An interactive command-line tool for exploring the CTF (Clipboard/Text Services Framework) protocol used by Windows Text Services. It supports scripting, fuzzing, and security research against CTF clients and servers, including a known SYSTEM privilege escalation exploit.

Use cases

  • analyze Windows CTF protocol interactions
  • fuzz Windows Text Input Processor clients and servers
  • research Windows internals and ALPC security
  • test the CTF SYSTEM privilege escalation exploit
  • automate interaction with CTF clients via scripts

When to choose

  • you are doing Windows security research on the CTF/Text Services Framework
  • you need to debug or fuzz CTF client/server communication on Windows 7-10

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose Windows exploitation framework
  • you are not working on Windows or with Windows internals
