## What it is
Spartacus is a Windows toolkit that automates discovery and exploitation of DLL and COM hijacking vulnerabilities by parsing Process Monitor logs. It can generate proxy DLL Visual Studio solutions, sign them with self-signed certificates, and detect DLL proxying in running applications.

## Use cases
- find dll hijacking vulnerabilities in windows applications
- parse procmon logs to detect dll sideloading opportunities
- generate proxy dlls for hijacked libraries
- discover com hijacking vulnerabilities
- sign a payload dll with a self-signed certificate
- detect dll hijacking in progress on a windows host

## When to choose
- you are doing red team work or vulnerability research on Windows DLL/COM hijacking
- you need to process large ProcMon PML files and automate hijack discovery
- you want auto-generated Visual Studio proxy DLL projects with exported function signatures

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the original repo is unmaintained and moved to sadreck/Spartacus
- you are looking for defensive-only endpoint monitoring rather than offensive tooling
- you are not on Windows

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: penetration-testing, security, reverse-engineering
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: dll-hijacking, com-hijacking, dll-proxy, procmon, red-team, skeleton-dll, code-signing
