+# RPCScope
+
+RPCScope is a small Python orchestrator and correlation engine for authorized SMB and Windows RPC audits. It combines evidence from NetExec, enum4linux-ng, Impacket's `rpcdump`, and an optional Metasploit **scanner** into one JSON schema and a readable report.
+
+The normal CLI scan uses NetExec plus RPC endpoint collection. Full enum4linux-ng collection is now explicit with `--deep`, so broad enumeration does not delay dedicated checks. Add `--no-rpcdump` for SMB/check-only work. The Python API retains its earlier collector defaults for compatibility.
+
+The differentiator is not “run four tools.” It is the evidence layer between collection and conclusions:
+
+- normalize changing console output into host, SMB, share, and RPC-interface facts;
+- match RPC UUIDs to security-relevant Windows protocols without claiming that exposure proves a CVE;
+- distinguish a confirmed scanner result from an inferred risk signal;
+- retain collector artifacts with supplied passwords redacted and report the evidence behind each finding;
+- support offline analysis and dry runs for safe development and demos.
+
+## Scope and safety
+
+Use RPCScope only on systems you own or are explicitly authorized to assess. Live collection requires `--i-am-authorized`. Version banners and exposed interfaces are leads for validation, not automatic proof of vulnerability. The initial Metasploit integration uses only `auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_ms17_010`; it does not run an exploit or payload.
+
+NDRaider is useful architectural inspiration, but it solves a different problem: it extracts NDR grammars from Windows PE files and performs structure-aware RPC fuzzing. RPCScope starts with remote enumeration and correlation. A future integration could ingest NDRaider JSON from authorized lab-side binary analysis, but it should not be a hard dependency.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+python3 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+python -m pip install -e .
+rpcscope doctor
+```
+
+External collectors are optional for offline analysis. Install the adapters you intend to use: `nxc` (or `netexec`), `enum4linux-ng`, and `impacket-rpcdump`; `msfconsole` is required only when its check is enabled. The native LongLogon precondition check does not require NetExec.
+
+## Usage
+
+Null-session discovery plus shares across one or more IPs/CIDRs:
+
+```bash
+rpcscope scan 10.10.10.25 10.10.20.0/24 \
+  --shares --i-am-authorized -o engagement-a
+```
+
+No credential flags are required: omitted `-u/-p` values intentionally select null/anonymous collection.
+
+Authenticated collection without placing the password in shell history:
+
+```bash
+rpcscope scan targets.txt -u 'ACME\auditor' --password-prompt \
+  --shares --i-am-authorized -o engagement-a
+```
+
+Enable the non-exploit MS17-010 auxiliary scanner:
+
+```bash
+rpcscope scan 10.10.10.0/24 -u '' -p '' --shares \
+  --msf-ms17-010 --i-am-authorized -o engagement-a
+```
+
+Run the credentialless vulnerability-check preset:
+
+```bash
+rpcscope scan 10.10.10.0/24 --checks credentialless --shares \
+  --authorised -o engagement-a
+```
+
+List the checker registry and credential requirements with `rpcscope catalog`. The CLI batches the same NetExec module across live hosts, while unrelated modules run in separate processes so a module exception cannot suppress later checks. `safe` remains an alias for `credentialless`; it describes the authentication requirement, not a guarantee about probe impact.
+
+For the expanded audit, `--checks recommended` adds these adapters to the original four credentialless checks:
+
+| Selector | Evidence collected | Positive label |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `petitpotam` | EFSRPC interface binding associated with PetitPotam | `EXPOSURE` |
+| `dfscoerce` | DFS namespace RPC binding | `EXPOSURE` |
+| `shadowcoerce` | File Server VSS Agent RPC binding | `EXPOSURE` |
+| `printerbug` | Print Spooler RPC binding | `EXPOSURE` |
+| `mseven` | Event Log RPC binding | `EXPOSURE` |
+| `spooler` | Registered MS-RPRN endpoints | `INFO` |
+| `oxid` | Anonymous IObjectExporter advertised interface IPs | `INFO` |
+| `longlogon` | Guarded CLDAP naming-precondition estimate | `PRECONDITION` |
+
+The five bind adapters use NetExec `coerce_plus` with only `METHOD=...`. When all five are selected, the batch engine uses one `METHOD=All` invocation and attributes each method's evidence separately; subsets run only their selected methods. RPCScope never supplies `LISTENER` or `ALWAYS`. Upstream's “VULNERABLE” bind markers are normalized to `exposed`, since an accepted bind does not prove an authenticated callback, relay opportunity, or CVE. The current PetitPotam lookup may activate EFS through endpoint resolution. Anonymous method access still depends on server policy. The spooler/OXID requests use TCP/135 through NetExec's SMB wrapper, so those two adapters require both ports reachable. OXID-reported addresses are recorded only and never become scan targets. [Upstream implementation](https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec/blob/main/nxc/modules/coerce_plus.py).
