ad-killer

ad-killer is a skill for Claude Code from oyi77/1ai-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (7,073 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An authorised penetration-testing guide for Windows Active Directory, the system used to manage users, computers, and permissions in many organisations. It covers ways to move from a limited account to broader domain access.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps assess domain privilege escalation, credential exposure, attack paths, certificate-service weaknesses, and lateral movement during an internal security test.
Why use it?
Misconfigured permissions and authentication systems can let an attacker spread through a Windows network after gaining one foothold.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is echo " 4. Enumerate ACL abuse paths: python3 scripts/check-acl-abuse.py (see Deliverable Format below)".

  • high YARA Match · line 33
    YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.

    Fix: Remove the malware payload or compromised file entirely. Investigate how it entered the skill and audit all other artifacts for additional indicators of compromise.

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-killer 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 7d 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.

Ad Killer

Overview

Compromise Windows Active Directory domains from low-privileged domain user to Domain Admin. Covers the full AD exploitation kill chain: reconnaissance with BloodHound, credential harvesting via Kerberoasting and DCSync, ACL abuse path climbing, ADCS certificate escalation (ESC1-ESC8), and post-exploitation lateral movement across the domain. Every technique maps to MITRE ATT&CK tactics (TA0006 Credential Access, TA0008 Lateral Movement, TA0004 Privilege Escalation).

This skill turns a foothold on one workstation into complete domain compromise, then translates that capability into paid AD penetration testing services for enterprise clients.

When to Use

Trigger phrases:

  • "Active Directory penetration test" / "AD security assessment"
  • "Domain privilege escalation" / "BloodHound attack path analysis"
  • "Kerberoasting / DCSync / ADCS exploitation"
  • "Lateral movement in Windows domains"

Scenarios:

  • Authorized internal pentest against a Windows domain
  • Post-exploitation after gaining initial access to a domain-joined workstation
  • AD security audit for compliance (PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001)
  • Purple team exercise validating AD detection controls
  • Ransomware simulation — test if AD misconfigurations accelerate lateral spread

When NOT to Use

  • Without signed authorization (ROE document) from the domain owner
  • On production domain controllers without prior change management approval
  • When the test scope explicitly excludes AD infrastructure
  • When you are inside a law enforcement or military AD environment without special written approval
  • When the goal is long-term persistence or data theft rather than demonstrating compromise paths

Money-Making Overview

Buyer persona: CISOs and IT directors at mid-market enterprises (200-5,000 employees) who know Active Directory is the backbone of their security but have never had it professionally attacked. These organizations run on AD but have unpatched domain controllers, legacy trusts, weak service account passwords, and misconfigured ACLs. They need to see how a real attacker would move from a workstation to Domain Admin before a ransomware group shows them.

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-killer is a skill published in the GitHub repository oyi77/1ai-skills (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 7,073 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-04.
