I've been pwning AD labs for months with a private toolkit I built. Worked every time.
Today I'm opening it: Claude-AD. The AD engagement playbook as Claude Code skills. Kerberos, ADCS ESC1-17, ACL abuse, coercion. Drives your standard tools.

CrowdStrike and SentinelOne flagged my ligolo tunnel every time.
So I stopped tunneling out. The Linux tools run inside the Windows box now, in a QEMU VM, no admin, a layer below the EDR.
nxc, certipy, ADscan. Nothing fires.

1/ Before I run a password spray, I ask Active Directory when each user last changed their password. It tells me. And that alone means far fewer misses and zero lockouts.
5/ No trick. The domain hands you the very data to attack it with, and almost nobody looks.
If your only defense here is forcing a monthly password change, think about it: that policy is exactly what's handing me the date to try. What stops this is MFA, not rotating every 30 days
7/ Check yours: grep for the string cpassword in SYSVOL. If it's in any XML, that password stopped being a secret years ago. Rotate the account and delete the file.