+
+```bash
+rpcscope scan 10.10.10.0/24 --checks recommended --shares --authorised -o audit-new
+rpcscope scan 10.10.10.0/24 --checks exposure,info --authorised -o inventory-new
+rpcscope scan 10.10.10.0/24 --checks recommended --deep --authorised -o deep-new
+```
+
+Omitting `--checks` still runs enumeration only. Presets `exposure` and `info` can be combined with explicit checks. Inventory results never cause `NOT VULNERABLE` by themselves. Each check attempt retains its backend and evidence; contradictory results appear as `CONFLICT` in minimal output.
+
+The current SMBGhost module tests dialect/compression support, PrintNightmare uses a driver-permission probe, and noPac uses ticket-size behavior. Positive results from these adapters are labelled `SUSPECTED` pending validation. The old NTLM reflection adapter is disabled because NetExec removed that module; it is listed as unsupported instead of silently appearing to run. These adapter assumptions follow the primary upstream [SMBGhost](https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec/blob/main/nxc/modules/smbghost.py), [PrintNightmare](https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec/blob/main/nxc/modules/printnightmare.py), [noPac](https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec/blob/main/nxc/modules/nopac.py), and [NTLM reflection](https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExec/blob/main/nxc/modules/ntlm_reflection.py) implementations. Silence, access denial, and an unknown message format are inconclusive.
+
+LongLogon is included in `--checks recommended` (12 checks total). It remains a precondition-only check and can also run separately:
+
+```bash
+rpcscope scan 10.10.10.25 --checks longlogon --authorised -o longlogon-lab
+```
+
+It uses unauthenticated UDP/389 CLDAP requests: an EX response identifies the DNS domain, then a guarded legacy baseline uses only the fixed tiny `User=x` value. It never sends an oversized payload. The response-size estimate is reported as `PRECONDITION: [LONGLOGON:MET]`, `NOT-MET`, or `BORDERLINE`; missing or invalid evidence is `UNKNOWN`. None of these results establishes patch state, code execution, or a confirmed CVE, and none becomes `VULN` or `NOT VULNERABLE`. This adapter is informed by the MIT-licensed [ADScanPro tester at revision 5c0b86f](https://github.com/ADScanPro/CVE-2026-41089-LongLogon/tree/5c0b86fb957e387c9c3f6d56f7d8ee35e159c2); attribution is retained in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`.
+
+`-l/--lhost` is recorded in report metadata for future callback-based checks. It is deliberately unused by the current collectors because share enumeration, endpoint mapping, and the MS17-010 scanner do not need a callback listener.
+
+Preview collection without sending traffic:
+
+```bash
+rpcscope scan 10.10.10.0/24 -u '' -p '' --shares --dry-run
+```
+
+Analyze previously captured artifacts:
+
+```bash
+rpcscope analyze \
+  --nxc evidence/nxc.txt \
+  --rpcdump-dir evidence/rpcdump \
+  --enum4linux-dir evidence/enum4linux \
+  -o analysis
+```
+
+Outputs include a one-line-per-reachable-host `report.txt`, detailed `report.json` and `report.md`, and collector files under `raw/`. Progress, TXT, and Markdown omit unreachable addresses by default; JSON retains the expanded scope and its port outcomes. Unreachable hosts have no scheduled checks. Passwords are never included in report identity labels. Each live run requires an empty output directory to prevent stale evidence from earlier runs being mixed in. Files are written atomically, and reports refresh as hosts finish, with updates capped at twice per second.
+
+Execution coverage and evidence certainty are separate. A completed heuristic check is `SUSPECTED`; an executed check without a reliable verdict is `UNKNOWN`. Both count as completed. Skips appear separately, for example `CHECKS: 9/9 SKIPPED: 2` for eleven selected checks. Only real failures, unfinished work, or interruption produce partial coverage. A skipped or uncertain check still prevents an all-selected-checks clean claim: `NOT VULNERABLE (SELECTED CHECKS)` requires explicit negative vulnerability results and successful collection, with no unresolved selected checks. RPC tags describe endpoint-mapper registrations; bindings have not been independently tested for reachability. Conflicting evidence is preserved in the detailed report.
