netexec

A skill for NetExec, a network security tool used to assess services across large networks. NetExec can work with services such as SMB, LDAP, SSH, RDP, and databases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking and assessing authorized network services, working with groups of hosts, choosing service-specific options, and using supported authentication methods.
Why use it?
It puts the tool's commands, target formats, login methods, and service options in one reference for network assessments.

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 C, and why

netexec scanned grade C 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 yesterday.

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 variableshighData exfiltration

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

NetExec (nxc) Skill

Overview

NetExec (nxc) is a network service exploitation tool for assessing large networks. It supports SMB, LDAP, WinRM, MSSQL, SSH, FTP, RDP, WMI, NFS, and VNC protocols.

Authentication

Credentials

# Password
nxc <protocol> <target> -u username -p password

# NT hash (pass-the-hash)
nxc <protocol> <target> -u username -H 'NTHASH'
nxc <protocol> <target> -u username -H 'LM:NT'

# Special chars / dashes in creds
nxc <protocol> <target> -u username -p 'October2022!'
nxc <protocol> <target> -u='-username' -p='-October2022'

# From database by credential ID
nxc <protocol> <target> -id <cred_id>

# Multi-domain (FILE format: DOMAIN\user per line)
nxc <protocol> <target> -u FILE -p password

Brute Force & Password Spraying

# Multiple users/passwords inline
nxc <protocol> <target> -u user1 user2 -p Summer18
nxc <protocol> <target> -u user1 -p pass1 pass2 pass3

# From files
nxc <protocol> <target> -u users.txt -p passwords.txt
nxc <protocol> <target> -u users.txt -H hashes.txt

# No bruteforce (1 user = 1 password, paired)
nxc <protocol> <target> -u users.txt -p passwords.txt --no-bruteforce
nxc <protocol> <target> -u users.txt -H hashes.txt --no-bruteforce

# Continue after success
nxc <protocol> <target> -u users.txt -p 'Summer18' --continue-on-success

# Jitter between requests (seconds or range)
nxc <protocol> <target> --jitter 3 -u users.txt -p passwords.txt
nxc <protocol> <target> --jitter 2-5 -u users.txt -p passwords.txt

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.

netexec is a skill published in the GitHub repository jessefmoore/offensive-claude-code (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 9,524 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (harvests environment variables). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
