## Overview

OUACBypass is a Linux CLI reference and authorized-testing tool for Windows UAC configurations. Users can browse the offline technique catalog, inspect how-to/path information, analyze exported configuration files, and view or export findings. The main workflow is CLI input selection → file analysis → configuration scanning → rendered or exported results; demo analysis uses synthetic registry text. All runtime behavior is concentrated in one Go source file. The excerpt shows only portions of that file, so some documented features are represented without inferred internal call links.

Main entry points: [`OUACBypass.go`](https://github.com/owlsecx/ouacbypass/blob/main/OUACBypass.go) (Findings and stats)