+
+```text
+192.0.2.10 (LAB) SUSPECTED: [CVE-2020-0796/SMBGHOST] EXPOSURE: [SMB-SIGNING-NOT-REQUIRED] PORTS: 135/open,445/open CHECKS: 9/9 SKIPPED: 2
+192.0.2.20 CHECKED UNKNOWN: [MS17-010] PORTS: 135/open,445/open CHECKS: 1/1
+```
+
+## Progress and performance
+
+The default progress display goes to stderr and shows the active stage/reachable host, completed task count, and elapsed time. Dead addresses advance discovery totals silently and never enter a host-check pipeline. Completed checks keep a compact result line. A heartbeat updates the display during slow collectors. Redirected output uses stable lines without terminal escape codes; stdout contains only the final minimal host report. A completed scan with no reachable SMB/RPC hosts prints a summary without per-IP lines; that is not itself an error.
+
+```text
+[0/3] START discovery (elapsed 0s)
+[1/3] DONE discovery success (0.3s) | 2 target(s)
+[1/3] START batch:ms17-010 (elapsed 0s)
+[2/3] DONE ms17-010 192.0.2.10 vulnerable (0.5s)
+[3/3] DONE ms17-010 192.0.2.20 not-vulnerable (0.4s)
+[3/3] SUMMARY check-batch complete (elapsed 1s) | ms17-010; 2 alive host(s)
+[3/3] SUMMARY scan complete (elapsed 1s) | 2 target(s); 0 collection note(s)
+```
+
+Use `--progress plain` for log files or `--no-progress` for quiet operation. Lightweight TCP and NetExec inventory discovery use `--discovery-workers 256`, matching the reviewed NetExec thread default. `--jobs 8` limits heavier checks and host collectors separately. Each NetExec check batch contains at most `--jobs` live hosts (capped at 128 targets), with the same NetExec thread limit. Only one check batch runs at a time, avoiding multiplied/nested concurrency. Dedicated checks precede optional broad enumeration; native checks, optional MSF, RPC dump and finally `--deep` enum4linux run in bounded host pipelines.
+
+`--timeout 120` bounds each collector or single-check batch. The five combined bind checks receive five check budgets in total; this is an invocation ceiling, not an independently enforced per-method deadline. `--discovery-timeout 600` bounds discovery separately. Output is spooled to disk; the runner actively stops a noisy collector at its next poll once output exceeds 16 MiB, retains bounded output, and marks the invocation partial.
+
+`--jobs` means maximum concurrent heavy hosts, whether handled by NetExec's batch threads or Python's collector pool. It is optional: omitting it uses eight; `--jobs 1` runs heavy hosts sequentially. Tune discovery separately. Increasing either limit uses more local/network resources; it changes throughput, not detection criteria. `--isolated-checks` retains per-host/per-check execution for diagnosing backend compatibility, without automatic retries.
+
+The installed NetExec SMB help is inspected once and cached. Supported versions use `--no-admin-check` to avoid unnecessary Service Control Manager checks; none of our adapters needs an admin-only callback. Share enumeration uses legacy `--no-write-check` where supported, or current ACL-only defaults where `--file-write-check` is an explicit opt-in. RPCScope never enables file-write testing; unknown share semantics cause an explicit skip/error rather than a guessed flag. Existing filenames supplied as literal credentials are rejected because NetExec would treat them as credential lists.
+
+Accuracy safeguards include host/module/port-indexed output, explicit negative signatures, caught-host-exception detection even on exit zero, and IPv4-only gating for the reviewed upstream MS17-010/SMBGhost adapters. Missing output never implies patched. Failed batches are retained as unknown/partial without replaying probes. Local socket-resource exhaustion is a scan failure, not thousands of supposedly dead hosts.
+
+The offline 32-host `recommended` test reduces NetExec **check** process invocations from 352 to 28 while retaining twelve per-host check records. This measures orchestration work, not live throughput or CVE-detection accuracy. NetExec and the other external collectors are not installed in the development environment, so live version interoperability and network timing still require an authorized lab. A twelve-check audit plus RPC/optional deep inventory cannot be expected to take the same time as a bare `nxc smb` banner scan. See [the source review](docs/NETEXEC_REVIEW.md).
