Classe: Trojan-PSW
Les programmes Trojan-PSW sont conçus pour dérober des informations de compte d'utilisateur telles que les connexions et les mots de passe des ordinateurs infectés. PSW est un acronyme de Password Stealing Ware. Lorsqu'il est lancé, un cheval de Troie PSW recherche les fichiers système qui stockent une série de données confidentielles ou le registre. Si de telles données sont trouvées, le cheval de Troie l'envoie à son «maître». L'email, le ftp, le Web (y compris les données dans une demande), ou d'autres méthodes peuvent être utilisés pour passer les données volées. Certains de ces chevaux de Troie volent également des informations d'enregistrement pour certains logiciels.Plus d'informations

Tactics and Techniques: Mitre*
TA0006
Credential Access
The adversary is trying to steal account names and passwords.
Credential Access consists of techniques for stealing credentials like account names and passwords. Techniques used to get credentials include keylogging or credential dumping. Using legitimate credentials can give adversaries access to systems, make them harder to detect, and provide the opportunity to create more accounts to help achieve their goals.

OS Credential Dumping: LSASS Memory
Adversaries may attempt to access credential material stored in the process memory of the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). After a user logs on, the system generates and stores a variety of credential materials in LSASS process memory. These credential materials can be harvested by an administrative user or SYSTEM and used to conduct Lateral Movement using Use Alternate Authentication Material.
As well as in-memory techniques, the LSASS process memory can be dumped from the target host and analyzed on a local system.
For example, on the target host use procdump:
*
Locally, mimikatz can be run using:
*
*
Built-in Windows tools such as comsvcs.dll can also be used:
*
Windows Security Support Provider (SSP) DLLs are loaded into LSASS process at system start. Once loaded into the LSA, SSP DLLs have access to encrypted and plaintext passwords that are stored in Windows, such as any logged-on user's Domain password or smart card PINs. The SSP configuration is stored in two Registry keys:
The following SSPs can be used to access credentials:
* Msv: Interactive logons, batch logons, and service logons are done through the MSV authentication package.
* Wdigest: The Digest Authentication protocol is designed for use with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Simple Authentication Security Layer (SASL) exchanges.(Citation: TechNet Blogs Credential Protection)
* Kerberos: Preferred for mutual client-server domain authentication in Windows 2000 and later.
* CredSSP: Provides SSO and Network Level Authentication for Remote Desktop Services.(Citation: TechNet Blogs Credential Protection)
As well as in-memory techniques, the LSASS process memory can be dumped from the target host and analyzed on a local system.
For example, on the target host use procdump:
*
procdump -ma lsass.exe lsass_dumpLocally, mimikatz can be run using:
*
sekurlsa::Minidump lsassdump.dmp*

The SSP configuration is stored in two Registry keys:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Security Packages and HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\OSConfig\Security Packages. An adversary may modify these Registry keys to add new SSPs, which will be loaded the next time the system boots, or when the AddSecurityPackage Windows API function is called.(Citation: Graeber 2014)The following SSPs can be used to access credentials:
