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