+
+Default discovery expands explicit IPs, CIDRs, DNS names, and UTF-8 target files, deduplicates them, and checks TCP/135 and TCP/445 independently. A host enters collection only if either port is open, retaining RPC-only systems. Closed and timed-out connections are completed reachability outcomes, not blanket partial coverage. For a reachable host, unavailable ports skip only dependent adapters; hosts with neither service reachable receive no collectors/checks. JSON retains all expanded addresses and discovery results. Files allow one IP/CIDR/hostname per line and `#` comments. Use `--connect-timeout 1` to tune connection probing and `--max-hosts 4096` to control the expansion cap. Discovery time is bounded by `--discovery-timeout`, including per-connection timeout clamping; unfinished probes remain distinguishable from completed timeouts. `--discovery smb` keeps an SMB-only workflow for environments where direct TCP probing is inappropriate. The Python `ScanConfig` API retains SMB-only discovery and isolated checks by default for compatibility; set `tcp_discovery=True, batch_checks=True, use_enum4linux=False` for the CLI's normal execution strategy.
+
+Discovery does not test UDP/389: a UDP-only domain controller with neither TCP/135 nor TCP/445 reachable is outside this workflow's discovery coverage, even when `longlogon` is selected.
+
+## Recent advisory review and metadata sync
+
+`rpcscope catalog --advisories` lists seven patch-review advisories: CVE-2020-1206, CVE-2022-26809, CVE-2022-37958, CVE-2024-49112, CVE-2025-47981, CVE-2025-49716, and CVE-2026-41089. These include SMBleed, RPC/NEGOEX, adjacent Active Directory LDAP, and newer Netlogon issues. The registry supplies metadata, never automatic per-host vulnerability claims. LongLogon has the precondition adapter above, included in `recommended`; it does not remotely verify patch state. The other entries have no executable remote adapter. No CVE is assigned to DFSCoerce or ShadowCoerce merely from its technique name.
+
+```bash
+rpcscope catalog --advisories
+rpcscope sync-cves -o rpcscope-advisories.json
+```
+
+Sync refreshes the fixed CVE Program Microsoft CNA JSON records and preserves affected-version metadata and vendor references. It validates record identity and publisher, bounds response size, and replaces the cache only after every record validates. Downloads never install or execute scanner code. A published unauthenticated RCE advisory does not imply a validated scanner or working exploit; the Netlogon [CVE-2026-41089 record](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-41089) remains patch-review metadata, separate from the precondition measurement. The [original SMBleed scanner](https://github.com/jamf/SMBGhost-SMBleed-scanner) warns that it can crash some unpatched systems, so it has not been added as a default probe.
+
+Ctrl+C stops active collector process groups and retains completed evidence. TCP/135 RPC enumeration runs without credentials, which also avoids an interactive prompt for named accounts with blank passwords. `--shares` uses the verified read-only mode described above, never file-write tests. With `--deep`, enum4linux JSON is exported in a private temporary directory and scrubbed before being retained. The external tools may maintain their own logs or credential databases outside RPCScope's output directory.
+
+Exit codes: `0` completed, `1` real execution/collection failures or unfinished work, `2` invalid input, `130` interrupted. Findings, inconclusive results, normal skips, and an empty reachable-host set do not by themselves cause a nonzero exit. Offline analysis returns `1` for malformed inputs while retaining any valid artifacts it could analyze.
+
+## Tests
+
+```bash
+python3 -B -m unittest discover -s tests -v
+```
+
+Tests use synthetic artifacts, mocked tool invocations, and local subprocesses. No live network target is required.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+1. Harden parsers against a larger fixture corpus from different tool versions.
+2. Move UUID knowledge into signed/versioned data files with protocol references and tests.
+3. Add SARIF output and “compare two scans” drift reporting.
+4. Add explicit profiles (`safe`, `standard`, `active`) rather than silently adding intrusive modules.
+5. Optionally ingest NDRaider grammar JSON to correlate a remotely exposed UUID with a lab-analyzed vendor binary.
+6. Add a plugin API for new collectors and rules, keeping the core dependency-free.

+
+## Trust boundaries
+
+- Collector output is untrusted input. Parsers extract only labelled facts and never execute data from results.
+- Credentials are passed to external tools only when the operator supplies them. Recorded command metadata redacts passwords.
