Patch release focused on Server 2025 support and a big transport-layer perf win.

Highlights

  • BadSuccessor (Server 2025 dMSA) now works end-to-end. The Server 2025 schema requires dNSHostName, msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes, and msDS-ManagedPasswordInterval on the added dMSA, and the structural class chain conflicts with an explicit computer/user/person list — fixed. attack badsuccessor --dmsa-name pwn --target <victim> creates a delegated MSA that inherits the victim's PAC on the next TGT (Yuval Gordon / Akamai 2025).
  • 12× perf on the RRP secretsdump path (1083 ms → 91 ms best-of-3) and equivalent gains across every small-request scenario (SAMR enum 225 → 63 ms, RBCD write 80 → 49 ms, ADCS enum 147 → 67 ms, LDAP name→SID 192 → 59 ms). One line: TCP_NODELAY on every SMB/RPC dial — Nagle was adding up to 40 ms per sealed opnum. Inherited automatically via smb2-client 0.2.1.
  • Bench matrix rebuilt on a live Server 2025 Standard DC (testlab.local, LDAPS via enterprise CA). 11 wins vs impacket/certipy/bloodyAD/NetExec + 1 exclusive (BadSuccessor has no Python-toolkit implementation). Full matrix in docs/BENCHMARKS.md.

Compatibility

Zero API breaks — patch bump. All existing cargo install adhammer users get the fixes on cargo update. The dcerpc::drsuapi module is deprecated in favor of the standalone ms-drsr crate but continues to work as a compat shim.
