Windows Post Manage WDigest Credential Caching
Description
On Windows 8/2012 or higher, the Digest Security Provider (WDIGEST) is disabled by default. This module enables/disables credential caching by adding/changing the value of the UseLogonCredential DWORD under the WDIGEST provider's Registry key. Any subsequent logins will allow mimikatz to recover the plain text passwords from the system's memory.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
