+LinPEAS keeps expanding vendor-specific coverage; as of 29-Nov-2025 it warns when IGEL OS appliances still ship the SUID `setup`/`date` helpers that allow NetworkManager/systemd configuration hijacking (Metasploit module `linux/local/igel_network_priv_esc`).

+## Recent Updates
+
+- Added Active Directory awareness checks to highlight Kerberos-only environments (NTLM restrictions) and time skew issues before attempting ticket-based attacks.
+- winPEAS.ps1 now reviews AD-integrated DNS ACLs to flag zones where low-privileged users can register/modify records (dynamic DNS hijack risk).
+- Enumerates high-value SPN accounts and weak gMSA password readers so you can immediately target Kerberoastable admins or abused service accounts.
+- Surfaces Schannel certificate mapping settings to warn about ESC10-style certificate abuse opportunities when UPN mapping is enabled.
