Dependencies
| Library | Version | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| volatility3 | >=2.0 | Memory forensics framework (invoked via subprocess) |
| pypykatz | >=0.6 | Python Mimikatz for LSASS credential extraction |
CLI Usage
python scripts/agent.py \
--dump /cases/case-001/memory.raw \
--output-dir /cases/case-001/analysis/ \
--output credential_report.json
Functions
verify_dump(dump_path) -> dict
Checks file existence, computes size and SHA-256 of first 1MB for integrity.
run_vol3(dump_path, plugin, extra_args) -> str
Executes a volatility3 plugin via subprocess with 5-minute timeout. Returns stdout.
get_os_info(dump_path) -> dict
Runs windows.info to identify OS version and build from the memory image.
find_lsass_pid(dump_path) -> int
Runs windows.pslist and locates the LSASS process PID.
extract_hashdump(dump_path) -> list
Runs windows.hashdump to extract SAM database NTLM hashes for local accounts.
extract_lsadump(dump_path) -> list
Runs windows.lsadump to extract LSA secrets (service account passwords).
extract_cachedump(dump_path) -> list
Runs windows.cachedump to extract DCC2 cached domain credential hashes.
run_pypykatz(dump_path, output_dir) -> dict
Invokes pypykatz in JSON mode against LSASS minidump or full memory image.
parse_pypykatz_creds(pypykatz_data) -> list
Parses pypykatz JSON output into structured credential list with NTLM, Kerberos, WDigest, DPAPI.
search_cloud_keys(dump_path) -> list
Uses windows.strings to find AWS keys, JWT tokens, and auth strings in memory.
generate_report(dump_path, output_dir) -> dict
Orchestrates all extraction steps and compiles the final report with summary and actions.
