Credentials in process memory

In order to gain access to secrets that an application actively maintains, you can either debug the process and search for password patterns or create a memory dump and search that. One tool to highlight the process dump's creation is ProcDump from Sysinternals Suite. For more information, you can refer to the following link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite.

The applications to consider when looking at and researching credentials and sensitive information include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and so on).
  • Password managers.
  • Mail Clients (Outlook, Mail, and so on).

  • Never forget LSASS on Windows.

Alternatively, just dump all of them and search for interesting patterns!
