Dump Credential Manager using keymgr.dll and rundll32.exe

Product information

Updated

This test executes the exported function `KRShowKeyMgr` located in `keymgr.dll` using `rundll32.exe`. It opens a window that allows to export stored Windows credentials from the credential manager to a file (`.crd` by default). The file can then be retrieved and imported on an attacker-controlled computer to list the credentials get the passwords. The only limitation is that it requires a CTRL+ALT+DELETE input from the attacker, which can be achieve multiple ways (e.g. a custom implant with remote control capabilities, enabling RDP, etc.).

    Dump credentials from memory using Gsecdump.

    Upon successful execution, you should see domain\username's followed by two 32 character hashes.

    If you see output that says "compat: error: failed to create child process", execution was likely blocked by Anti-Virus. 
    You will receive only error output if you do not run this test from an elevated context (run as administrator)

    If you see a message saying "The system cannot find the path specified", try using the get-prereq_commands to download and install Gsecdump first.
