windows-ad
Teaches your AI agent to research and fact-check information.
What it does
This tool helps test the security of corporate networks, specifically Windows and Active Directory systems. It allows simulating common attacks to find vulnerabilities.
When to use it
- ✓When conducting authorized security tests on corporate networks.
- ✓When researching and learning how Active Directory attacks work in controlled environments (labs).
- ✓When analyzing attack paths and privileges within an Active Directory environment.
Example of what to ask your AI
“I want to test our Active Directory security. What common attack paths can we explore?”

How it works
The tool uses known techniques to investigate how an attacker might gain access and control in an Active Directory environment. It maps relationships and tries to find weaknesses.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.
Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:
- Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
- Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
- Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
- Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.
Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.
Windows / Active Directory Security
When to Use
- Mapping and attacking AD trust paths in an authorized engagement.
- Researching escalation routes (AD CS, Kerberos delegation) in labs.
适用场景
- 域渗透、Kerberoasting、AS-REP、委派
- AD CS(ESC1–ESC8 等)证书攻击
- BloodHound / SharpHound 攻击路径
- NTLM Relay / Coercer 强制认证
- 本地提权到域路径(Potato 等作为跳板)
与 attack-chain 关系
- 多阶段从外网到域控 → PRIMARY 可仍是
attack-chain/,本 skill 为 AD 专科 - 已在域内专注身份 → PRIMARY = 本 skill
工作流
1. 枚举
# 示例 Impacket / 内置(需凭据与授权)
nxc smb <range> -u user -p pass
bloodhound-python -d domain.local -u user -p pass -c All -ns <DC>
2. 常见路径(先图后枪)
□ Kerberoast / AS-REP → 离线破解
□ ACL 滥用(GenericAll/WriteDacl)
□ 委派(非约束/约束/基于资源)
□ AD CS 模板错误 → Certipy
□ 中继:LLMNR/NBT-NS + ntlmrelayx(确认授权)
3. 凭证与横向
□ secretsdump / lsassy / mimikatz(严格授权与清理)
□ PtH / PtT / 黄金票仅在授权红队范围
□ 每步写 Evidence;高危等用户确认
工具链

任务完成自检
- 是否先有图/枚举再有利用?
- 是否记录可复现命令并脱敏?
- 是否遵守 scope 禁止项?
- Checklist?
Limitations
- Domain attacks can destabilize production AD; stage in labs first.
- Relay attacks need signing-disabled targets; modern defaults block many paths.

FAQ
Do I need permission to use this tool?
Yes, it is crucial to have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool, as it simulates attacks.
What is Active Directory?
Active Directory is a Microsoft system that manages resources in a corporate network, such as users, computers, and permissions.
Can this tool cause damage?
Yes, attacks in production environments can cause instability. It is recommended to use this tool in labs or controlled test environments first.
