notes: |
  Vulnerability: compute_netlogon_credential uses an ALL-ZERO IV with AES-CFB8.
  Combined with attacker control of client_challenge and the 1/256 probability
  of a zero-collapsing session key, this allows authentication bypass.
  Hunter MUST identify:
    1. The IV is hard-coded zero (memset to 0).
    2. CFB8 with controlled plaintext and predictable IV is exploitable.
    3. Bypass results in arbitrary Netlogon authentication.
