pypykatz is a Python implementation of Mimikatz.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Cross-platform support – all commands have a “live” and a normal version where applicable. The “live” version will use the current system and only works on Windows. The normal commands are platform independent. Can be used as a library for your projects.
- LSASS processing – parse the secrets hidden in the LSASS process. This is just like mimikatz’s sekurlsa:: but with different commands. The main difference here is that all the parsing logic is separated from the data source, so if you define a new reader object you can basically perform the parsing of LSASS from anywhere.
- Currently supported data sources:
- live – reads the LSASS porcess’ memory directly
- minidump – processes a minidump file created by dumping the LSASS process
- rekall (volatility fork) – processes basically ANY windows memory dumps that rekall can parse
- pcileech – not supported anymore
- Currently supported data sources:
- Registry processing:
- Parses the registry hives to obtain stroed credentials, like NT and LM hashes, domain cached credentials (DCC/DCC2) and LSA secrets.
- Currently supported data sources:
-
- live – has two techniques to parse live registry. First it’s in-memory doesn’t touch disk, the second is dumping the hives and parsing them with the offline parser
- offline (hive files)
-
- DPAPI functions – MASTERKEY/BLOB/VAULT/CREDENTIAL.
