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 skill provides a comprehensive guide to establishing SAML 2.0 identity federation between on-premises Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). It covers the architecture, prerequisites, and practical steps (including PowerShell scripting) required to achieve seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) and centralized authentication authority for hybrid environments and third-party SaaS applications.

This comprehensive guide details the deployment and hardening of the Havoc C2 framework, a modern post-exploitation Command and Control system. Learn how to establish a production-grade infrastructure, including configuring Teamservers, setting up various listeners (HTTP/HTTPS/SMB), and integrating Nginx redirectors. It provides OPSEC-hardened techniques for authorized red team adversary emulation engagements.

This guide details the methodology for conducting internal network penetration tests, simulating an attacker operating from an assumed breach state. It covers initial network reconnaissance, Active Directory enumeration, advanced credential harvesting techniques (e.g., Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash), and lateral movement exploitation to determine the full blast radius of a potential breach. Essential for comprehensive security auditing.

This comprehensive guide details how to implement robust security hardening measures for LDAP directory services. It specifically addresses critical vulnerabilities like LDAP injection, anonymous binding, and channel binding bypass. Key features include mandatory LDAPS enforcement, granular access control list configuration, and integrating advanced monitoring to ensure the infrastructure meets high compliance standards (e.g., NIST 800-53). Essential for security architects and operations teams.

This guide details comprehensive detection methods for DCSync attacks (MITRE T1003.006) in Active Directory. Attackers abuse legitimate directory replication protocols to extract sensitive password hashes. Detection relies on auditing Windows Event ID 4662 for unauthorized access attempts to critical Directory Service GUIDs, specifically flagging non-domain-controller accounts attempting replication calls. Essential for threat hunting and incident response.

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.

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 guide details the exploitation of the Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) ESC1 vulnerability. By leveraging misconfigurations, an attacker can request certificates impersonating high-privileged users (e.g., Domain Admins). The workflow covers AD enumeration, forging certificates with arbitrary Subject Alternative Names (SANs), authenticating via PKINIT, and ultimately escalating domain privileges using tools like mimikatz. Essential for authorized red team and penetration testing.

Kerberoasting is a credential access attack (T1558.003) targeting Active Directory service accounts with Service Principal Names (SPNs). This skill demonstrates using Impacket to request Kerberos TGS tickets for these accounts. The resulting RC4 or AES-encrypted tickets are then cracked offline using tools like Hashcat or John the Ripper, allowing attackers to recover service account credentials for lateral movement during authorized penetration testing or red-team engagements.

This guide details the exploitation chain for noPac, combining CVE-2021-42278 (sAMAccountName spoofing) and CVE-2021-42287 (KDC PAC confusion). It demonstrates how an attacker can escalate from a standard domain user to Domain Admin by manipulating Active Directory tickets and performing DCSync. Primarily used in authorized red-teaming and penetration testing to validate domain security.

This guide details the exploitation of the critical Zerologon vulnerability (CVE-2020-1472) in Active Directory Domain Controllers. It demonstrates the methodology for resetting the DC machine account password to empty, achieving full domain compromise. Subsequent steps include dumping domain credentials using DCSync. Essential for authorized red-teaming and security validation.
