Find vulnerabilities in AD Group Policy, but do it better than Grouper2 did.
Like its ancestors, Group3r is a tool for pentesters and red teamers to rapidly enumerate relevant settings in AD Group Policy, and to identify exploitable misconfigurations in same. It does this by talking LDAP to Domain Controllers, parsing GPO config files off the domain SYSVOL share, and also by looking at other files (usually on file shares) that are referenced within GPOs, like scripts, MSI packages, exes, etc.

Security auditing CLI for web applications.
VICE is a security auditing CLI tool that finds vulnerabilities in your web applications. It has two modes:
Remote scan gives it a URL. It crawls your site with a real browser, extracts secrets from JS bundles, tests your login for brute force and SQL injection, scans your VPS ports, checks your Supabase RLS, and more. Like an attacker would, but on your own systems.
Local audit points it at your project directory. It reads your source code, checks your .env files, runs npm audit, analyzes your Supabase migrations for missing RLS, finds SQL injections and XSS in your code, and tells you exactly what to fix.

Aced is a tool to parse and resolve a single targeted Active Directory principal's DACL. Aced will identify interesting inbound access allowed privileges against the targeted account, resolve the SIDS of the inbound permissions, and present that data to the operator. Additionally, the logging features of pyldapsearch have been integrated with Aced to log the targeted principal's LDAP attributes locally which can then be parsed by pyldapsearch's companion tool BOFHound to ingest the collected data into BloodHound.

Scan for secrets in dangling commits on GitHub using GH Archive data.
This tool scans for secrets in dangling (dereferenced) commits on GitHub created by force push events. A force push occurs when developers overwrite commit history, which often contains mistakes, like hard-coded credentials. This project relies on archived force push event data in the GHArchive to identify the relevant commits.
