It is the foundation that most of our tools build on, so each release tends to focus on making one or two of those primitives more correct and more pleasant to use. In v1.0.7 I focused on the <code>keycredential</code> package: extending its cryptographic key support, tidying up its internal structure, and aligning one piece of its API with the naming conventions used across the rest of the library.</p>https://themanticoreproject.com/blog/manticore-v1-0-6-windows-cng-bcrypt-structs/Fri, 07 Nov 2025 09:07:33 +0000https://themanticoreproject.com/blog/manticore-v1-0-6-windows-cng-bcrypt-structs/<p>Manticore is the Go library that backs the offensive and defensive security tooling of The Manticore Project. It collects the low-level primitives those tools rely on: wire structures, cryptographic key formats, identifier types, and parsers for the binary blobs that Windows and Active Directory hand you. The goal is that a tool author never has to re-implement a security descriptor parser or a UUID generator from scratch.</p> <p>In this release, v1.0.6, I focused on two fronts. The first is breadth: new Windows CNG/BCrypt key structures and the remaining members of the UUID family. The second is consistency: a sweep across the codebase to align naming and parsing APIs so that everything behaves the same way.</p>
