There was a project that was created to deploy bitlocker (HDD Encryption) to all client machines; and having done this a large number of times myself in the past. I have always used either group policy or 4 lines of PowerShell code to get this done. Instead my manager decided to embedded PowerShell code in C# and compile it into an exe; then deploy that exe to the entire network. When I first asked; I created the powershell code and he created the c# code. There is software online named ps2exe.ps1 scripts that will do this for you. I compiled the script which I obtained from the original exe from running the exe with the -extract option and specifying a destination; of course what is extractable would be defined in the C# code. So this doesnt prove anything yet. I re-compiled the code using all ps2exe converters online; and then used jetbrains to decompile each exe. None of them were loading credui module.

This is one thing that I have noticed that is exceptionally dodgy on the original exe mostly because the code is decrypting the password in buffer; and assigning to a string builder. One thing I cant figure out is where it is being saved; or how the writer of the code is getting the password.

I would like to attach this code in zip form to this forum; I was hoping someone could take a look and give myself advice of whether the attached code is malicious 100%, 80%; just looks like it; uncertain or definitely not. Etc..

I have uploaded the VS code to--> Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Thank you,
 
Hi, welcome to the forums

Nobody is going to download that, so your best posting your code on the forums like everyone else does, and paste your code using [CODE=csharp] your code here [/CODE] tags.

Thanks
 
Haha true dat.

Theres some other cs forms that I haven't posted. Let myself know if they needed to take a look. I have posted what I believe to be suspicious,
However they are other forms named: (Please request if required)

PS2EXEHostUI
PS2EXEHost.cs
PS2EXEApp.cs
PS2EXE.cs
ConsoleInfo.CS
InputBox.cs
ProgressForm.CS
AssemblyInfo.CS
ChoiceBox.cs
 
For info Bitlocker Drive Encryption does not use the users credentials. Rather TPM, TPM+ Pin, or TPM + Pin + PendDrive(RecoveryKey) is used. Unless there is something I am missing on this.

I'm not sure how the password would be catched; once its been decrypted that's what I've been stuck on. This could be completely valid. Unfortunately I have trouble trusting anything that is compiled beyond the requirements to do so. (IE protecting company IP etc..)
 
That's a lot of code to cipher through. Anyway, Look on line 188 in your fist snipped where the password array is.

Start reading though the source for : userPwd.Password

Somewhere in the rest of the code you will find that line, so look for how the data is stored, if you find it, post back, and If I got time, I will take another look.

At a further glance, It looks like he is requesting it VIA prompt, similar to the way the opera browser does when you try to access stored passwords in the browser. Your windows password is required for viewing other passwords. See : pinvoke.net: CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentials (credui)

I should also point out, that decompiling applications is also illegal, despite this being code your manager acquired from an executable, and said compiled code running on your network; doesn't give you the rights to reverse engineer it even from a security standpoint. I have notified the mods to review the topic, as topics of this nature are generally prohibited across most forums. But if they are happy to leave it open, maybe you could link to the resource you used since there are a few different authors offering up the same script. From there I can do my own research.
 
I was running short on time earlier, so I Just want to be clear where I stand on this. Moderators have been online since reporting this. I am guessing they approve of this type of topic which is cool with me. As It's their decisions that decide how the board is run.

However, I won't be helping you or any other member with reverse engineering software related questions unless I know where the product came from. Because the information shared in these type of topics are often used by silly kids to do malicious things to legitimate commercial software. And I believe there is a certain liability of responsibility for any forum or ask board who allow such discussions to take place.

But I am happy to assist you with code related questions which do not pertain to further reverse engineering or questions about reverse engineering this executable, if it's non-compiled code is not public information. Since you decompiled this yourself without any help from anyone here, it will be you who will be sued if the author of the code is looking to open up a lawsuit if you've breached the licence agreement of the his/her product, and for putting their source code in the public domain if its not meant to be there.

On that note, if your manager used software which has already publicly shared its source code online, then I don't mind assisting you with code related questions. But if the decompiled code was already available, I don't think you would have gone through the hassle of decompiling it, in which case I won't be helping further. Hope you understand why. :)
 
Instead my manager decided to embedded PowerShell code in C# and compile it into an exe
So first off all, this is a fallacy. The PowerShell script is not actually being embedded into C#. Here's what Ingo wrote about his tool originally:
It does not convert the PowerShell script to an other language! It encapsulates the script with a lightweight PowerShell host written in C# and compiles the dynamically generated C# source code in memory to an EXE file. The resulting EXE is an .NET assembly that contains the source script encoded in Base64. The EXE includes all stuff that is needed to execute an PowerShell through the .NET object model. It is based on classes in the namespace System.Management.Automation that reperents the PowerShell engine. – Therefore the EXE file is not a real “standalone” EXE file. It needs PowerShell to be installed!!! And – of course – it needs .NET Framework v2.0. Furthermore “script execution” have to be allowed (see cmdlet: set-execultionpolicy). – The resulting EXE is “MSIL” and is able to execute as x64 or x86.
 
None of them were loading credui module.
Actually that really depends on what flags you were passing to the tool. If the -noConsole or the -credentialGUI flag is used with the MScholtes version, or the -noConsole flag is used with Ingo's original version, then the CredUI module would be imported by virtue of the P/Invoke calls to CredUI within the generated code.
 
This is one thing that I have noticed that is exceptionally dodgy on the original exe mostly because the code is decrypting the password in buffer; and assigning to a string builder. One thing I cant figure out is where it is being saved; or how the writer of the code is getting the password.
Where are you seeing this decryption?

I'm really burnt out after 5 days on call with 2 more days to go, but from what I am seeing, there is a call to CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentials() to prompt the user for a password. The StringBuilders that you see are to satisfy the requirements of P/Invoke marshaling of character buffers (as opposed to strings). Unfortunately, that password is returned by the P/Invoke call is in clear text and stored into the UserPwd class. The author then copies that password from that class into a SecureString because that is what the PowerShell PSCredential needs. PSCredential is the ubiquitous way of passing around credentials in PowerShell.

So in conclusion, the author tries to be as careful with password as possible, but doesn't go overboard by doing the older .NET 2.0 recommendations of overwriting the memory where the clear text password used to be.

In truth, even the .NET Core is recommending avoiding using SecureString:
Important

We don't recommend that you use the SecureString class for new development. For more information, see SecureString shouldn't be used on GitHub.
