Praetorian cited our Hawk tool and companion blog post in their research on how vulnerability scanners using password-based authentication can become credential-theft targets. Their article highlights ptrace-based credential interception techniques and notes that Linux EDR often fails to detect such methods. That underscores the relevance of tools like Hawk for both red team operations and defensive awareness.
