Accurate, well-organized cheatsheet — checked the Cypher property names (dontreqpreauth, hasspn), the ACE-to-exploit table, and the ESC1-8 certipy flows and they are correct and ready to paste. Scored unmeasured against baseline: exercising it needs a live AD domain plus impacket/certipy/BloodHound, so a delta over what the model already recalls could not be demonstrated.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What AD Attacks Reference does
A copy-paste offensive Active Directory reference: BloodHound/Neo4j Cypher queries, a Kerberos attack decision tree, an ACE/ACL abuse table, ADCS ESC1-8 certipy commands, and a 20-item misconfig checklist. Loads when the user asks for AD attack paths, Kerberoasting/AS-REP queries, or domain privilege-escalation cheatsheets during a pentest.

- What is the AD Attacks Reference SkillProof Score?
- 8.0/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install AD Attacks Reference?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use AD Attacks Reference with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
