🔧 Tool: VMkatz
VMkatz is a compact forensic/offensive utility designed to extract Windows secrets directly from virtual machine artifacts without full-disk exfiltration. It targets memory snapshots and offline virtual disks to recover credential material typically harvested by in-guest tools such as mimikatz, but operates against VM files stored on NAS, hypervisors, or virtualization hosts.
What it extracts (concise)
• From memory snapshots (LSASS equivalents): NT/LM hashes (MSV1_0), plaintext where available (WDigest, TsPkg, SSP, LiveSSP), Kerberos keys and tickets (AES/RC4/DES), DPAPI master key cache entries, Credman entries and CloudAP tokens when present.
• From virtual disks (offline): SAM hashes, LSA secrets, cached domain credentials (DCC2), and native NTDS.dit extraction from ESE databases on domain controller disks.Supported inputs and environment
• Common snapshot/disk formats: VMware snapshots (.vmsn + .vmem), VMware virtual disks (.vmdk sparse/flat), VirtualBox saved states (.sav). Additional parsers listed include Hyper‑V and QEMU core dump variants (some untested).
• The project is distributed as a single static binary (~2.5 MB) intended to be run on hosts that can access VM files (NAS, ESXi, Proxmox nodes), enabling credential recovery without transferring multi‑gigabyte images offsite.Technical notes and scope
• Memory parsing implements provider-specific walks (AVL trees, linked lists, hash tables) and falls back to physical-scan strategies for paged entries where applicable.
• NTDS.dit extraction reads the ESE database natively for AD hash recovery; no reliance on external tooling is required for that functionality.
• Several input formats remain marked as untested; results may vary by hypervisor version and snapshot composition.Limitations and operational considerations
• Effectiveness depends on the snapshot content and whether the relevant credential pages are present in the captured artifacts.
• Some providers (e.g., CloudAP, LiveSSP) may be empty or absent on many systems.🔹 VMkatz #ntds.dit #dpapi #vmdk #forensics
