New version of pwdump, and announcing fgdump!

Subject: New version of pwdump, and announcing fgdump!
Date: 22 Dec 2005 20:00:30 -0000
Because we at Foofus networks are generous folks, we've decided to release a 
number of open source tools just in time for Christmas, which we hope some of 
you folks will find useful. This particular announcement covers the two that I 
have been responsible for developing: pwdump6 and fgdump.

PWDump6 (http://www.foofus.net/fizzgig/pwdump)

Based on the wildly popular pwdump3e, it's been updated and modernized a bit to 
suit our needs, and has been useful to other folks in the security assessment 
community as well. It runs very much in a similar fashion as 3e, but has the 
following changes:

- Locates any available, writable share, not just ADMIN$
- Replaces the remote registry method of remote communication with a named pipe 
method
- Eliminates dependency on the CryptoAPI, which appeared to cause certain 
problems for us in rare circumstances
- Marks itself as executable when writing to the LSASS process, thereby 
avoiding some NX problems

If you've had trouble with pwdump crashing some boxen, give pwdump6 a try.


fgdump (http://www.foofus.net/fizzgig/fgdump)

fgdump really started as a simple wrapper around pwdump. Certain AV programs 
reacted poorly to pwdump; the worst cases resulted in an AV solution consuming 
100% of the CPU, requiring a reboot typically. So initially, fgdump simply shut 
down AV before running pwdump, but now it does much more. Major features 
include:

- Support for multiple hosts using text files
- Automatic binding/unbinding to IPC$
- Detection, automatic shutdown and restart of a number of common AV solutions
- Password dumping using pwdump6
- Cached credential dumping using cachedump
- Ability to write results to a log, including summaries

We are using fgdump quite a lot in our assessments, and it is continuing to 
evolve. Next up will be the ability to dump LSA secrets, for example. If you 
tend to forget to stop AV or are looking for a more robust password dumping 
solution, I highly recommend looking at fgdump.

Both tools are GPL licensed and such. I welcome any comments, feedback or 
feature suggestions, as long as they are constructive of course (send to 
fizzgig -AT- foofus -DOT- net, unmangled appropriately). 

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
