Methodology for red team testing of on-prem Active Directory, hybrid AD/Entra ID, and ADCS. Covers reconnaissance, credential abuse, privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, trust abuse, and Defender for Identity evasion.

A powerful offensive security toolkit for red-teaming and penetration testing. It systematically enumerates and exploits various misconfigurations within Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) using Certipy. This allows attackers to forge privileged certificates, perform PKINIT authentication, and achieve domain compromise and privilege escalation, even without knowing user passwords. Ideal for validating security hardening.

This skill details the advanced red-teaming technique of exploiting Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) via the ESC8 path. By abusing the HTTP web-enrollment endpoint and relaying coerced NTLM credentials, an attacker can compel a domain controller to request a machine certificate. This certificate is then used to compromise the domain via PKINIT and DCSync.