+- Live collection is gated by `--i-am-authorized`; offline analysis does not require the flag.
+- A UUID match establishes interface exposure. It does not establish vulnerable code, reachable opnums, authorization, patch state, or exploitability.
+- A CVE-level finding requires a purpose-built scanner result or a separately implemented, testable evidence predicate.
+
+## Data model
+
+`HostEvidence` is the stable seam of the project. Collectors contribute:
+
+- identity: address, hostname, domain, OS fingerprint;
+- SMB posture: SMBv1, signing, null/guest session state;
+- shares: name, read/write access, comment;
+- RPC surface: UUID, version, protocol label, provider, binding/endpoint;
+- checks: explicit scanner name and outcome;
+- check details: the actual attributed result marker and any evidence conflicts;
+- collection: pending, success, failure, or skipped state for each collector;
+- sources: raw artifact paths.
+
+Rules consume only this model. They do not parse terminal output and do not invoke tools.
+
+Dedicated checks are registered in `rpcscope/catalog.py`. CLI NetExec checks run in single-module, bounded live-host batches; unrelated modules remain separate processes. The five bind-only exposure methods share `METHOD=All` only when the complete unchanged set was selected. Each check keeps a separate normalized result. `longlogon` is native Python and estimates a naming precondition over CLDAP, not vulnerability or patch status.
+
+The registry also distinguishes interface exposure and information gathering. Accepted RPC binds are `exposed`; spooler registrations and OXID interface results are `observed`. They become informational findings rather than CVE verdicts. `CheckAttempt` preserves backend-specific evidence, and conflicting positive/negative results are highlighted directly in minimal reports.
+
+`advisories.py` contains a separate review-only metadata registry for 2020–2026 issues. `sync-cves` refreshes fixed Microsoft CNA records without changing `catalog.CHECKS`, importing code, or generating host vulnerability verdicts.
+
+Discovery uses `--discovery-workers` (256 by default) for lightweight TCP probing and NetExec inventory. A check batch has at most `--jobs` live targets (8 by default, capped at 128 per command) and the same NetExec thread limit. Batches run sequentially; afterward the Python host pool has at most `--jobs` active futures. This avoids nested concurrency multiplication. Host pipelines run native/optional MSF checks, RPC dump, then optional full enum4linux. Full enum is enabled by `--deep` in the CLI; the library retains the old defaults. Dead targets never receive pending checks or host futures. TCP timeout/closed are completed reachability outcomes; an unprobed target indicates a real discovery interruption/deadline, while local resource exhaustion is explicitly a scan failure.
+
+A thread-safe progress callback emits task start/finish events to stderr for reachable hosts and silently advances counts for unreachable ones. A separate callback publishes atomic report snapshots as host jobs finish. Parsing uses original in-memory output, while saved artifacts and check details redact supplied credentials; redaction cannot alter target addresses or detection markers before classification.
+
+Execution completion is independent of evidence certainty. `inconclusive` and `suspected` are completed results; ordinary skipped checks are counted outside the eligible denominator. Failed processes, pending work and cancellation remain partial. Text and Markdown show reachable hosts; JSON retains the full expanded scope and all discovery states.
+
+`netexec.py` plans batches and inspects installed CLI capabilities without importing scanner code. Help inspection is cached; read-only share semantics must be known. Output is indexed once by IP/module/port, and known zero-exit host exceptions do not masquerade as successful collection. See `NETEXEC_REVIEW.md` for pinned upstream references and verification limits.
+
+## Rule quality bar
+
+Every rule should include a stable ID, severity, confidence, exact evidence, impact, remediation, and a primary reference when one exists. New rules need positive and negative fixtures. Avoid CVE claims based only on banners, UUIDs, OS names, or open ports.
+
+## NDRaider boundary
+
+NDRaider can statically recover interface UUIDs and typed NDR method grammars from Windows binaries, then generate structure-aware fuzz inputs. That complements RPCScope in a lab workflow:
+
+1. RPCScope observes a vendor UUID on an authorized target.
+2. The assessor obtains the matching server binary through an approved process.
+3. NDRaider analyzes the binary offline and exports grammar JSON.
+4. A future importer correlates UUID/version/method counts with the remote observation.
+5. Any live fuzzing remains a separate, explicit active-testing profile.
+
+Keeping that boundary prevents a fast inventory scan from unexpectedly becoming a fuzzer.
