Cyber Craft Labs
Cyber Craft Labs is a security R&D lab founded by ly4k (thehackersbrain). It’s the professional research vehicle behind the offensive-security work captured in this wiki — AD attack research, AD CS / PKI, shadow credentials, reverse engineering, and malware development/analysis. The wiki is the lab’s working knowledge base.
What it does
- Offensive security R&D — AD / Kerberos / AD CS / PKI attack research (the core of this wiki), plus reverse engineering and malware development/analysis for detection + authorized red-team tooling.
- The research home for the techniques and tooling in this wiki — ad-cs-esc-attacks, shadow-credentials, pkinit-unpac-the-hash, the relay/RBCD family, etc.
- Authorized work — pentest engagements, red-team operations, CTF/lab environments (HTB), and security research/education.
Why it matters to this wiki
- It’s the organizational context for the knowledge base — the “who is doing this research” answer, tying the ly4k persona, the berserkarch distro, and the AD/AD CS research together.
- The operating frame for everything in the repo (authorized, legitimate security work) is the lab’s frame.
