Guides authorized Active Directory security research covering Kerberos attacks, AD CS vulnerabilities, BloodHound path analysis, NTLM relay, and domain privilege escalation techniques.

Executes authorized attack simulations against Active Directory environments to identify misconfigurations, weak credentials, dangerous privilege paths, and exploitable trust relationships that could lead to domain compromise.

Exploit Kerberos Constrained Delegation misconfigurations in Active Directory to impersonate privileged users via S4U2self and S4U2proxy extensions for lateral movement and privilege escalation.

Hardens Windows Active Directory environments against ransomware by configuring Group Policy Objects with AppLocker rules, Controlled Folder Access, Attack Surface Reduction rules, and lateral movement restrictions.

Enumerate Active Directory service accounts, request Kerberos TGS tickets, and crack them offline to assess password strength and privilege escalation paths.

Detect data staging activity before exfiltration by monitoring for archive creation with 7-Zip/RAR, unusual temp folder access, large file consolidation, and staging directory patterns via EDR and process telemetry.

Active Directory and network lateral movement assessment. Pass-the-hash, pass-the-ticket, Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, NTLM relay, SMB relay, WMI/WinRM/PSRemoting abuse, constrained/unconstrained delegation, RBCD, cross-trust exploitation, and pivoting. Uses impacket, netexec, enum4linux-ng, smbmap, smbclient, bloodhound-python, Responder, ntlmrelayx, mitm6, and ldap-utils. Chains from /post-exploit or /credential-audit.

Exploit Active Directory environments using Pass-the-Hash (PtH). This skill details how to authenticate to remote systems using the NTLM hash of a user's password instead of the plaintext password, enabling lateral movement and privilege escalation without cracking hashes.

OS command injection occurs when user input is passed unsanitized to a system shell via dangerous APIs: Java `Runtime.exec()`, Python `os.system/subprocess`, PHP `system/shell_exec/exec/proc_open`, C `system/exec`. Detect via pipe `|`, semicolon `;`, `&&`, `||`, backtick, `$()` operators, and time-delay payloads (`sleep 5`). Tools: Commix, Burp Suite, OWASP WebGoat.

Audit installed SKILL.md files and companion scripts for shell injection, secret exfiltration, path traversal, prompt-override payloads, destructive commands, and obfuscation. Integrates with Bankr Safety Scores and produces delta reports against prior scans.

Deep web exploitation beyond initial scanning. Covers SQLi (blind, OOB, second-order), NoSQL injection (MongoDB, operator bypass), GraphQL injection (introspection, batching, mutation abuse), XSS (reflected/stored/DOM with full source-sink analysis), SSTI (Jinja2/Twig/Freemarker/ERB engine identification and RCE), SSRF chains, file upload bypass (polyglot creation), XXE (blind, DOCX/SVG injection, Content-Type switching), deserialization (Java/PHP/Python/.NET), command injection, path traversal (LFI wrapper bypasses), race conditions, CSRF, JWT attacks (none/key confusion/kid injection), HTTP request smuggling (CL.TE/TE.CL/H2), CRLF injection, open redirect bypass chains, CORS exploitation, web cache deception/poisoning, OAuth misconfiguration, prototype pollution, session management, and business logic flaws. Uses sqlmap (advanced modes), commix, xsser, wapiti, davtest, and manual http(action="request", ...) payloads. Every technique includes actual payloads, commands, and code snippets for immediate use. Ch

Prevents destructive operations when working on production systems or running agents autonomously by intercepting risky commands and restricting file edits to a specified directory.

Executes containment strategies to stop active adversary operations and prevent lateral movement during a confirmed security breach, using network segmentation, endpoint isolation, credential revocation, and access control modifications.
