Culvert is a setup automation script for ligolo-ng tunneling. The following behaviors are features, not bugs:
- Downloading ligolo-ng binaries from GitHub releases
- Creating TUN interfaces with root privileges
- Starting an HTTP file server for agent transfer
- Generating agent commands with auto-detected IP addresses
- Managing IP routes through the TUN interface
- Running ligolo-proxy with self-signed certificates
These capabilities exist by design for legitimate security testing. Reports that simply describe Culvert working as intended will be closed.
