GHOSTKATZ

GhostKatz extracts LSASS credentials directly from physical memory by abusing signed vulnerable kernel drivers with `MmMapIoSpace` read primitives, bypassing traditional user-mode detection mechanisms like EDR hooks on LSASS. Designed as a modular Cobalt Strike BOF, it currently ships with exploits for Toshiba TPwSav and TechPowerUp ThrottleStop drivers and supports extensibility for custom driver research via `utils.c`. Tested across Windows 10, Server 2012 R2 through 2022, the tool supports both logonpasswords and wdigest credential dumping modes, though operators should note the inherent BSOD risk when leveraging vulnerable kernel drivers in production environments.
