A comprehensive guide detailing advanced techniques for attacking Microsoft Active Directory (AD) environments. It covers the entire red team lifecycle, including reconnaissance (BloodHound, PowerView), credential harvesting (Mimikatz, AS-REP Roasting), and critical attacks such as Kerberos exploitation, Pass-the-Ticket/Hash, and NTLM relay attacks. Essential for penetration testing and defensive validation.

This comprehensive guide provides a structured, multi-stage workflow for containing active security breaches. It details both short-term and long-term strategies, including network segmentation, endpoint isolation, credential revocation, and evidence preservation. Use this process during confirmed intrusions, ransomware attacks, or lateral movement events to effectively stop adversary activity and secure critical assets before eradication.

This skill provides comprehensive detection methods for credential dumping techniques, a critical post-exploitation phase in cyber attacks. It targets the extraction of sensitive credentials from LSASS memory, SAM registry hives, and NTDS.dit using advanced security visibility. Detection relies on analyzing Sysmon Event ID 10 (ProcessAccess), Windows Security logs, and complex SIEM correlation rules, making it essential for SOC analysts and threat hunters investigating advanced persistent threats (APTs).

A comprehensive guide for detecting Kerberoasting attacks by monitoring for anomalous Kerberos TGS requests (Event ID 4769). This technique targets service accounts with Service Principal Names (SPNs), which are requested offline by attackers to crack service account passwords. Use this during threat hunting or incident response to scope MITRE T1558 credential access activities in Active Directory environments.

A comprehensive guide and set of detection rules for identifying OS credential dumping techniques (MITRE T1003). It leverages EDR telemetry, Sysmon process access monitoring, and Windows security event correlation to detect attacks targeting LSASS memory, SAM databases, and NTDS.dit files. Essential for proactive threat hunting and incident response.

Executes authorized, advanced attack simulations against Active Directory environments to identify critical misconfigurations, weak credentials, and exploitable trust relationships. Utilizing industry tools like BloodHound, Mimikatz, and Impacket, this process simulates complex attacks such as Kerberoasting, Golden Ticket forging, and domain compromise path analysis, helping organizations validate their security posture against real-world threats.

This utility performs comprehensive forensic analysis on memory dumps. It leverages industry-standard tools like Volatility and Mimikatz to extract sensitive information, including cached credentials, NTLM/LM hashes, Kerberos tickets, and authentication tokens. It is crucial for incident response, assessing the scope of credential compromise, and investigating lateral movement attacks.

This guide details how to hunt for DCSync attacks (MITRE ATT&CK T1003.006) in Active Directory environments. It focuses on analyzing Windows Security Event ID 4662, specifically looking for DS-Replication-Get-Changes requests originating from non-domain-controller accounts. This technique is critical for incident response, purple teaming, and detecting unauthorized credential theft via Active Directory replication abuse.

This guide details the implementation of advanced, phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication using Microsoft Entra ID. It covers configuring FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business, and passkey support via Microsoft Authenticator. Use this skill to eliminate reliance on passwords, mitigate credential stuffing attacks, and satisfy strict regulatory mandates for modern identity access management.
