The provided code is a functional Python script that generates a malicious .lnk file exploiting CVE-2026-32202. This vulnerability allows an attacker to capture NTLMv2 hashes by crafting a shortcut file with a UNC path pointing to an attacker-controlled SMB server, triggering authentication when the folder is viewed.
This repository contains a functional Python script that generates a malicious LNK file exploiting CVE-2026-32202. The exploit leverages a crafted _IDCONTROLW structure to trigger an outbound SMB connection when the LNK file is processed by Windows Explorer.
The repository claims to exploit CVE-2026-32202 via crafted LNK files for NTLMv2 hash coercion but lacks actual exploit code, instead redirecting to an external download link (tinyurl.com). The README is detailed but serves as a lure rather than providing functional PoC code.
