This is a fork of Whisker FindCraftedMsDSKeyCredential used that distro to gain access and parse msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute

Whisker is a C# tool for taking over Active Directory user and computer accounts by manipulating their msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute, effectively adding "Shadow Credentials" to the target account.

This tool is based on code from DSInternals by Michael Grafnetter (@MGrafnetter).

For this attack to succeed, the environment must have a Domain Controller running at least Windows Server 2016, and the Domain Controller must have a server authentication certificate to allow for PKINIT Kerberos authentication.

More details are available at the post Shadow Credentials: Abusing Key Trust Account Mapping for Takeover.

• /target:<samAccountName>: Required. Set the target name. Computer objects should end with a '$' sign.

• /domain:<FQDN>: Optional. Set the target Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). If not provided, will try to resolve the FQDN of the current user.

• /dc:<IP/HOSTNAME>: Optional. Set the target Domain Controller (DC). If not provided, will try to target the Primary Domain Controller (PDC).

• /path:<PATH>: Optional. Set the path to store the generated self-signed certificate for authentication. If not provided, the certificate will be printed as a Base64 blob.

• /password:<PASWORD>: Optional. Set the password for the stored self-signed certificate. If not provided, a random password will be generated.

Example: Whisker.exe add /target:computername$ /domain:constoso.local /dc:dc1.contoso.local /path:C:\path\to\file.pfx /password:P@ssword1

• /target:<samAccountName>: Required. Set the target name. Computer objects should end with a '$' sign.

• /deviceID:<GUID>: Required. Set the DeviceID of the value to remove from the attribute msDS-KeyCredentialLink of the target object. Must be a valid GUID.

• /domain:<FQDN>: Optional. Set the target Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). If not provided, will try to resolve the FQDN of the current user.

• /dc:<IP/HOSTNAME>: Optional. Set the target Domain Controller (DC). If not provided, will try to target the Primary Domain Controller (PDC).

Example: Whisker.exe remove /target:computername$ /domain:constoso.local /dc:dc1.contoso.local /remove:2de4643a-2e0b-438f-a99d-5cb058b3254b

• /target:<samAccountName>: Required. Set the target name. Computer objects should end with a '$' sign.

• /domain:<FQDN>: Optional. Set the target Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). If not provided, will try to resolve the FQDN of the current user.

• /dc:<IP/HOSTNAME>: Optional. Set the target Domain Controller (DC). If not provided, will try to target the Primary Domain Controller (PDC).

Example: Whisker.exe clear /target:computername$ /domain:constoso.local /dc:dc1.contoso.local

⚠️ Warning: Clearing the msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute of accounts configured for passwordless authentication will cause disruptions.

• /target:<samAccountName>: Required. Set the target name. Computer objects should end with a '$' sign.

• /domain:<FQDN>: Optional. Set the target Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). If not provided, will try to resolve the FQDN of the current user.

• /dc:<IP/HOSTNAME>: Optional. Set the target Domain Controller (DC). If not provided, will try to target the Primary Domain Controller (PDC).

Example: Whisker.exe list /target:computername$ /domain:constoso.local /dc:dc1.contoso.local
