- Around line 97-100: Update the comment for ConvertComputerToNode to clarify
that absent RestrictSendingNtlmTraffic derives RestrictOutboundNTLM as false,
while other absent NTLM registry values are cleared to nil; preserve the
existing behavior and adjust documentation only.

subtest for a collected computer whose RestrictSendingNtlmTraffic registry value
is nil. Assert that conversion sets itemProps[ad.RestrictOutboundNTLM.String()]
to false, preserving the distinction between collected default data and an
uncollected property.

I filed the original issue (#2534), so thanks for picking this up. I went through the change and I think it's right. One thing: putting the fix in ingest rather than in NewNTLMCache (like the earlier #3305) covers more than it looks. Three places read restrictoutboundntlm and fail closed when it's missing:
If you only patch the cache you get the edges, but the composition and coercion target panels will still be empty for those same computers. Setting the property to false at ingest fixes all three at once, since they all just read the property. A few small things:

@chryzsh thanks for the close read — that's exactly right, and I've made the fix you flagged. The Pushed to the PR as On the e2e edge test — agreed it's the higher-value coverage and the #1787 precedent is a fair warning. That path needs a new fixture pair under |
When the RestrictSendingNtlmTraffic registry key is absent (the default Windows configuration), the RestrictOutboundNTLM node property is left unset during ingest. NewNTLMCache treated any property read error as fail-closed and skipped those computers, silently dropping CoerceAndRelay edges in most deployments. Per Microsoft's docs, an undefined value is equivalent to 'Allow all', so a missing property should be treated as unrestricted. Keep fail-closed for genuine read errors to avoid false positives.

…omputerToNode RestrictOutboundNTLM is now explicitly set in both branches of the RestrictSendingNtlmTraffic check (to the parity comparison in the present case, and to false—the Windows' allow-all default—when the key is absent), so the initial nil assignment in the registry clear block is dead code. Removing it also makes the code say one consistent thing about the default: a collected-but-absent key maps to false, not nil. Refs SpecterOps#2534 Signed-off-by: sanjio3 <2433877589@qq.com>

Clear RestrictOutboundNTLM when NTLM registry data is not collected. ConvertComputerToNode preserves an existing Properties value when Collected is false. An input computer can therefore carry restrictoutboundntlm: false into the converter. NewNTLMCache accepts false, and the NTLM path and target filters also accept it, so NTLM edges can include a computer whose registry state is unavailable. Set itemProps[ad.RestrictOutboundNTLM.String()] to nil on the uncollected path to preserve fail-closed behavior. No change to NewNTLMCache or the traversal filters is required.

Fixes #2534
Summary
When the
RestrictSendingNtlmTrafficregistry key is absent (the default Windows configuration — the "Network security: Restrict NTLM: Outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers" policy never configured), therestrictoutboundntlmnode property was left unset during ingest.NewNTLMCachetreated any property read error as fail-closed, skipping those computers fromUnprotectedComputersCacheand silently dropping all fourCoerceAndRelayNTLMTo*edge types in most deployments (a regression from #1787 which changed the registry fields to nullable pointers).Per Microsoft's documentation, an undefined value is equivalent to "Allow all" — so a collected-but-default computer should be treated as unrestricted.
