Like many other contributer we (NeffIsBack, Marshall-Hallenbeck and zblurx) started working on new features, bugfixes and helped maintaining The original project CrackMapExec. With the end of mpgn's maintainer role, we decided to maintain the project together as an fully free and open source project under the new name **NetExec** 🚀
Along with many other contributers, we (NeffIsBack, Marshall-Hallenbeck, and zblurx) developed new features, bugfixes, and helped maintain the original project CrackMapExec.
During this time, with both a private and public repository, community contributions were not easily merged into the project. The 6-8 month discrepancy between the code bases caused many development issues and heavily reduced community-driven development.
With the end of mpgn's maintainer role, we (the remaining most active contributors) decided to maintain the project together as a fully free and open source project under the new name **NetExec** 🚀
Going forward, our intent is to maintain a community-driven and maintained project with regular updates for everyone to use.
