* Red Team Exercises #84 - KslKatz: LSASS Dump via Microsoft-Signed Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD)
* Author: Joas Antonio dos Santos
* Repository: https://github.com/CyberSecurityUP/Red-Team-Exercises
* Original technique: https://github.com/vergamota/KslKatz
* Courses: https://courses.redteamleaders.com/
*
* Description:
* Extracts NT hashes (MSV1_0) and WDigest cleartext passwords from LSASS
* entirely from usermode, using only a Microsoft-signed vulnerable driver
* (KslD.sys) shipped with Windows Defender.
*
* Attack chain:
* 1. Deploy vulnerable KslD.sys (embedded as byte array)
* 2. Modify AllowedProcessName registry value (local admin only)
* 3. Use IOCTL SubCmd 12 → MmCopyMemory() for arbitrary physical reads
* 4. Manual page table walk to translate LSASS virtual → physical addresses
* 5. Locate EPROCESS via SystemHandleInformation (KASLR bypass)
* 6. Extract LSA encryption keys from lsasrv.dll (no LoadLibrary → no ETW)
* 7. Decrypt MSV1_0 hashes (AES-CFB128 / 3DES-CBC) and WDigest passwords
*
* Why PPL doesn't help: PPL (Protected Process Light) only guards usermode
* API access to a process. Physical memory reads bypass it entirely.
*
* Compile: cl /std:c++20 /EHsc kslkatz_lsass_dump.cpp /link ntdll.lib crypt32.lib bcrypt.lib
* Requires: Local administrator privileges
* Tested on: Windows 10/11, Server 2019/2022
