    Project mention: Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026) | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-12

    im developing some FOSS cybersec tools lately and im getting some nice feedback so it motivates me, the tools are

    Skewrun -> a tool that solves the Kerberos KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW (Clock Skew Too Great) error, allowing you to run tools like Impacket or NetExec from a Linux attack machine whose clock is heavily desynchronized from the target Windows domain, without requiring root privileges to change the system time. (https://github.com/JVBotelho/skewrun)

    GhostHound -> an Bloodhound opengraph lib that deals with Tombstone reanimation as a BloodHound attack path, enumerating CN=Deleted Objects and who can restore them (https://github.com/JVBotelho/ghosthound), this one even landed in Bloodhound's documentation as community lib
