SharpDPAPI is a C# port of some DPAPI functionality from @gentilkiwi’s Mimikatz project.

I did not come up with this logic, it is simply a port from Mimikatz in order to better understand the process and operationalize it to fit our workflow.

The SharpChrome subproject is an adaptation of work from @gentilkiwi and @djhohnstein, specifically his SharpChrome project. However, this version of SharpChrome uses a different version of the C# SQL library that supports lockless opening. SharpChrome is built as a separate project in SharpDPAPI because of the size of the SQLite library utilized.

Both Chrome and newer Chromium-based Edge browsers can be triaged with SharpChrome.

SharpChrome also uses an minimized version of @AArnott’s BCrypt P/Invoke code released under the MIT License.

If you’re unfamiliar with DPAPI, check out this post for more background information. For more information on Credentials and Vaults in regards to DPAPI, check out Benjamin’s wiki entry on the subject.

@harmj0y is the primary author of this port.

Operational Usage

SharpDPAPI

One of the goals with SharpDPAPI is to operationalize Benjamin’s DPAPI work in a way that fits with our workflow.

How exactly you use the toolset will depend on what phase of an engagement you’re in. In general this breaks into “have I compromised the domain or not”.

If domain admin (or equivalent) privileges have been obtained, the domain DPAPI backup key can be retrieved with the backupkey command (or with Mimikatz). This domain private key never changes, and can decrypt any DPAPI masterkeys for domain users. This means, given a domain DPAPI backup key, an attacker can decrypt masterkeys for any domain user that can then be used to decrypt any Vault/Credentials/Chrome Logins/other DPAPI blobs/etc. The key retrieved from the backupkey command can be used with the masterkeys, credentials, vaults, rdg, or triage commands.

If DA privileges have not been achieved, using Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command will retrieve DPAPI masterkey {GUID}:SHA1 mappings of any loaded master keys (user and SYSTEM) on a given system (tip: running dpapi::cache after key extraction will give you a nice table). If you change these keys to a {GUID1}:SHA1 {GUID2}:SHA1... type format, they can be supplied to the credentials, vaults, rdg, or triage commands. This lets you triage all Credential files/Vaults on a system for any user who’s currently logged in, withou t having to do file-by-file decrypts.

For decrypting RDG/RDCMan.settings files with the rdg command, the /unprotect flag will use CryptUnprotectData() to decrypt any saved RDP passwords, if the command is run from the user context who saved the passwords. This can be done from an unprivileged context, without the need to touch LSASS. For why this approach isn’t used for credentials/vaults, see Benjamin’s documentation here.

For machine-specific DPAPI triage, the machinemasterkeys|machinecredentials|machinevaults|machinetriage commands will do the machine equivalent of user DPAPI triage. If in an elevated context (that is, you need local administrative rights), SharpDPAPI will elevate to SYSTEM privileges to retrieve the “DPAPI_SYSTEM” LSA secret, which is then used to decrypt any discovered machine DPAPI masterkeys. These keys are then used as lookup tables for machine credentials/vaults/etc.

SharpChrome

SharpChrome is a Chrome-specific implementation of SharpDPAPI capable of cookies andlogins decryption/triage. It is built as a separate project in SharpDPAPI because of the size of the SQLite library utilized.

Since Chrome Cookies/Login Data are saved without CRYPTPROTECT_SYSTEM, CryptUnprotectData() is back on the table. If SharpChrome is run from an unelevated contect, it will attempt to decrypt any logins/cookies for the current user using CryptUnprotectData(). A /pvk:[BASE64|file.pvk], {GUID}:SHA1 lookup table, /password:X, or /mkfile:FILE of {GUID}:SHA1 values can also be used to decrypt values. Also, the C# SQL library used (with a few modifications) supports lockless opening, meaning that Chrome does not have to be closed/target files do not have to be copied to another location.

If Chrome is version 80+, an AES state key is stored in AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State - this key is protected with DPAPI, so we can use CryptUnprotectData()/pvk/masterkey lookup tables to decrypt it. This AES key is then used to protect new cookie and login data entries. This is also the process when /browser:edge or /browser:brave is specified, for newer Chromium-based Edge browser triage.

By default, cookies and logins are displayed as a csv - this can be changed with /format:table for table output, and /format:json for cookies specifically. The json option outputs cookies in a json format that can be imported into the EditThisCookie Chrome extension for easy reuse.

The cookies command also has /cookie:REGEX and /url:REGEX arguments to only return cookie names or urls matching the supplied regex. This is useful with /format:json to easily clone access to specific sites.

Specific cookies/logins/statekey files can be specified with /target:X, and a user folder can be specified with /target:C:\Users\USER\ for any triage command.

