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.

How to install AD Attacks Reference

git clone https://github.com/mukul975/Threatswarm
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cd Threatswarm && cp -r threatswarm-plugin/skills/ad-attacks ~/.claude/skills/ad-attacks

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger AD Attacks Reference

  • /ad-attacks Active Directory attack reference: BloodHound, Kerberos, ACL abuse, ADCS ESC1-8

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Give me the Cypher query for AS-REP roastable users to a DA path
  • What's the certipy sequence for an ADCS ESC1 escalation?
  • Walk me through Kerberoasting this domain during the pentest
