Commands:
  fake   Launch fake LDAP server
  proxy  Launch proxy LDAP server
  jndi   Java JNDI Exploits

SSL/TLS/StartTLS listeners use a self-signed certificiate if no other certificate is provided. --tls-cipher and --tls-proto can be used to set the allowed ciphers. However, using legacy algorithms requires adjustments to the Java installation's java.security.properties file. See https://www.java.com/en/configure_crypto.html

Subcommands - Modes of Operation

fake - Fake Server

Just intercept credentials or provide some data to the client.

Additional options:

 --load=    LDIF file with data to load
 --schema=  LDIF file containing schema definition
            (if the server is not run --schemaless a basic default schema is applied)
> java -jar target/ldap-swak-0.0.5-SNAPSHOT-all.jar fake -p 1389
12:52:32.484 INFO FakeServer - Starting StartTLS listener on *:1389

> ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost:1389/ -ZZ -x -D cn=test -w test
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

=> 12:53:35.653 INFO CredentialsOperationInterceptor - Intercepted credentials cn=test:test

proxy - Proxy Server

Forward all requests to a set of target servers. This also records intercepted credentials.
