The LaZagne Project !!!

Description

The LaZagne project is back !!!

LaZagne uses an internal Windows function called CryptUnprotectData to decrypt user passwords. This API should be called on the victim user session, otherwise, it does not work. If the computer has not been started (when the analysis is realized on an offline mounted disk), or if we do not want to drop a binary on the remote host, no passwords can be retrieved.

LaZagneForensic has been created to avoid this problem. This work has been mainly inspired by the awesome work done by Jean-Michel Picod and Elie Bursztein for DPAPICK and Francesco Picasso for Windows DPAPI laboratory.

Note: The main problem is that to decrypt these passwords, the user Windows passwords is needed.

Installation

• Requires python2 (Not compatible with python3)
• Requires pip2: if not installed :

  sudo wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
  sudo python2 ./get-pip.py

sudo apt install python2-dev
pip2 install markerlib
pip2 install distribute
pip2 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

First way - Dump configuration files from the remote host

• Using the powershell script

PS C:\Users\test\Desktop> Import-Module .\dump.ps1
PS C:\Users\test\Desktop> Dump
Folder dump created successfully !

• Using the python script

python dump.py

• Launch Lazagne with password if you have it

python laZagneForensic.py all -remote /tmp/dump -password 'ZapataVive'

• Launch Lazagne without password

python laZagneForensic.py all -remote /tmp/dump

Second way - Mount a disk on your filesystem

• The file should be mounted on your filesystem

test:~$ ls /tmp/disk/

• Launch Lazagne with password if you have it

python laZagneForensic.py all -local /tmp/disk -password 'ZapataVive'

• Launch Lazagne without password

python laZagneForensic.py all -local /tmp/disk

Note: Use -v for verbose mode and -vv for debug mode.

Supported software

Note: Check the following image to understand which passwords you could decrypt without needed the user windows password. All credentials found will be tested as Windows password in case of the user re-uses the same password.
