Extract DPAPI-protected secrets such as credentials and browser data offline and online.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Abusing DPAPI for Credential Access > **Legal Notice:** This skill is for authorized penetration testing, red-team engagements, and educational purposes only. Extracting credentials from systems you do not own or lack explicit written authorization to test is illegal and may violate computer fraud and abuse laws. Always operate within a signed rules-of-engagement and document every action. ## Overview The Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI) is the operating system's built-in symmetric-encryption service that applications use to protect secrets at rest: saved RDP and Windows Credential Manager credentials, web and Wi-Fi credentials in the Credential Vault, browser saved logins and cookies (Chrome/Edge), KeePass keys, certificate private keys, and Scheduled Task passwords. DPAPI derives a per-user (or per-machine) **master key** from the user's password (or the machine account secret), and that master key encrypts individual "DPAPI blobs." The encrypted master keys live under `%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Protect\<SID>\` (user) and `%WINDIR%\System32\Microsoft\Protect\` (machine). …

How to install
mdr add andycungkrinx91/konoha/abusing-dpapi-for-credential-access@sha256:c40816ddec253d2dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
