ADscan Documentation
Active Directory exposure management — from assessment to client deliverable in one command.
ADscan
Active Directory exposure management for pentesters, MSSPs, and CISOs.
One command runs the assessment. On an engagement workspace it writes the client report by itself. No tool-hopping.
Current version: 10.1.0 LITE
Three tiers
| Tier | What it is | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| LITE | Free CLI engine — community-maintained scan core | Pentesters, red teamers, students |
| PRO | LITE plus the Client Deliverable Kit — three PDFs, the ATT&CK Navigator bundle, and a ZIP | MSSPs, consultancies billing engagements |
| Enterprise | Continuous CTEM/BAS web service with weekly digest | CISOs operating their own AD posture |
Three paths to start
I'm a pentester running an engagement
LITE quickstart — install, scan, attack-paths in under 10 minutes.
I'm an MSSP delivering audit reports
PRO setup — generate the Client Deliverable Kit in 90 seconds.
I'm a CISO evaluating ADscan
Architecture, deployment model, and what the kit looks like.
What ADscan does
- Active Directory enumeration — DNS, LDAP, SMB, Kerberos, ADCS, trust spidering, native graph collection.
- Attack execution — Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, ACL abuse, GPP, GPO abuse, constrained-delegation SPN-jacking (SPNJack), DCSync, ADCS ESC1-16.
- A report you did not ask for — on an
auditworkspace, ADscan writes a client-ready exposure report (HTML and PDF) the moment the scan finishes. Free tier, no command. It carries the posture score, the findings, the validated attack paths with each step's honest status, the choke-point ranking, and a disclosure of every change ADscan made to the directory. - Client Deliverable Kit (PRO) — Security Assessment Report, AD Hardening Playbook, AD Control Coverage Report, plus the interactive MITRE ATT&CK Navigator bundle, generated in about 90 seconds with
adscan deliver.
