Jailbreak (Windows)
For a newer and open-source version of these tools please see https://github.com/iSECPartners/jailbreak
Written by: andreas [at] isecpartners.com and cclark [at] isecpartners.com
Jailbreak exports certificates marked as non-exportable from the Windows certificate store. This can help when you need to extract certificates for backup or testing. You must have permissions to use the private key on the filesystem in order for jailbreak to work -- Jailbreak cannot keys stored on smartcards.
Tested On:
- WinXP SP2 x86
- Win2k3 SP1 x86
- Vista RTM & SP1 x86
- Vista RTM x64 (jbstore only!)
- Windows 7 x86
- Windows 7 x64 (jbstore only!)
Note: Win2k does not work.
Instructions
- Extract the files from the Jailbreak zip.
- Run jailbreak.exe while running as administrator
- A mmc with the Local Machine and Current-User Certificate snap-ins will load
- All certificates are now marked as exportable
- Use the certificate UI to export certificates and their private keys.
Note: If you get an unhandled exception, email andreas. It is probably a bug in Jailbreak.
Other Included Tools
jbcsp
jbcsp exports keys that are contained within the CSP and not associated with a certificate. jbscp requires .NET Framework 2.0.
Run:
jbscp "Key container" "output file name" [-u]
-u is an optional parameter and will export from the user store instead of the machine store.
jbstore
JBStore exports all of the certificates in the "MY" user store. This has the advantage that it does not require user interaction with MMC. Use jbstore on x64 platforms.
JBStore can be set to export from either the CURRENT_USER\MY store or the
LOCAL_MACHINE\MY store. The default is CURRENT_USER\MY.
To export from the LOCAL_MACHINE\MY store:
jbstore /computer <outfile> <password>
To export from the CURRENT_USER\MY store:
jbstore /user <outfile> <password>
or
jbstore <outfile> <password>

Thank you to those who have performed testing or provided feedback. Especially Andreas Klein for the jbcsp suggestions and Tom Aafloen for testing it on Vista x64.
