This skill analyzes Active Directory (AD) Access Control Lists (ACLs) to detect dangerous misconfigurations. It uses the ldap3 Python library to query domain controllers, parse security descriptors (SDDL), and identify instances where non-privileged users or groups are granted dangerous permissions like GenericAll, WriteDACL, or WriteOwner on sensitive objects. Essential for security incident response and privilege escalation path discovery.

Implements Microsoft's Enhanced Security Admin Environment (ESAE) tiered administration model for Active Directory. This skill guides the hardening of AD privileged access architecture by establishing strict separation between Tier 0, Tier 1, and Tier 2 accounts. It is essential for mitigating advanced threats like pass-the-hash, Kerberoasting, and ensuring compliance with industry standards (NIST 800-53).

This guide details the implementation of Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM), enforcing Just-in-Time (JIT) role activation, mandatory approval workflows, and periodic access reviews for critical Azure AD and resource roles. It aligns with Zero Trust principles by eliminating standing privileges.

Configure Azure AD Privileged Identity Management via Microsoft Graph API to enumerate eligible and active assignments, request just-in-time activations, audit logs, and enforce MFA or approval policies for zero-trust privileged access scenarios.