+
+See `CHECKER_POLICY.md` for the CVE synchronization and future proof-of-execution requirements.

+# Checker and CVE policy
+
+## Result states
+
+Every implemented check must return an explicit state:
+
+- `vulnerable`: the dedicated checker returned its documented positive marker;
+- `not-vulnerable`: the checker completed and returned its documented negative marker;
+- `suspected`: the checker found a capability or permission indicator requiring independent validation;
+- `exposed`: the selected RPC interface accepted a bind; no coercion or exploitation was demonstrated;
+- `observed`: inventory information was returned, such as registered spooler endpoints or advertised network interface addresses;
+- `inconclusive`: the probe completed without enough evidence, including silence, access denial or an unsupported response;
+- `precondition-met`, `precondition-not-met`, `precondition-borderline`: an empirical prerequisite estimate, not a vulnerability or patch verdict;
+- `skipped-*`: the check could not run, for example because credentials were required.
+- `pending`: the selected checker has not finished; used by live report checkpoints.
+
+An exposed RPC UUID, OS banner, open port, or legacy protocol is an `EXPOSURE`, not a confirmed vulnerability.
+
+`NOT VULNERABLE (SELECTED CHECKS)` is permitted only when selected vulnerability checks produced explicit negatives, no selected checks were skipped or unknown, and collection completed without evidence conflicts. Inventory and precondition results cannot independently produce that verdict. Result markers must match the expected module and host. Nonzero exits, contradictory messages, and silence cannot produce definitive results.
+
+Execution completion and evidence certainty are separate: `suspected` and `inconclusive` count as completed checks, with uncertainty printed explicitly. Ordinary `skipped-*` results are excluded from the execution denominator and counted as `SKIPPED`; they never imply a negative. Failed processes, pending stages and cancellation still mark the scan partial. Closed/timed-out discovery services are completed reachability outcomes, not failed vulnerability checks; no host pipeline is queued without a reachable TCP/135 or TCP/445 service.
+
+SMBGhost's dialect/compression indicator, PrintNightmare's driver-permission probe, and noPac's PAC-size heuristic produce `suspected` results. The removed NetExec NTLM reflection module is disabled pending an adapter for its replacement.
+
+## Catalog synchronization
+
+Metadata and executable checks have different lifecycles:
+
+1. CVE metadata should be refreshed from the NVD CVE API.
+2. Exploitation-in-the-wild priority should be overlaid from CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities JSON feed.
+3. Microsoft Windows applicability and remediation should link to the MSRC Update Guide.
+4. RPC interface identity should link to the relevant Microsoft Open Specifications document.
+5. A new CVE remains `metadata-only` until a deterministic positive and negative probe, fixtures, and target-version notes exist.
+
+Keyword searches for “RPC,” “Netlogon,” or “spooler” are discovery aids only. They cannot safely create executable rules because CVE descriptions do not consistently identify a wire protocol, endpoint UUID, remotely observable patch signal, or non-destructive probe.
+
+The implemented `sync-cves` command refreshes curated Microsoft CNA records only. The downloaded dataset is explicitly review-only with `scanner_coverage=false`. It never expands executable CVE/patch detection coverage or labels an individual host vulnerable. LongLogon has a precondition-only adapter included in `recommended`; its existence does not turn this metadata into a patch detector.
+
+## LongLogon boundary
+
+`--checks recommended` includes LongLogon's minimal CLDAP DC-locator queries on UDP/389; `--checks longlogon` selects just that adapter. It first validates an EX identity response, then conditionally measures a fixed one-character-user legacy response after a conservative baseline-size guard. It never sends a maximum-length user field or an overflow trigger. The upstream response-size extrapolation is an empirical heuristic, retained as `PRECONDITION` only. Invalid, mismatched, unsupported, timed-out or EX-only responses are `UNKNOWN`, not negative. No remote patch-state claim is made. Default TCP discovery does not cover UDP-only domain controllers whose TCP/135 and TCP/445 are both unavailable.
+
+## Validation and exploitation
+
+Future proof-of-execution adapters should live behind a separate command, not the scan command. The intended guardrails are:
+
+- exactly one host and one check per invocation;
+- a second explicit authorization flag;
+- no CIDRs, target files, arbitrary shell commands, persistence, payload listeners, or credential dumping;
+- a fixed proof that returns identity and OS/build only;
+- no proof text in the report unless the target returned it;
+- a target-change and cleanup declaration for every adapter;
+- disabled adapters for checks whose only reliable proof risks corruption, password changes, denial of service, or persistent artifacts.
