Diskpart is a Windows command-line utility that is used to manage the computer’s drives, which includes disks, partitions, volumes and virtual hard disks.[1]
Adversaries may abuse Diskpart to perform discovery and destructive actions on a system’s storage. For example, adversaries have been observed using Diskpart to conduct Discovery techniques to enumerate disks and volumes to gather information about the host environment, and to execute commands such as clean all to remove partition information and overwrite data across disks, resulting in data destruction.[2]

MITRE reference S9002
Diskpart can show information about the selected disk, partition, volume, or virtual hard disk (VHD).5
If executed with elevated privileges, Diskpart can list all volumes, including virtual disks.6
Diskpart can be used to display, set, or clear attributes of a disk or volume.7
Diskpart can be used to delete a partition or a volume.8 Diskpart can also be used to remove all partitions or volume formatting from the selected disk.9
Standing S9002
Reach is how much of ATT&CK this tool touches. Coverage is how well defended each thing it does is, as a median per technique rather than a total — a total would just restate the reach. Each figure is ranked against all 825 ATT&CK software entries only where that population actually spreads. Where most of the population shares one value, a percentile would rank the tie instead of the entity, so the raw value is shown and no rank is claimed.

23rd percentile · 77% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have more Enterprise techniques.

32nd percentile · 68% of 825 ATT&CK software entries have more tactics spanned.
Threat groups061% tie · 22 values
61% of the population shares a single value across only 22 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.

85% of the population shares a single value across only 8 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.
