DragonCastle is a PoC that combines AutodialDLL lateral movement technique and SSP to scrape NTLM hashes from LSASS process.
Upload a DLL to the target machine. Then it enables remote registry to modify AutodialDLL entry and start/restart BITS service. Svchosts would load our DLL, set again AutodiaDLL to default value and perform a RPC request to force LSASS to load the same DLL as a Security Support Provider. Once the DLL is loaded by LSASS, it would search inside the process memory to extract NTLM hashes and the key/IV.
The DLLMain always returns False so the processes doesn’t keep it.
It only works when RunAsPPL is not enabled. Also I only added support to decrypt 3DES because I am lazy, but should be easy peasy to add code for AES. By the same reason, I only implemented support for next Windows versions:
The signatures/offsets/structs were taken from Mimikatz. If you want to add a new version just check sekurlsa functionality on Mimikatz.

usage: dragoncastle.py [-h] [-u USERNAME] [-p PASSWORD] [-d DOMAIN] [-hashes [LMHASH]:NTHASH] [-no-pass] [-k] [-dc-ip ip address] [-target-ip ip address] [-local-dll dll to plant] [-remote-dll dll location]
DragonCastle - A credential dumper (@TheXC3LL)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-u USERNAME, --username USERNAME
valid username
-p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
valid password (if omitted, it will be asked unless -no-pass)
-d DOMAIN, --domain DOMAIN
valid domain name
-hashes [LMHASH]:NTHASH
NT/LM hashes (LM hash can be empty)
-no-pass don't ask for password (useful for -k)
-k Use Kerberos authentication. Grabs credentials from ccache file (KRB5CCNAME) based on target parameters. If valid credentials cannot be found, it will use the ones specified in the command line
-dc-ip ip address IP Address of the domain controller. If omitted it will use the domain part (FQDN) specified in the target parameter
-target-ip ip address
IP Address of the target machine. If omitted it will use whatever was specified as target. This is useful when target is the NetBIOS name or Kerberos name and you cannot resolve it
-local-dll dll to plant
DLL location (local) that will be planted on target
-remote-dll dll location
