ghostsurf — browser session hijacking via NTLM relay
⚙️ Tools2026-04-06, 13:08
A tool for performing NTLM relay attacks against HTTP/HTTPS targets. Built on the ntlmrelayx module. It allows an attacker to browse a web application as the targeted user via an integrated SOCKS5 proxy.
Features:
📍 Supports multiple users with automatic active session selection.
📍 Bypasses IIS/HTTP.sys kernel‑mode authentication using a preliminary probe request.
📍 Preserves the User‑Agent and Cookie headers to maintain proper application behavior.
Unlike WebRelayX, ghostsurf does not scan HTTP/HTTPS resources for NTLM authentication.
