ntlm-relay-smb-signing-bypass

ntlm-relay-smb-signing-bypass is a skill for Claude Code from akashrpatil/awesome-offensive-security-skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,630 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A penetration-testing procedure for relaying captured Windows NTLM authentication to another computer when SMB signing is not enforced everywhere. NTLM is a Windows login protocol, and SMB is the file-sharing protocol used by Windows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing Active Directory networks, checking SMB-signing enforcement, relaying authentication between Windows hosts, and documenting the resulting security finding.
Why use it?
It helps security testers confirm that inconsistent SMB-signing settings let an attacker reuse a login attempt without guessing the password. The result can show whether this could lead to control of another system.

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 B, and why

ntlm-relay-smb-signing-bypass scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

NTLM Relay & SMB Signing Bypass Architecture

When to Use

  • When conducting an internal Active Directory network assessment systematically discovering uniquely that while Domain Controllers demand aggressive cryptographic 'SMB Signing', standard user workstations (Windows 10) and tertiary file servers (Windows Server 2019) seamlessly possess SMB Signing Enabled: True intrinsically but natively feature SMB Signing Required: False.
  • Rather than merely capturing an authentication hash intrinsically attempting to computationally crack it using Hashcat implicitly (which fails instantly against complex 15-character passwords), systematically relay the identical captured session cryptographically to a secondary target natively achieving comprehensive Remote Code Execution (RCE) instantly without cracking entirely.

Prerequisites

  • Authorized scope and rules of engagement for the target environment
  • Appropriate tools installed on the attack/analysis platform
  • Understanding of the target technology stack and architecture
  • Documentation template ready for findings and evidence capture

Workflow

Phase 1: Validating the SMB Signing Vulnerability (The Pre-Requisite)

# Concept: NTLM Relaying fundamentally fails against ANY target identically demanding 
# `Message Authentication Codes (MAC)` explicitly validating the exact sender inherently 
# (SMB Signing Required). By absolute Microsoft default flawlessly, Domain Controllers REQUIRE 
# signing fundamentally. Workstations identically DO NOT. We must map the exact un-signed targets.

# 1. Utilize Netexec (or CrackMapExec) systematically scanning the entire Class C /24 subnet natively.
nxc smb 10.0.0.0/24 --gen-relay-list targets.txt

# 2. Analyze the Output unequivocally:
# [SMB] 10.0.0.5     (DC-01)   [+] SMB Signing is TRUE. Required is TRUE. (IMMUNE TO RELAY!)
# [SMB] 10.0.0.12    (FILESV)  [+] SMB Signing is TRUE. Required is FALSE. (VULNERABLE TARGET!)
# [SMB] 10.0.0.55    (WIN10)   [+] SMB Signing is TRUE. Required is FALSE. (VULNERABLE TARGET!)

# 3. The `targets.txt` unequivocally compiles an exhaustive list exclusively isolating 
# targets vulnerable implicitly.

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.

ntlm-relay-smb-signing-bypass is a skill published in the GitHub repository akashrpatil/awesome-offensive-security-skills (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 2,630 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
