A security feature bypass vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Kerberos implementation affects supported versions of Windows including Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2, Windows RT, and early Windows 10 releases. The flaw stems from improper handling of password changes in Kerberos, allowing a physically proximate attacker to cause a system to connect to an unintended Key Distribution Center (KDC). By leveraging this condition, an attacker can bypass authentication protections and undermine certain BitLocker deployment configurations. The issue is known as Windows Kerberos Security Feature Bypass.

This repository, 'BlueBox', is a comprehensive exploit toolkit targeting Microsoft Windows domain authentication vulnerabilities (MS15-122/CVE-2015-6095 and MS16-014/CVE-2016-0049). It enables an attacker to bypass the Windows login screen on domain-joined machines, even those protected by BitLocker, by impersonating domain controller services (DNS, KDC, LDAP, NetBIOS) on a local network. The repository includes Python scripts for each malicious service, configuration files for network setup (DHCP, interfaces, iptables/ebtables), and init scripts for automated deployment on Linux systems (e.g., Raspberry Pi). The attack can be performed in two modes: a simple lockscreen bypass (using DHCP and static IP 192.168.0.1) or a zero-downtime MITM attack (using network bridging and traffic redirection). The toolkit also provides an example 'fake RAT' payload in C, which can be served to compromised machines. The exploit is operational and requires physical or network access to the target environment, with the ability to control network traffic to the victim. The repository references several submodules for protocol handling (dnslib, ldaptor, Responder, pykek).