SharpDPAPI Commands

User Triage

masterkeys

The masterkeys command will search for any readable user masterkey files and decrypt them using a supplied domain DPAPI backup key. It will return a set of masterkey {GUID}:SHA1 mappings.

The domain backup key can be in base64 form (/pvk:BASE64...) or file form (/pvk:key.pvk).

...(snip)...  

credentials

The credentials command will search for Credential files and either a) decrypt them with any “{GUID}:SHA1” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) use a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys (a lamasterkeys), or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys, which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

A specific credential file (or folder of credentials) can be specified with /target:FILE or /target:C:\Folder\. If a file is specified, {GUID}:SHA1 values are required, and if a folder is specified either a) {GUID}:SHA1 values must be supplied or b) the folder must contain DPAPI masterkeys and a /pvk domain backup key must be supplied.

If run from an elevated context, Credential files for ALL users will be triaged, otherwise only Credential files for the current user will be processed.

vaults

The vaults command will search for Vaults and either a) decrypt them with any “{GUID}:SHA1” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) use a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys (a lamasterkeys), or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys, which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

The Policy.vpol folder in the Vault folder is decrypted with any supplied DPAPI keys to retrieve the associated AES decryption keys, which are then used to decrypt any associated .vcrd files.

A specific vault folder can be specified with /target:C:\Folder\. In this case, either a) {GUID}:SHA1 values must be supplied or b) the folder must contain DPAPI masterkeys and a /pvk domain backup key must be supplied.

rdg

The rdg command will search for RDCMan.settings files for the current user (or if elevated, all users) and either a) decrypt them with any “{GUID}:SHA1” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) use a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys (a lamasterkeys), or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

The /unprotect flag will use CryptUnprotectData() to decrypt any saved RDP passwords, if the command is run from the user context who saved the passwords. This can be done from an unprivileged context, without the need to touch LSASS. For why this approach isn’t used for credentials/vaults, see Benjamin’s documentation here.

A specific RDCMan.settings file, .RDC file (or folder of .RDG files) can be specified with /target:FILE or /target:C:\Folder\. If a file is specified, {GUID}:SHA1 values (or /unprotect) are required, and if a folder is specified either a) {GUID}:SHA1 values must be supplied or b) the folder must contain DPAPI masterkeys and a /pvk domain backup key must be supplied.

This command will decrypt any saved password information from both the RDCMan.settings file and any .RDG files referenced by the RDCMan.settings file.

keepass

The keepass command will search for KeePass ProtectedUserKey.bin files for the current user (or if elevated, all users) and either a) decrypt them with any “{GUID}:SHA1” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) use a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys (a lamasterkeys), or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

The /unprotect flag will use CryptUnprotectData() to decrypt the key bytes, if the command is run from the user context who saved the passwords. This can be done from an unprivileged context, without the need to touch LSASS. For why this approach isn’t used for credentials/vaults, see Benjamin’s documentation here.

A specific ProtectedUserKey.bin file, .RDC file (or folder of .RDG files) can be specified with /target:FILE or /target:C:\Folder\. If a file is specified, {GUID}:SHA1 values (or /unprotect) are required, and if a folder is specified either a) {GUID}:SHA1 values must be supplied or b) the folder must contain DPAPI masterkeys and a /pvk domain backup key must be supplied.

Decrypted key file bytes can be used with the modified KeePass version in KeeThief.

certificates

The certificates command will search user encrypted DPAPI certificate private keys a) decrypt them with any “{GUID}:SHA1” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) use a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys (a lamasterkeys), or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys, which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

A specific certificiate can be specified with /target:C:\Folder\. In this case, either a) {GUID}:SHA1 values must be supplied or b) the folder must contain DPAPI masterkeys and a /pvk domain backup key must be supplied.

By default, only private keys linkable to an associated installed certificate are displayed. The /showall command will display ALL decrypted private keys.

Use the /cng flag for CNG private keys (default is capi).

machinevaults

The machinevaults command will elevated to SYSTEM to retrieve the DPAPI_SYSTEM LSA secret which is then used to decrypt any found machine DPAPI masterkeys. These keys are then used to decrypt any found machine Vaults.

Local administrative rights are needed (so we can retrieve the DPAPI_SYSTEM LSA secret).

certificates /machine

The certificates /machine command will use the machine certificate store to look for decryptable machine certificate private keys. /mkfile:X and {GUID}:masterkey are usable with the /target:\[file|folder\] command, otherwise SharpDPAPI will elevate to SYSTEM to retrieve the DPAPI_SYSTEM LSA secret which is then used to decrypt any found machine DPAPI masterkeys. These keys are then used to decrypt any found machine system encrypted DPAPI private certificate keys.

By default, only private keys linkable to an associated installed certificate are displayed. The /showall command will display ALL decrypted private keys.

