ad-discovery

ad-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from blacklanternsecurity/red-run. It costs 17 tokens per session (7,686 once invoked), scanned B, original, AGPL-3.0.

An authorized penetration-testing skill for mapping Active Directory, the Windows system that manages users, computers, and permissions. It enumerates domains and identifies the systems and relationships that make up the environment's attack surface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover Active Directory domains and assess their exposed accounts, systems, relationships, and potential attack paths during a permitted test.
Why use it?
Active Directory environments can contain many connected accounts, computers, and permissions that are difficult to review manually. Mapping them helps reveal areas that need security attention.

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

ad-discovery scanned grade B with 2 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 2mo 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.

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

credentials, DC IP, domain name. Do not dump credentials inline.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

requires sudo which subagents cannot run.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing 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.
