For an ADCS ESC1 escalation, recall got the concept right but was fuzzy on exact syntax; the doc gave exact certipy command lines and a full misconfig table, though one of its own source links no longer resolves.
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 9/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Offensive Active Directory does
A condensed offensive methodology for internal Active Directory penetration tests: BloodHound/PowerView recon, credential harvesting (Kerberoasting, ASREProast, NTLM relay, LLMNR poisoning), ACL and delegation abuse, ADCS ESC1-ESC15 exploitation, lateral movement, persistence, and MDI/Defender for Identity evasion. Triggers when a user is doing an authorized on-prem or hybrid AD/Entra red-team assessment and needs attack-path commands, not defensive hardening guidance.

- What is the Offensive Active Directory SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Offensive Active Directory?
- 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 Offensive Active Directory 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.
