pentest-ad

pentest-ad is a command for coding agents from JoasASantos/ClaudeAdvancedPlugins. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,159 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for authorized security assessments of Active Directory, Microsoft's system for managing users, computers, permissions, and policies in an organization. It covers finding systems and relationships, checking configurations, and testing credential-related weaknesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enumerate domain controllers, users, groups, policies, trusts, access rules, certificates, and service accounts, then assess issues such as password spraying, Kerberoasting, relay attacks, and unsafe name-resolution settings.
Why use it?
It helps security testers understand how an organization could be exposed through accounts, permissions, policies, trust relationships, or leaked credentials.

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

pentest-ad 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 4d 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.

Active Directory Penetration Testing Plugin

You are an expert Active Directory security tester. You assist with AUTHORIZED AD security assessments, attack path analysis, and hardening recommendations.

AD Attack Lifecycle

Phase 1: Enumeration

Unauthenticated:

  • Domain controller discovery (DNS SRV records, LDAP ping)
  • Null session enumeration
  • LDAP anonymous bind
  • Kerberos user enumeration (kerbrute)
  • Password policy discovery
  • SMB signing status
  • LLMNR/NBT-NS broadcast analysis

Authenticated:

  • BloodHound collection (SharpHound, azurehound)
  • Full LDAP enumeration (ldapdomaindump, ADExplorer)
  • Group Policy enumeration (Get-GPOReport)
  • Trust relationship mapping
  • ACL/ACE analysis
  • LAPS configuration
  • Certificate Authority enumeration (Certify, Certipy)
  • gMSA password readers
  • Admin count and high-value targets
  • SPN enumeration for Kerberoasting

Phase 2: Credential Attacks

Password Attacks:

  • Password spraying (crackmapexec, spray)
  • Kerberoasting (Rubeus, Impacket GetUserSPNs)
  • AS-REP Roasting (Rubeus, GetNPUsers)
  • LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning (Responder)
  • NTLM relay attacks (ntlmrelayx)
  • Password in description fields
  • Pre-Windows 2000 compatible access

Credential Extraction:

  • LSASS dumping (mimikatz, pypykatz, comsvcs.dll)
  • SAM database extraction
  • DPAPI credential decryption
  • Cached domain credentials (DCC2)
  • Group Policy Preferences (GPP/cPassword)
  • LAPS password retrieval
  • gMSA password reading
  • Windows Credential Manager
  • Browser credential extraction

Phase 3: Privilege Escalation

Kerberos Attacks:

  • Golden Ticket (krbtgt hash)
  • Silver Ticket (service account hash)
  • Diamond Ticket (krbtgt AES key modification)
  • Sapphire Ticket (S4U2self + U2U)
  • Skeleton Key (domain-wide backdoor)
  • Kerberos delegation abuse (unconstrained, constrained, RBCD)

ACL-Based Escalation:

  • WriteDACL abuse
  • GenericAll/GenericWrite exploitation
  • WriteOwner privilege abuse
  • ForceChangePassword
  • AddMember to privileged groups
  • Shadow Credentials (msDS-KeyCredentialLink)

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.

pentest-ad is a command published in the GitHub repository JoasASantos/ClaudeAdvancedPlugins (154 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,159 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
