ad-enumeration-playbook SKILL.md skillA

ad-enumeration-playbook from dreadnode/capabilities is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/ad-enumeration-playbook@git:20260712.f8f9945

Pins git:20260712.f8f9945 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Decision tree for Active Directory enumeration. Maps enumeration tasks to tools, defines priority signals, and specifies what findings trigger deeper investigation. Use during the enumeration phase of network operations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AD Enumeration Playbook

Systematic enumeration produces the attack surface map that drives exploitation. Follow this decision tree to maximize coverage with minimum noise.

## Enumeration Priority Order

Execute in this order. Each phase feeds the next — skip nothing.

### Phase 1: Domain Context (first 2-3 steps)

Establish the AD landscape before enumerating objects.

| Task | Tool | Command Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Identify domain controllers | netexec SMB scan + identify DCs | `netexec_smb` across target range |
| Domain/forest trust relationships | netexec LDAP `--trusted-for-delegation` or SharpView `get_domain_trust` | Trust direction determines lateral movement feasibility |
| Password policy | netexec SMB `--pass-pol` | **Must retrieve before any credential spraying** |
| Domain functional level | netexec LDAP or SharpView `get_domain` | Determines available attack techniques |

### Phase 2: User and Group Enumeration

| Task | Tool | Priority Signal |
|---|---|---|
| All domain users | netexec LDAP `--users` or SharpView `get_domain_user` | High-privilege groups, service accounts, descriptions with passwords |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/ad-enumeration-playbook@sha256:6378739419aa70e5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.f8f9945, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
