Windows - DPAPI
On Windows, credentials saved in the Windows Credentials Manager are encrypted using Microsoft's Data Protection API and stored as "blob" files in user AppData folder.
Summary
Data Protection API
- Outside of a domain: the user's
password hashis used to encrypt these "blobs". - Inside a domain: the
domain controller's master keyis used to encrypt these blobs.
With the extracted private key of the domain controller, it is possible to decrypt all the blobs, and therefore to recover all the secrets recorded in the Windows identification manager of all the work
stations in the domain.

DPAPI LocalMachine Context
The LocalMachine context is used to protect data that is intended to be shared across different users or services on a single machine. This means that any user or service running on the machine can access the protected data with the appropriate credentials.
In contrast, the CurrentUser context is used to protect data that is intended to be accessed only by the user who encrypted it, and cannot be accessed by other users or services on the same machine.

Hekatomb - Steal all credentials on domain
Processus-Thief/Hekatomb is a python script that connects to LDAP directory to retrieve all computers and users informations. Then it will download all DPAPI blob of all users from all computers. Finally, it will extract domain controller private key through RPC uses it to decrypt all credentials.
pip3 install hekatomb
