Dracula Logger Exe Guide

In a recent penetration test conducted by RedTeam Coven (a security firm specializing in purple-team exercises), Dracula Logger.exe was deployed on a Domain Controller.

When a simulated ransomware sample (LockBit 3.0 variant) attempted to execute, Dracula did not block it—that’s the antivirus's job. Instead, Dracula logged the following with millisecond precision: Dracula Logger exe

Because Dracula logs to a write-once, append-only memory region (the "coffin"), the blue team was able to replay the attack timeline perfectly, even after the ransomware encrypted the primary event logs. In a recent penetration test conducted by RedTeam

Some organizations use it to track application usage, but strictly within legal boundaries and with clear notification to users. Because Dracula logs to a write-once, append-only memory

Under the hood, Dracula Logger uses a hybrid hooking mechanism:

The EXE accepts log data in three ways:

File Watch Mode: dracula-logger.exe --watch ./logs/app.log

Socket Sink: dracula-logger.exe --listen 127.0.0.1:8080

version: 3.2
logger:
  mode: "agent"        # can be 'standalone', 'agent', or 'server'
  storage: 
    path: "./logs"
    max_size_mb: 500
    encrypt: true
  monitoring:
    processes: 
      - "chrome.exe"
      - "powershell.exe"
      - "*"            # asterisk means all processes
    exclude_processes:
      - "Dracula Logger exe"
    file_paths:
      - "C:\\Windows\\System32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts"
      - "C:\\Users\\*\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\*"
    network:
      capture_outbound: true
      capture_inbound: false

Cause: Missing or corrupted encryption key file (key.dat).
Fix: Locate the backup key (usually key.backup in %APPDATA%\DraculaLogger). If no backup, you must reconfigure and decrypt old logs with the original key—without it, data is unrecoverable.
