WINHELLO2hashcat

WINHELLO2hashcat is a Python tool that extracts the cryptographic hash from a Windows Hello PIN, enabling offline password recovery through Hashcat. It targets Windows 10 and 11 systems without TPM protection, providing a method for security testing and forensic analysis.

Key Features

• Hash Extraction — Retrieves Windows Hello PIN hashes from system hives and cryptographic directories.
• Hashcat Compatibility — Outputs hashes in the format required for Hashcat mode 28100.
• Offline Analysis — Works on offline Windows directories or mounted images without live system interaction.
• Flexible Input — Accepts either the NGC directory or a specific PIN GUID for hash extraction.
• Admin/SYSTEM Privilege Support — Includes guidance for accessing protected NGC folders on live or mounted systems.

Philosophy

The tool is designed for security professionals and forensic investigators to assess Windows Hello PIN strength, emphasizing offline, non-destructive analysis where TPM-based protections are absent.
