EFS files - Masterkey with empty user password in windows login #443

Closed Kitamiss closed 8 months ago

Kitamiss commented 8 months ago

Hi, I am trying to extract a certificate to decrypt the efs file in windows. The encrypted file belongs to an HDD of another PC that cannot log in as a user.
I have no problems recovering the masterkey if the user password exists, but when the user did not enter a Windows access password when running mimikatz in these 2 ways it does not work:

  1. at the end of the line /password: (I leave the password empty).

  2. at the end of the line do not use /password:

How can I get the sha1 masterkey if the user who encrypts the file does not have a login password?

Thank you
