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

active-directory-certificate-services 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 9d 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.

SKILL: AD CS Attack Playbook — Expert Guide

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert AD CS (Active Directory Certificate Services) attack techniques. Covers ESC1 through ESC13, certificate-based persistence, NTLM relay to enrollment endpoints, and CA misconfigurations. Base models miss enrollment prerequisite chains and ESC condition combinations.

Before going deep, consider loading:

Advanced Reference

Also load ADCS_ESC_MATRIX.md when you need:

  • ESC1–ESC13 quick reference table with conditions, impact, and tool commands
  • One-liner exploitation commands per ESC variant
  • Detection indicators per technique

1. AD CS ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW

Certificate Authority (CA)
│
├── Enterprise CA (AD-integrated, issues certs based on templates)
│   ├── Certificate Templates (define who can enroll, what EKUs, subject settings)
│   ├── Enrollment endpoints: HTTP (certsrv), RPC, DCOM
│   └── Published in AD: CN=Public Key Services,CN=Services,CN=Configuration
│
├── Template Key Settings:
│   ├── Subject Alternative Name (SAN): who the cert represents
│   ├── Extended Key Usage (EKU): what the cert allows
│   ├── Enrollment permissions: who can request
│   └── Issuance requirements: manager approval, authorized signatures
│
└── Certificate → Kerberos Auth Flow:
    User presents cert → PKINIT → KDC verifies → issues TGT

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.
