Ballgag

A tool used to clear Windows Event Logs without invoking wevtutil.exe

Usage

Remote

C:\>ballgag.exe <domain> <dc> <username> <password>

• Domain - the AD root domain

• DC - the IP or hostname of the Domain Controller target

• Username - the username of the account used to clear the logs

• Password - the password for said account

Local

C:\>ballgag.exe

• Just run it as admin ;)

Gotchas

• Account used for clearing logs must be a part of the Administrators group.

• If the target machine is remote, the target must have Remote Event Log Management enabled in the firewall.

  If the target machine does not have Remote Event Log Management enabled, run locally.

TODO

• Better argument parsing
• Pass-the-Hash abilities
• Clearing specific log channels
• Save cleared logs to a file
• Shut the event log service up for good by killing its threads
• impacket script?
