Description

This module supports running an HTTP server which validates credentials, and
then attempts to execute a relay attack against an LDAP server on the
configured RHOSTS hosts.

It is not possible to relay NTLMv2 to LDAP due to the Message Integrity Check
(MIC). As a result, this will only work with NTLMv1. The module takes care of
removing the relevant flags to bypass signing.

If the relay succeeds, an LDAP session to the target will be created. This can
be used by any modules that support LDAP sessions, like `admin/ldap/rbcd` or
`auxiliary/gather/ldap_query`.

Supports LDAP and captures NTLMv1 as well as NTLMv2 hashes.
