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 tool is designed for advanced threat hunting and digital forensics. It analyzes Windows Event Logs (specifically Script Block Logging 4104 and Module Logging 4103) to detect artifacts left by the PowerShell Empire post-exploitation framework. Detection patterns include default launchers, Base64 payloads (WebClient, FromBase64String), known module invocations (e.g., Invoke-Mimikatz), and staging URL patterns, helping confirm C2 activity and lateral movement.

A comprehensive guide and workflow for detecting Mimikatz and similar credential-dumping activities. It utilizes command-line pattern matching, LSASS memory access signatures, binary indicators, and in-memory analysis. Ideal for threat hunting, scoping compromises during incident response, or validating detection coverage in purple team exercises using EDR/SIEM data.

A comprehensive skill for detecting early-stage ransomware indicators before data encryption occurs. It utilizes advanced network detection tools such as Zeek and Suricata, combined with SIEM correlation rules and threat intelligence feeds. This method monitors the entire pre-encryption kill chain, identifying precursor behaviors like initial access broker activity, Cobalt Strike C2 beaconing, credential harvesting (e.g., Mimikatz signatures), and data staging attempts, enabling timely incident response and containment.

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.

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 skill provides advanced detection methods for credential dumping, covering LSASS memory access, SAM hive extraction, and NTDS.dit theft (e.g., using Mimikatz). It utilizes Sysmon Event ID 10 and Windows Security logs to enable threat hunting, assisting SOC analysts in triaging EDR alerts and building robust SIEM correlation rules.