Local administrative rights are needed (so we can retrieve the DPAPI_SYSTEM LSA secret).

machinetriage

The machinetriage command runs the user machinecredentials, machinevaults, and certificates /machine commands.

Misc

ps

The ps command will describe/decrypt an exported PSCredential clixml. A /target:FILE.xml must be supplied.

The command will a) decrypt the file with any “{GUID}:SHA1” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) use a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys (a la masterkeys), or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys, which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

The /unprotect flag will use CryptUnprotectData() to decrypt the credenial .xml without masterkeys needed, if the command is run from the user context who saved the passwords. This can be done from an unprivileged context, without the need to touch LSASS. For why this approach isn’t used for credentials/vaults, see Benjamin’s documentation here.

Decrypt an exported credential .xml using CryptProtectData() (the /unprotect flag):

blob

The blob command will describe/decrypt a DPAPI blob. A /target:<BASE64|blob.bin> must be supplied.

The command will a) decrypt the blob with any “{GUID}:SHA1” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) use a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys (a la masterkeys), or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys, which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

The /unprotect flag will use CryptUnprotectData() to decrypt the blob without masterkeys needed, if the command is run from the user context who saved the passwords. This can be done from an unprivileged context, without the need to touch LSASS. For why this approach isn’t used for credentials/vaults, see Benjamin’s documentation here.

backupkey

The backupkey command will retrieve the domain DPAPI backup key from a domain controller using theLsaRetrievePrivateData API approach from Mimikatz. This private key can then be used to decrypt master key blobs for any user on the domain. And even better, the key never changes ;)

Domain admin (or equivalent) rights are needed to retrieve the key from a remote domain controller.

The /nowrap flag will prevent wrapping the base64 key on display.

This base64 key blob can be decoded to a binary .pvk file that can then be used with Mimikatz’ dpapi::masterkey /in:MASTERKEY /pvk:backupkey.pvk module, or used in blob/file /pvk:X form with themasterkeys,credentials, orvault SharpDPAPI commands.

By default, SharpDPAPI will try to determine the current domain controller via the DsGetDcName API call. A server can be specified with /server:COMPUTER.domain.com. If you want the key saved to disk instead of output as a base64 blob, use /file:key.pvk.

Retrieve the DPAPI backup key for the current domain controller:

search

The search comand will search for potential DPAPI blobs in the registry, files, folders, and base64 blobs. Usage:

SharpDPAPI.exe search /type:registry [/path:HKLM\path\to\key] [/showErrors]  
SharpDPAPI.exe search /type:folder /path:C:\path\to\folder [/maxBytes:<numOfBytes>] [/showErrors]  
SharpDPAPI.exe search /type:file /path:C:\path\to\file [/maxBytes:<numOfBytes>]  
SharpDPAPI.exe search /type:base64 [/base:<base64 string>]  

The search command works by searching for the following bytes, which represent the header (Version + DPAPI provider GUID) of DPAPI blob structure:

0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xD0, 0x8C, 0x9D, 0xDF, 0x01, 0x15, 0xD1, 0x11, 0x8C, 0x7A, 0x00, 0xC0, 0x4F, 0xC2, 0x97, 0xEB  

The search command has different arguments depending on the data type being scanned. To designate the data type, use the /type argument specifying registry, folder, file, or base64. If the /type argument is not present, the command will search the registry by default.

When searching the registry with no other arguments, the command will recursively search the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_USERS hives. Use /path parameter to specify a root to key to search from (e.g. /path:HKLM\Software) and use the /showErrors argument to display errors that occuring during enumeration.

When searching a file or folder, specify a path with /path:C:\Path\to\file\or\folder and optionally use /maxBytes:<int> to specify the number of bytes to read from each file (default: 1024 bytes). The command will read the bytes from the beginning of the file and search for DPAPI blobs. Use /showErrors to display an errors that occur during enumeration.

When searching a base64 blob, specify the base64-encoded bytes to scan with the /base64:<base64 str> parameter.

SharpChrome Commands

logins

The logins command will search for Chrome ‘Login Data’ files and decrypt the saved login passwords. If execution is in an unelevated contect, CryptProtectData() will automatically be used to try to decrypt values. If /browser:edge is specified, the newer Chromium-based Edge browser is triaged.

Login Data files can also be decrypted with a) any “{GUID}:SHA1 {GUID}:SHA1 …” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys, or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys, which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

A specific Login Data file can be specified with /target:FILE. A remote /server:SERVER can be specified if a /pvk is also supplied. If triaging newer Chrome/Edge instances, a /statekey:X AES state key can be specified.

By default, logins are displayed in a csv format. This can be modified with /format:table for table output. Also, by default only non-null password value entries are displayed, but all values can be displayed with /showall.

