ntlm-relay-coercion

ntlm-relay-coercion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yaklang/hack-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,455 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to NTLM relay and authentication coercion, attacks that capture a Windows login exchange and forward it to another service. It covers relaying authentication between services such as SMB, LDAP, HTTP, and MSSQL.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when assessing Windows domains, authentication services, signing requirements, and coercion paths.
Why use it?
It helps identify Windows network configurations that allow captured authentication to be reused for unauthorized access or privilege changes.

About the project

HackSkills is an organized knowledge base of installable skills that gives AI agents practical security knowledge across areas such as web security, privilege escalation, reverse engineering, and digital forensics. It is intended for bug bounty work, penetration testing, CTF competitions, and authorized security research. The catalogue entries are the project's own master, category, and topic skills.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high YARA Match · line 70
    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.
  • low Privilege Escalation · line 4
    Skill requests more permissions than appear necessary for its stated functionality. Review if elevated access is justified.
    Fix: Request only the minimum permissions required. Document why each permission is needed. Remove broad permissions like '*' or 'all'.

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

ntlm-relay-coercion 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 8d 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: NTLM Relay and Authentication Coercion — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert NTLM relay and coercion techniques. Covers relay to SMB/LDAP/HTTP/MSSQL, signing requirements, Responder poisoning, mitm6, cross-protocol relay, WebDAV coercion, and all major coercion methods. Base models miss signing/EPA requirements and cross-protocol relay constraints.

Before going deep, consider loading:

Also load COERCION_METHODS.md when you need:

  • Detailed coercion method comparison (PetitPotam, PrinterBug, DFSCoerce, etc.)
  • RPC function-level details and prerequisites
  • Coercer tool usage and discovery

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.
