What it does

Sccm Recon is an agent skill from SpecterOps/skills. Perform SCCM reconnaissance and takeover prerequisite validation, including site-role mapping, provider and AdminService checks, site database separation checks, and relay-path prechecks.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Security. The repository describes itself as: A marketplace for LLM skills. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Security work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/sccm-recon”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the target or target range is in scope.
  2. Prefer known SCCM hosts first before expanding outward.
  3. If using pivots or C2 egress paths, note the transport and path assumptions in evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e655f93. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • apt-get
    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Sccm Recon loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 829 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:86
    sudo apt-get update
  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:87
    sudo apt-get install -y nmap curl netcat-openbsd smbclient rpcbind

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SCCM Recon

Use this skill to identify SCCM infrastructure and validate the prerequisites needed for follow-on SCCM operations such as site takeover, provider abuse, or controlled client-execution validation.

This skill is the preferred precursor to $sccm-takeover-relay.

Direct Triggers

Use this skill when the task mentions any of the following:

  • SCCM recon
  • ConfigMgr recon
  • find the site server
  • find the SMS Provider
  • find the site database
  • validate SCCM takeover prerequisites
  • AdminService check
  • SCCM site role mapping

Input Contract

Accept input as: TARGET [MODE] [NOISE]

Mode:

  • plan: produce the recon plan and command set only
  • execute (default): run bounded checks and capture evidence

Noise:

  • low (default): focused validation against known or likely SCCM assets
  • medium: broader SCCM role discovery and enrichment
  • high: aggressive probing, approval required

Examples:

  • $sccm-recon 192.0.2.20 execute low
  • $sccm-recon corp.local plan
  • $sccm-recon smsprov01.corp.local execute medium

Objectives

  1. Identify likely SCCM assets and roles:
  • site server
  • SMS Provider
  • site database host
  • management point
  • distribution point
  1. Identify SCCM-specific services and interfaces where feasible:
  • mssms-related SQL context
  • SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER and related role hints
  • AdminService
  • provider/WMI access points
  1. Validate takeover prerequisites for follow-on operations:
  • site database is separate from the coercion target
  • likely relay path to MSSQL exists
  • candidate site-system hosts are high-value coercion targets
  • EPA/NTLM conditions need further verification

Preconditions

  1. Confirm the target or target range is in scope.
  2. Prefer known SCCM hosts first before expanding outward.
  3. If using pivots or C2 egress paths, note the transport and path assumptions in evidence.

Tooling Setup

Before execution, confirm where the skill will run and whether the following tools are available on that host.

Preferred Linux tooling:

  • nmap
  • curl
  • rpcclient
  • smbclient
  • nc

Typical Kali/Debian install commands:

bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nmap curl netcat-openbsd smbclient rpcbind

Notes:

  • rpcclient and smbclient are typically provided by the Samba client packages on Debian/Kali systems.
  • If rpcclient is not present after install, verify with:
bash
which rpcclient
which smbclient

If this recon must run through a pivot or team server, record:

  • host running the commands
  • pivot method, if any
  • whether $proxychains-tunnel should wrap the commands

Do not begin execution until the operator path for running the recon is clear.

Execution Workflow

  1. Build the host set.
  • start with operator-provided hostnames/IPs
  • enrich with DNS and naming clues when available, for example:
    • sccm
    • cm
    • mecm
    • sms
    • mp
    • dp
    • cas
  1. Run low-noise service checks.
  • confirm core Windows service exposure and likely SCCM surfaces:
    • SMB 445
    • RPC 135
    • WinRM 5985/5986
    • MSSQL 1433
    • HTTP/HTTPS 80/443
  • check for AdminService paths when web services are present
  1. Identify likely roles.
  • infer role from service exposure, hostname conventions, and accessible web/API surfaces
  • distinguish confirmed role evidence from naming-based hypotheses
  1. Validate site database separation and relay path assumptions.
  • check whether the candidate site DB host differs from the candidate coercion target
  • check whether MSSQL is reachable on the site DB host
  • record any evidence that the SMS Provider is on a separate host
  1. Gather takeover-specific prereqs for handoff.
  • likely coercion targets
  • likely MSSQL relay targets
  • likely SMS Provider verification target
  • reachable ports relevant to takeover
  • blockers such as closed 1433, no reachable provider, or collapsed single-host architecture
  1. Produce a normalized handoff for $sccm-takeover-relay.

  2. Troubleshoot relay-path assumptions when needed.

  • if a required relay port appears blocked, compare it against a temporary listener on another known-allowed port
  • if the alternate port is reachable but the required port is refused, treat that as evidence of a port-specific environment restriction
  • record the test commands and outcomes for both ports

Command Patterns

Focused port validation
bash
nmap -Pn -p 80,135,139,443,445,1433,5985,5986 <TARGET>
HTTP header and AdminService probing
bash
curl -isk https://<TARGET>/AdminService/wmi/
curl -isk https://<TARGET>/ccm_system/request
SMB and host-role context
bash
rpcclient -N -U "" <TARGET>
smbclient -L //<TARGET> -N
SQL reachability
bash
nc -zv <TARGET> 1433

Use $ssh-ops or $proxychains-tunnel when these checks should run through operator-controlled remote or tunneled command execution.

If the operator provides external MCP tooling, verify the relevant MCP tools are available before relying on them.

OPSEC Gate

Require explicit operator confirmation before:

  • subnet-wide SCCM hunting across many hosts
  • aggressive web/content discovery
  • intrusive RPC/SMB enumeration beyond bounded checks
  • any brute force, spraying, or exploit execution

Before requesting approval, include:

  • exact action
  • objective
  • expected impact
  • assumptions/prerequisites
  • telemetry and detection surfaces
  • expected noise level

Output Requirements

For each run, include:

  • target(s) tested
  • exact commands and outputs
  • candidate SCCM roles per host with confidence labels:
    • confirmed
    • likely
    • unknown
  • takeover-prereq assessment:
    • candidate coercion target
    • candidate site DB target
    • candidate SMS Provider target
    • relevant port reachability
    • blockers and unknowns
  • timestamps in UTC ISO 8601
  • recommended next step

Handoff To sccm-takeover-relay

When used as a precursor, provide:

  • coercion_target
  • site_db_target
  • sms_provider_target
  • relay_path_notes
  • candidate_site_code
  • confidence
  • blocked_by if prerequisites are incomplete

Port Troubleshooting Guidance

When validating relay-host reachability through SOCKS, pivots, or C2 transport:

  1. test the intended port first
  2. if it fails, stand up a temporary listener on a different port on the same relay host
  3. test the same path to that alternate port
  4. interpret results:
  • alternate port succeeds, intended port fails:
    • likely port-specific outbound or environment restriction
  • both fail:
    • broader path, routing, firewall, or listener issue
  • both succeed:
    • relay-path connectivity is not the blocker

Reporting Notes

Prefer high-signal evidence over broad host counts. If role certainty is weak, say so and recommend the narrowest next validation step.