If run from an elevated context, Login Data files for ALL users will be triaged, otherwise only Login Data files for the current user will be processed.

cookies

The cookies command will search for Chrome ‘Cookies’ files and decrypt cookie values. If execution is in an unelevated contect, CryptProtectData() will automatically be used to try to decrypt values. If /browser:edge is specified, the newer Chromium-based Edge browser is triaged.

Cookie files can also be decrypted with a) any “{GUID}:SHA1 {GUID}:SHA1 …” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys, or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys, which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

A specific Cookies file can be specified with /target:FILE. A remote /server:SERVER can be specified if a /pvk is also supplied. If triaging newer Chrome/Edge instances, a /statekey:X AES state key can be specified.

By default, cookies are displayed in a csv format. This can be modified with /format:table for table output, or /format:json for output importable by EditThisCookie. Also, by default only non-expired cookie value entries are displayed, but all values can be displayed with /showall.

If run from an elevated context, Cookie files for ALL users will be triaged, otherwise only Cookie files for the current user will be processed.

The cookies command also has /cookie:REGEX and /url:REGEX arguments to only return cookie names or urls matching the supplied regex. This is useful with /format:json to easily clone access to specific sites.

statekeys

The statekeys command will search for Chrome/Edge AES statekey files (i.e. ‘AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State’ and ‘AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Local State’) and decrypts them using the same type of arguments that can be supplied for cookies and logins.

State keys can also be decrypted with a) any “{GUID}:SHA1 {GUID}:SHA1 …” masterkeys passed, b) a /mkfile:FILE of one or more {GUID}:SHA1 masterkey mappings, c) a supplied DPAPI domain backup key (/pvk:BASE64... or /pvk:key.pvk) to first decrypt any user masterkeys, or d) a /password:X to decrypt any user masterkeys, which are then used as a lookup decryption table. DPAPI GUID mappings can be recovered with Mimikatz’ sekurlsa::dpapi command.

If run from an elevated context, state keys for ALL users will be triaged, otherwise only state keys for the current user will be processed.

backupkey

The backupkey command will retrieve the domain DPAPI backup key from a domain controller using theLsaRetrievePrivateData API approach from Mimikatz. This private key can then be used to decrypt master key blobs for any user on the domain. And even better, the key never changes ;)

Domain admin (or equivalent) rights are needed to retrieve the key from a remote domain controller.

The /nowrap flag will prevent wrapping the base64 key on display.

This base64 key blob can be decoded to a binary .pvk file that can then be used with Mimikatz’ dpapi::masterkey /in:MASTERKEY /pvk:backupkey.pvk module, or used in blob/file /pvk:X form with themasterkeys,credentials, orvault SharpDPAPI commands.

By default, SharpDPAPI will try to determine the current domain controller via the DsGetDcName API call. A server can be specified with /server:COMPUTER.domain.com. If you want the key saved to disk instead of output as a base64 blob, use /file:key.pvk.

Compile Instructions

We are not planning on releasing binaries for SharpDPAPI, so you will have to compile yourself :)

SharpDPAPI has been built against .NET 3.5 and is compatible with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition. Simply open up the project .sln, choose “Release”, and build.

Targeting other .NET versions

SharpDPAPI’s default build configuration is for .NET 3.5, which will fail on systems without that version installed. To target SharpDPAPI for .NET 4 or 4.5, open the .sln solution, go to Project ->SharpDPAPI Properties and change the “Target framework” to another version.

Sidenote: Running SharpDPAPI Through PowerShell

If you want to run SharpDPAPI in-memory through a PowerShell wrapper, first compile the SharpDPAPI and base64-encode the resulting assembly:

[Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("C:\Temp\SharpDPAPI.exe")) | Out-File -Encoding ASCII C:\Temp\SharpDPAPI.txt  

SharpDPAPI can then be loaded in a PowerShell script with the following (where “aa…” is replaced with the base64-encoded SharpDPAPI assembly string):

$SharpDPAPIAssembly = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load([Convert]::FromBase64String("aa..."))  

The Main() method and any arguments can then be invoked as follows:

[SharpDPAPI.Program]::Main("machinemasterkeys")  

Sidenote Sidenote: Running SharpDPAPI Over PSRemoting

Due to the way PSRemoting handles output, we need to redirect stdout to a string and return that instead. Luckily, SharpDPAPI has a function to help with that.

If you follow the instructions in Sidenote: Running SharpDPAPI Through PowerShell to create a SharpDPAPI.ps1, append something like the following to the script:

[SharpDPAPI.Program]::MainString("machinemasterkeys")  

You should then be able to run SharpDPAPI over PSRemoting with something like the following:

$s = New-PSSession dc.theshire.local  
Invoke-Command -Session $s -FilePath C:\Temp\SharpDPAPI.ps1  

Alternatively, SharpDPAPI /consoleoutfile:C:\FILE.txt argument will redirect all output streams to the specified file.
