## What it is
A Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2020-0796 (SMBGhost), achieving pre-authentication remote code execution against vulnerable Windows SMBv3 servers via kernel shellcode injection. It is a research/demo artifact intended for education in a lab environment.

## Use cases
- demonstrate SMBGhost CVE-2020-0796 exploitation in a lab
- study kernel RCE exploit techniques for SMBv3 compression bugs
- test whether a Windows host is vulnerable to SMBGhost
- learn shellcode injection and PTE NX-bit clearing methods
- reference material for writing Windows kernel exploits

## When to choose
- you are researching or teaching Windows kernel exploitation
- you need a working reference PoC for CVE-2020-0796
- you are validating SMBv3 patching in an isolated test environment

## When to avoid
- you need a reliable, production-grade exploitation tool
- you want a safe vulnerability scanner rather than an exploit
- you lack authorization to test the target system
- you need stable behavior - the PoC can crash (BSOD) targets

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: experimental
- function: penetration-testing, security
- domain: security, penetration-testing
- platform: python, cli, windows
- tags: exploit, cve-2020-0796, smbghost, rce, proof-of-concept, kernel-exploitation, vulnerability-research
