Offline credential and file recovery with hashcat and john. Use when any skill captures hashes (NTLM, Kerberos TGS/AS-REP, shadow, MSCACHE2) or encrypted files (ZIP, Office, PDF, KeePass, SSH key, 7z, RAR). Trigger phrases: "recover this hash", "offline recovery", "john", "hashcat", "zip2john", "password-protected file". Do NOT use for online password attacks (spraying, brute force against services) — use password-spraying instead.

Exploit writable critical files, NFS misconfigurations, shared library hijacking, and privileged group membership (docker, lxd, disk, adm, video, staff) for Linux privilege escalation. Use when a user belongs to a privileged group or has write access to sensitive files or paths.

Covers share listing, per-share access testing, MANSPIDER content search, and SMB vulnerability detection (signing, EternalBlue). Use after network-recon identifies SMB ports (139/445).

Performs password spraying against authentication services with lockout-safe techniques. Works against AD (SMB/Kerberos/LDAP), SSH, web login forms, OWA, and any service with username/password auth. Service-agnostic — the orchestrator passes target services and spray intensity tier.

Network reconnaissance, host discovery, port scanning, and OS fingerprinting. Produces a port/service map that the orchestrator uses to route to service-specific enumeration skills.

XMPP/Jabber service enumeration for Openfire, ejabberd, Prosody, and other XMPP servers. Trigger when ports 5222 (client), 5223 (legacy TLS), or 5269 (server-to-server) are found open. Covers authentication testing, user enumeration, MUC room discovery, and server fingerprinting. Do NOT use for AD enumeration or credential spraying — route those to the appropriate skills.

Exploit Windows token privileges for local privilege escalation to SYSTEM.

Security-focused source code review. Identifies hardcoded credentials, injection sinks, authentication weaknesses, and framework-specific vulnerabilities. Use when application source code is available for review.

Extracts credentials from Active Directory: DCSync replication, NTDS.dit database extraction, SAM hive dump, Azure AD Connect (ADSync) credential extraction, LAPS passwords (legacy + Windows LAPS), gMSA passwords (KDS root key + GoldenGMSA), dMSA exploitation (BadSuccessor CVE-2025-21293), DSRM credentials, and EFS-encrypted file decryption.

Deploy webshells to IIS, Apache, or Tomcat web roots via SMB share write access. Use when a domain user has write access to a file share that maps to a web server's document root — write a webshell via smbclient/net use, then trigger it via HTTP for RCE. Covers PHP, ASPX, and JSP webshells, .NET impersonation for same-host lateral movement, and internal site discovery.

Discover web application injection points and route to the correct exploitation skill during authorized penetration testing.
