# COM-Hunter
COM Hijacking VOODOO
## Description
COM-Hunter is a COM Hijacking persistnce tool written in C#.
The following list explains the available modes:
- **Search Mode**: Searches for CLSIDs based on `LocalServer32`, `InprocServer32`, and registry hives `HKLM` and `HKCU`.
- **Classic Persist Mode**: Performs classic COM hijacking persistence using `LocalServer32` or `InprocServer32`.
- **Task Scheduler Mode**: Automatically establishes COM hijacking persistence via Task Scheduler using `LocalServer32` or `InprocServer32`.
- **TreatAs Mode**: Performs COM hijacking persistence via the TreatAs registry key and a fake (forwardable) CLSID using `LocalServer32` or `InprocServer32`.
