Tool release: extract Windows credentials from registry hives



CredDump is a new tool implemented entirely in Python that is capable of extracting:

    * LM and NT hashes (SYSKEY protected)
    * Cached domain passwords
    * LSA secrets

It has no dependencies on any part of Windows, and operates directly on registry hive files. It is licensed under the GPL and intended to be easy to read, so you can find out how various Windows obfuscation algorithms work by reading the code. (I will also be posting a series of articles explaining the algorithms in detail on my blog in the coming weeks).

You can download the tool at:
http://code.google.com/p/creddump/

Or read a more detailed introduction at:

CredDump is based on the hard work of many people, so please to read the credits section in the README.

Cheers,
Brendan
