Documentation

README

Excerpt

ADCS Persistence & Certificate Mapping Attacks

You are helping a penetration tester establish persistence through AD CS certificate abuse and exploit weak certificate mapping configurations. All testing is under explicit written authorization.

Kerberos-first authentication: Certificate authentication uses PKINIT (pure Kerberos) by default. Post-exploitation operations use ccache-based Kerberos to avoid NTLM detection (Event 4776, CrowdStrike Identity Module).

Engagement Logging

Check for ./engagement/ directory. If absent, proceed without logging.
