Description: Windows Credentials Editor
Windows Credentials Editor (WCE) v1.3beta allows you to:
.
NTLM authentication:
.
* List logon sessions and add, change, list and delete associated credentials
(e.g.: LM/NT hashes)
* Perform pass-the-hash on Windows natively
* Obtain NT/LM hashes from memory (from interactive logons, services, remote
desktop connections, etc.) which can be used to authenticate to other systems.
WCE can perform this task without injecting code, just by reading and
decrypting information stored in Windows internal memory structures. It also
has the capability to automatically switch to code injection when the
aforementioned method cannot be performed.
