# Welcome

`Amnesiac` is a post-exploitation framework designed to assist with lateral movement within Active Directory environments.

Amnesiac was developed to bridge a gap on Windows OS, where post-exploitation frameworks are not readily available unless explicitly installed. In fact, it is entirely written in PowerShell, and can be loaded and executed in memory, just like any other PowerShell script.

If you find Amnesiac valuable and you like this project, please consider giving us a star on [GitHub](https://github.com/Leo4j/Amnesiac). Your support motivates us to continue improving and maintaining this project.

### Key Features <a href="#user-content-key-features" id="user-content-key-features"></a>

#### Command Execution over Named-Pipes (SMB) <a href="#user-content-command-execution-over-named-pipes-smb" id="user-content-command-execution-over-named-pipes-smb"></a>

Amnesiac sends commands and receives output through Named Pipes. If you want to know more about Named Pipes, [this](https://decoder.cloud/2019/03/06/windows-named-pipes-impersonation/) is a good read.

#### No Installation Required <a href="#user-content-no-installation-required" id="user-content-no-installation-required"></a>

Unlike traditional frameworks, Amnesiac does not require installation. It operates entirely in memory, reducing the risk of detection and forensic footprint.

#### User-Friendly Framework <a href="#user-content-user-friendly-framework" id="user-content-user-friendly-framework"></a>

Amnesiac is designed with usability in mind. It provides a user-friendly interface, making it accessible and efficient for both beginners and experienced users.

#### Versatile Post-Exploitation Modules <a href="#user-content-versatile-post-exploitation-modules" id="user-content-versatile-post-exploitation-modules"></a>

Amnesiac comes equipped with an array of post-exploitation modules, ranging from keyloggers to Kerberos ticket dumping tools. These modules can be seamlessly integrated into your testing and assessment workflows.

#### Acknowledgments <a href="#user-content-acknowledgments" id="user-content-acknowledgments"></a>

Amnesiac relies on few other projects for its modules. In each module, you'll find reference link information, ensuring proper attribution to the original creators.

#### Support and Contributions <a href="#user-content-support-and-contributions" id="user-content-support-and-contributions"></a>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://leo4j.gitbook.io/amnesiac/welcome.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
