wtf is offensive-com?

Offensive COM is a collection of study notes about attacking a part of Windows called the Component Object Model, or COM, a system Windows programs use to talk to each other. The repository is aimed at red teamers, meaning security professionals who test computer systems with permission, who want to learn this topic starting from nothing and eventually be able to search for brand new vulnerabilities on their own. The README is upfront that these notes were generated by an AI system called Kimi K3 Swarm and may contain mistakes, invented details, or outdated information, so it tells readers to treat the material as a starting point for their own research rather than a fully trusted reference, and to double check technical details before relying on them. It also states clearly that everything covered is for authorized security testing and research only, using techniques already published by security researchers and vendors, and that using this material against systems you do not own or have written permission to test is illegal in most places. The content is organized into eight numbered chapters that build on each other, starting with COM basics such as how programs identify and activate these components, then moving through specific attack techniques including moving between computers on a network, gaining higher system privileges, bypassing Windows security prompts, and staying persistent on a machine after gaining access. A final chapter ties everything together into a full research process, covering how to search for targets, analyze them, and responsibly report anything found to the affected vendor. Each attack chapter ends with a structured research section meant to turn the material into a repeatable method for finding new issues, and the notes include 28 diagrams to illustrate how these techniques work. The project also keeps six source research documents that the chapters were built from, so readers can check where specific facts and identifiers came from. Since this is a documentation project rather than a runnable application, there is nothing to install, it is meant to be read directly on GitHub. The full README is longer than what was shown.
