DSInternals DataStore Library

Introduction

The DSInternals.DataStore package allows you to directly access and modify the Active Directory database without running a domain controller.

Key Features

  • Password Hash Extraction: Extract NT hashes, LM hashes, and password history from ntds.dit
  • Account Manipulation: Modify account attributes like sIDHistory and primaryGroupId
  • Backup Key Extraction: Retrieve DPAPI backup keys from the database
  • Trust Password Extraction: Extract inter-domain trust passwords and derive Kerberos trust keys
  • KDS Root Key Access: Retrieve Key Distribution Service root keys for gMSA password computation
  • LAPS Password Decryption: Decrypt Windows LAPS encrypted passwords
  • DNS Zone Export: Extract DNS resource records from AD-integrated zones
  • BitLocker Recovery: Extract BitLocker recovery information

Usage Examples

Opening an ntds.dit File

using DSInternals.DataStore;

// Open the database in read-only mode
string ntdsPath = @"C:\Backup\ntds.dit";

using var context = new DirectoryContext(ntdsPath, readOnly: true);
using var agent = new DirectoryAgent(context);

Console.WriteLine($"Domain: {context.DomainController.DomainName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Forest Mode: {context.DomainController.ForestMode}");

Extracting Password Hashes

using DSInternals.DataStore;

string ntdsPath = @"C:\Backup\ntds.dit";
byte[] bootKey = /* Extract from SYSTEM registry hive */;

using var context = new DirectoryContext(ntdsPath, readOnly: true);
using var agent = new DirectoryAgent(context);

// Enumerate all accounts with password hashes
foreach (var account in agent.GetAccounts(bootKey))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Account: {account.SamAccountName}");

    if (account.NTHash != null)
    {
        string ntHash = BitConverter.ToString(account.NTHash).Replace("-", "");
        Console.WriteLine($"NT Hash: {ntHash}");
    }
}
