# Native Bypass CredGuard Need to compile C# or C++ to a executable NativeBypassCredGuard is a tool designed to bypass Credential Guard by patching WDigest.dll using only NTAPI functions (exported by ntdll.dll). It is available in two flavours: C# and C++. The tool locates the pattern "39 ?? ?? ?? ?? 00 8b ?? ?? ?? ?? 00" in the WDigest.dll file on disk (as explained in the first post in the Refences section, the pattern is present in this file in all Windows versions), then calculates the necessary memory addresses, and finally patches the value of two variables within WDigest.dll: *g\_fParameter\_UseLogonCredential* (to 1) and *g\_IsCredGuardEnabled* (to 0). This forces plaintext credential storage in memory, ensuring that from that point forward credentials are stored in cleartext whenever users log in. As a result, next time the LSASS process is dumped it may contain passwords in plaintext. {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