+
+This keeps the resume project useful for validation while preventing a routine audit from silently becoming an exploitation campaign.

+# NetExec execution review
+
+Reviewed upstream revision: `89a698d93dfc101e7104d42523aac4765372cd7d`.
+This is an interface/architecture review, not copied NetExec implementation code.
+RPCScope continues to invoke the operator's installed executable.
+
+## Findings and implementation
+
+| Finding | RPCScope change |
+| --- | --- |
+| NetExec starts a protocol object per target in a thread pool, default 256 workers. | 256 lightweight discovery workers; bounded live-host batches for heavier checks. |
+| Our old runner launched one NetExec process for every host/check pair. | One process per module/live-host batch, amortizing imports and initialization. |
+| Full enum4linux `-A` preceded the dedicated probes. | Dedicated probes first; normal CLI leaves full enumeration to `--deep`. RPC dump remains enabled. |
+| NetExec supports multiple modules per SMB session, but its module loop does not isolate arbitrary callback exceptions. | Keep unrelated modules in separate processes; no automatic retry of failed probes. |
+| All five selected `coerce_plus` bind methods can use `METHOD=All` without a listener. | Combine only the complete, unchanged five-method selection. Subsets stay separate. Each method still has its own result record. |
+| Current NetExec uses ACL-based share checks and opts into file writes with `--file-write-check`. Older versions offered `--no-write-check`. | Inspect installed help, select a known read-only mode, otherwise skip with an explicit error. Never enable file-write testing. |
+| Admin checking adds an SCM RPC exchange; our adapters use `on_login`, not `on_admin_login`. | Use `--no-admin-check` only when the installed CLI advertises support. |
+| NetExec may catch individual host exceptions and still exit zero. | Attribute known host exceptions and mark that host's check failed/unknown without invalidating other hosts. |
+| Console output can contain credential echoes, truncated module labels and unrecognized messages. | Index by canonical IP/module/port once per batch; allow known label truncation; require documented full negative markers. |
+| Reviewed MS17-010 and SMBGhost modules create IPv4 sockets. | Skip these adapters explicitly on IPv6 rather than pretending a checker executed successfully. |
+| Local socket limits and noisy subprocesses could produce misleading outcomes or excessive temporary output. | Report local resource exhaustion as an execution failure, and actively stop over-limit output. |
+
+## Execution and budgets
+
+```text
+scope -> TCP discovery -> NetExec inventory (open SMB listeners only)
+      -> same-module NetExec check batches (live, eligible hosts only)
+      -> bounded host pipelines: native / optional MSF / RPC / optional deep enum
+      -> evidence-backed reports
+```
+
+`--jobs` bounds each check batch and the later host pool; these phases do not
+multiply their concurrency. Batches contain no more than 128 targets, even with
+a larger jobs limit, and no more hosts than can execute in one NetExec thread
+wave. A single-check process receives one check timeout. The combined five-bind
+process receives five check timeouts in total; individual methods are not
+independently timed inside that external process. Global batch failures remain
+unknown/partial. Positive evidence is not inferred from process exit alone.
+
+The core library keeps legacy isolated execution and full enum defaults for
+compatibility. CLI defaults select batching and leave full enum to `--deep`.
+`--isolated-checks` is a diagnostic fallback, not an automatic retry policy.
+
+## Verification and limits
+
+The mocked 32-live-host recommended scan executes 28 NetExec check invocations
+instead of the old 352 (seven module groups, four eight-host batches). All twelve
+selected results per host remain represented; inventory and capability-help
+invocations are separate from this count. This is not a wall-clock benchmark.
+
+Tests cover batching, selection boundaries, per-host result isolation, zero-exit
+errors, cancellation, read-only share compatibility, output caps, and resource
+failures. External tools are absent on the development host. Real version
+interoperability, network throughput, and detection sensitivity/specificity are
+not established by mocks and need an authorized, patched/unpatched lab matrix.
+No live target scan was performed for this review.
+
+A bare `nxc smb` connection/banner scan does less work than twelve selected
+checks plus RPC/deep enumeration. The optimization removes avoidable overhead;
+it does not remove the protocol work or turn heuristic findings into patch
+proof. No scanner can promise flawless results across every network/tool build.
