## Why ad_password_spray is rated High

Password spraying is an active offensive attack technique that attempts to authenticate to Active Directory accounts using a small set of common passwords to avoid lockout. Even with an empty description, the tool name and server context make the purpose unambiguous. It executes authentication attempts against external AD systems, which can compromise accounts and trigger security alerts.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ad_password_spray' on a Kali Linux penetration testing MCP server with sibling tools including ad_secretsdump, ad_psexec, ad_kerberoast, and ad_asreproast"

## Use case

AI agents invoke ad_password_spray to trigger actions in Zebbern Kali MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
