SharpDPAPI is a C# port of Mimikatz's Windows DPAPI functionality, allowing triage of DPAPI masterkeys, credentials, vaults, certificates, and KeePass secrets. Its SharpChrome subproject decrypts Chromium browser logins and cookies.

Use cases

  • decrypt windows dpapi protected credentials
  • extract saved chrome passwords and cookies
  • dump windows credential manager secrets from command line
  • recover dpapi masterkeys during red team engagement
  • triage keepass and remote desktop gateway credentials
  • decrypt dpapi blobs with a domain backup key

When to choose

  • you need to programmatically triage DPAPI-protected secrets on Windows during authorized security assessments
  • you want a C#/.NET alternative to Mimikatz's dpapi module that integrates with other GhostPack tooling
  • you need to decrypt Chromium-based browser credentials and cookies

When to avoid

  • you need a full Mimikatz feature set beyond DPAPI functionality
  • you are not operating on Windows or a Windows-derived environment
  • you lack authorization - this is an offensive security tool
