March 2026: Delivered a consolidated Windows Kernel Pointer Exposure Enumerator (KPPE) capability for the Metasploit Framework, with a new KPPE module, a post module, and a reusable Windows kernel handles library. Reorganized related code from auxiliary into post/windows/gather, completed comprehensive documentation, and achieved RuboCop-compliant code quality. Implementations include automatic session handling, enhanced loot reporting with file size notifications, and cleaner, testable forensics components. These changes improve data collection reliability and reduce maintenance burden for Windows kernel enumeration features.
