ad-recon

ad-recon is a command for Claude Code from ADScanPro/Claude-AD. It costs 46 tokens per session (380 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for collecting read-only information about an organization’s Active Directory, the system Windows networks use to manage users, computers, and permissions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory users, groups, service accounts, permissions, certificate templates, trusts, and a BloodHound CE graph showing relationships.
Why use it?
It gathers the facts needed for a security assessment without changing the directory, and stops if the authorized scope is missing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ad-recon scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Run reconnaissance / collection against $1.

Authorized engagements only. This reads the scope defined by /ad-scope; if ./ad-engagement/scope.md does not exist, tell the operator to run /ad-scope $1 first and stop.

Steps:

  1. Read ./ad-engagement/scope.md and confirm the domain $1, DC IP, and the credentials/privilege level to use are present. Surface any forbidden actions the client set.

  2. Launch the ad-enumerator agent with that scope. It runs the collection phase with standard tools (netexec/nxc, impacket, rusthound-ce or bloodhound-python for the BloodHound CE graph, certipy find) and follows ad-methodology, ad-environment-constraints and ad-opsec-telemetry.

  3. Collection is read-only. The enumerator must not modify the directory; if the scope forbids specific enumeration (for example loud BloodHound collection), respect it.

  4. When the agent returns, save its structured inventory under ./ad-engagement/ and print a short summary: counts of users/groups, kerberoastable and AS-REP-roastable accounts, vulnerable ADCS templates, interesting ACLs, trusts, and the BloodHound CE zip path.

Do not plan or execute a path here. Next step is /ad-attack-paths $1.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
