Mac OS X Keychain Forensic Tool

Chainbreaker

Chainbreaker can be used to extract the following types of information from an OSX keychain in a forensically sound manner:

  • Hashed Keychain password, suitable for cracking with hashcat or John the Ripper
  • Internet Passwords
  • Generic Passwords
  • Private Keys
  • Public Keys
  • X509 Certificates
  • Secure Notes
  • Appleshare Passwords

Given the keychain unlock password, a master key obtained using volafox or volatility, or an unlock file such as SystemKey, Chainbreaker will also provide plaintext passwords.

Without one of these methods of unlocking the Keychain, Chainbreaker will display all other available information.

Install and run

You can either just run the code from source, or import it as a module and run as a module. To run the code from source, just clone/download the sourcecode, make sure you have installed the dependencies and run chainbreaker.py as a script.

Build the module

  1. Navigate to the directory containing the file setup.py
  2. Enter the command (from terminal): $ python setup.py bdist_wheel -d dist. This creates a wheel file (extension: .whl) in the /dist folder.
  3. Install the wheelfile with pip, or (if in the same directory containing setup.py) run: $ pip install -e .

Running chainbreaker as a module

After succesfully installing the wheelfile, you can use the module from the command-line (allowing you to use input arguments) as follows:

$ python -m chainbreaker

Or you can import it nicely within other scripts like so:

import chainbreaker 
keychain = chainbreaker.Chainbreaker('path/to/keychain/file/login.keychain', unlock_password='SecretPasswordHere')

And this returns a keychain object which you can use in your script.

Supported OS's

OS X Snow Leopard(10.6) to macOS Ventura(13)

Target Keychain file

Any valid .keychain or .keychain-db can be supplied. Common Keychain locations include:

  • User keychains, these can contain ID's, passwords, and other secure data pertaining to installed applications, ssh/vpn, mail, contacts, calendar

    • /Users/[username]/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
    • /Users/[username]/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db

  • System Keychains, these can contain WiFi passwords registered by the local machine and several certifications and public/private keys.

    • /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
      • Note: The unlock file for this keychain is commonly located at /var/db/SystemKey

Cracking the Keychain Hash using hashcat

Hash Extraction

The password used to encrypt a keychain can be dumped using the --dump-keychain-password-hash option.

Hash Cracking

After obtaining the keychain password hash, you can use a program such as hashcat to attempt to crack it.

Note: As described in hashcat #2457 collisions are very common based on the current checks. To combat this, you'll want to use the "--keep-guessing" flag, and keep trying the found passwords until you (hopefully) get the correct one.

Extraction from memory images

Volofax can be used to extract Keychain files and master key candidates from memory images.

$ python vol.py -i ~/Desktop/show/macosxml.mem -o keychaindump

Why the rewrite?

Chainbreaker2 was forked to be heavily refactored and modified from the original chainbreaker.

The primary reason behind this fork is to add better support integration into third-party forensic platforms such as Autopsy.

During the refactor, additional functionality was added including:

  • Enhanced user control and options
  • Extraction of the Keychain hash for use with third-party hash cracking software.
  • Dumping all available information, regardless of the presence of an unlocking method

Credits

  • Chainbreaker2 has been significantly refactored and with accitional functionality added by Luke Gaddie
  • The original author of chainbreaker is n0fate

GNU GPL v2

TODO

  • Better commenting of code.
  • Better documentation of the keychain format.
