Description
This module extracts and decrypts saved Pulse Secure Connect Client passwords from the
Windows Registry. This module can only access credentials created by the user that the
Meterpreter session is running as.
Note that this module cannot link the password to a username unless the
Meterpreter sessions is running as SYSTEM. This is because the username associated
with a password is saved in 'C:\ProgramData\Pulse Secure\ConnectionStore\[SID].dat',
which is only readable by SYSTEM.
Note that for enterprise deployment, this username is almost always the domain
username.
