I recently encountered a scenario in which I needed to replace the hash of a local user in another machine and all usual solutions were either incomplete or outdated. After noticing
secretsdump.py
had all the necessary logic to parse user account structs inside the SAM hive it seemed like a simple change to allow it to modify the user data as well.The
winregistry
package has been slightly modified to allow the writing of registry keys as well. Currently, the writing capabilities are quite limited and can only rewrite key values with the same length, which is enough for the working of the new script but could be expanded to provide a more generalized feature.
