competition-ad-certificate-abuse

competition-ad-certificate-abuse is a skill for Codex from 2233admin/reverse-skill-evolver. It costs 118 tokens per session (673 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of competition-ad-certificate-abuse, MIT.

A specialized workflow for testing certificate-based privilege paths in an Active Directory certificate system. Active Directory is Microsoft's system for managing users, computers, and permissions across a network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it within the required CTF sandbox workflow to examine certificate authorities, templates, enrollment rights, authentication methods, and the smallest reproducible certificate-to-privilege path.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether certificate settings and permissions create a working path to privileged access, while keeping certificate issuance separate from authentication.

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

competition-ad-certificate-abuse 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 6d 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.

Competition AD Certificate Abuse

Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator is already active and has established sandbox assumptions, node ownership, and evidence priorities. If that has not happened yet, return to $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator first.

Use this skill when the decisive identity edge is certificate-based and the hard part is proving how a template or CA policy turns into accepted privilege.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

  1. Identify the CA, template, enrolling principal, and accepting service before diving into every certificate detail.
  2. Separate template enrollability from cert-based authentication or privilege acceptance.
  3. Record EKUs, subject or SAN controls, issuance requirements, enrollment rights, and mapping behavior in compact blocks.
  4. Tie the issued cert to one accepted path: PKINIT, Schannel, LDAPS, WinRM, or another mapped service.
  5. Reproduce the smallest certificate issuance-to-acceptance chain that yields the decisive privilege.

Workflow

1. Map CA And Template Trust

  • Record CA configuration, template name, enrollment permissions, manager approval, authorized signatures, EKUs, subject requirements, and SAN behavior.
  • Note whether the path depends on alternate subject names, UPN, DNS names, enrollment agent behavior, or template supersedence.
  • Keep principal, template, and issuance policy tied together.

2. Prove Cert-To-Privilege Acceptance

  • Show how the issued certificate is mapped or accepted: PKINIT, smartcard logon, Schannel auth, service mapping, or explicit certificate mapping.
  • Record serial, subject, SAN, EKU, validity, and the exact service or domain edge that accepts it.
  • Distinguish certificate issuance from the separate step where privilege is actually granted.

3. Reduce To The Decisive Abuse Chain

  • Compress the path to the smallest sequence: enrollment right or misconfig -> issued cert -> accepted mapping -> resulting privilege.
  • State clearly whether the weakness lives in template config, CA policy, mapping logic, relay path, or enrollment rights.
  • If the task is really about delegation or ticket transformation after PKINIT, switch back to the tighter Kerberos skill.

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.
