from the host and run using the following:
ditjson -n path\to\ntds.dit\file -t datatable link_table sd_table
This will process datatable, link_table and sd_table. Mind that it is space-separated.
Extract the ntds.dit file from the host and run using the following:
ditjson -n path\to\ntds.dit\file -t *
This will process all tables inside ntds.dit file. Beware of the size.
