password-spraying

password-spraying is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from blacklanternsecurity/red-run. It costs 63 tokens per session (7,208 once invoked), scanned B, original, GPL-3.0.

A set of techniques for testing password spraying, where a small number of commonly used passwords are tried against many accounts instead of many passwords against one account. It supports Active Directory, SSH, websites and other username-and-password services.

In plain words
What is it for?
For choosing target services, checking lockout constraints and controlling spray intensity across SMB, Kerberos, LDAP, SSH, web forms and OWA.
Why use it?
It helps test reused or weak passwords while considering account lockout rules, which can disable users after too many failed attempts.

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

password-spraying 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 5d 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.

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

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.
