kindtime/nosferatuDLL that hooks NTLM and Kerberos authentication in lsass.exe to inject a backdoor hash, enabling persistent authenticated access on Windows systems.
Windows NTLM/Kerberos Authentication Backdoor
First, the DLL is injected into the lsass.exe process, and will begin hooking authentication WinAPI calls. The targeted functions are:
NTLM: NtlmShared!MsvpPasswordValidate()Kerberos: cryptdll!CDLocateCSystem()Kerberos: samsrv!SamIRetrieveMultiplePrimaryCredentials()In the pursuit of not being detected, the hooked functions will call the original first and allow for the normal flow of authentication. Only after seeing that authentication has failed will the hook swap out the actual NTLM hash with the backdoor hash.
nosferatu must be compiled as a 64 bit DLL.
