 It's mentioned that the SP of this application can be still be used to perform some privileged actions using an undocumented API, but no PoC has been found yet afaik.\
 In any case, thinking that this might be possible it would be interesting to explore further how to find the certificate to login as this service principal and try to abuse it.
 
-This [blog post](https://posts.specterops.io/update-dumping-entra-connect-sync-credentials-4a9114734f71) release soon before the change from using the `Sync_*` user to this service principal, explained that the certificate was stored inside the server and it was possible to find it, generate PoP (Proof of Possession) of it and graph token, and with this, be able to add a new certificate to the service principal (because a **service principal** can always assign itself new certificates) and then use it to maintain persistence as the SP.

-In my experience, the certificate is no longer stored in the place where the previous tool was looking for it, and therefore, the tool doesn't work anymore. So further research might be needed.
+According to [this question](https://github.com/hotnops/ECUtilities/issues/1#issuecomment-3220989919), in order to find the certificate, you must run the tool from a process that has **stolen the token of the `miiserver` process**.
