Hello,
I was contacted by LastPass regarding that offline attack. To cut the long
story short, they were open and friendly and offered me to help with the
cryptography questions I had. They did not believe we do an offline attack
initially (they thought it was captured network traffic) so I explained
what we did. They also told me what is being employed in Windows (the
mysterious encrypted IE and Firefox stuff). So bad news, we're up to
something evil - DPAPI.
What really struck me as odd is that the encrypted xml on Android looks
very much like the sxml from Windows and I doubt that there is DPAPI
implementation for Java on Android. But then I am a noob in the Android
world, so who knows :)
So basically we have a real problem with that. DPAPI was reverse-engineered
and I need to read the paper, but from what I remember it is tied to the
local account's password in a way (a SHA1 hash of the password is applied
somehow from what I remember). So in the windows case, we would need the
local account password which makes it really hard to crack :(
If anyone is acquainted with how DPAPI works, details would be much
appreciated :)
