ad-attacks

ad-attacks is a skill for Claude Code from kalpmodi/akira. It costs 95 tokens per session (381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A redirect guide for attacking Microsoft Active Directory, the system many organizations use to manage Windows users, computers, and permissions. The actual techniques are now part of the redteam skill.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting AD-focused testing with techniques such as Kerberoasting, BloodHound analysis, LDAP checks, and domain-compromise chains.
Why use it?
It points security testers to the current place for AD attack guidance instead of maintaining duplicate instructions.

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 A, and why

ad-attacks scanned grade A with 0 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 6d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Active Directory Attacks - Redirect Stub

AD attack TTPs have been consolidated into the redteam skill, which is the canonical source for all AD, post-exploitation, lateral movement, and APT simulation techniques.

Immediately invoke:

/redteam <target> --focus=ad

The --focus=ad flag tells redteam to prioritize:

  1. BloodHound collection and shortest-path analysis
  2. Kerberoasting + AS-REP roasting
  3. LDAP enumeration (null session -> authenticated)
  4. Pass-the-Hash / Pass-the-Ticket chains
  5. ADCS ESC1-ESC8 certificate abuse
  6. Constrained/unconstrained delegation + RBCD
  7. DCSync + DCShadow
  8. GPO abuse + ACL abuse (T1484 / T1222)
  9. Golden/Silver ticket forge
  10. Domain compromise - NTDS.dit extraction

All techniques are documented in ~/.claude/skills/redteam/SKILL.md under Classes RT04, RT05, RT05b, RT05c.

For full APT kill chain (C2, LotL, AMSI bypass, persistence, defense evasion, cloud APT, exfil, OPSEC) run /redteam <target> without the focus flag after obtaining a foothold.

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.

ad-attacks is a skill published in the GitHub repository kalpmodi/akira (21 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 381 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
