Could you build this?

No Parsing Windows DPAPI artifacts and deriving master keys requires deep understanding of undocumented Windows internal cryptography, registry structures, LSASS secrets, and Active Directory backup keys.

What it would actually take: Building this requires re-implementing Windows DPAPI structures (credential blobs, preferred master key GUID parsing, PBKDF2/SHA1/AES/3DES decryption routines, domain backup key RPCs). The hard part is reverse engineering proprietary binary formats across Windows versions and managing NTDS/LSASS artifact extraction. This requires advanced offensive security or forensic engineering expertise with deep Windows OS internals knowledge.
