active-directory-attacks

To simulate Active Directory attacks like Kerberoasting and DCSync, you must provide authorized domain credentials and access to a scoped test AD environment. The skill guides you through simulating these attack scenarios using recommended tooling like Impacket and Mimikatz.

Performing Active Directory reconnaissance for privilege escalation is best achieved using BloodHound and PowerView. This skill provides guidance on mapping attack paths and identifying lateral movement workflows within your scoped infrastructure.

Yes, you can use Impacket and Mimikatz for credential harvesting and lateral movement in AD. This skill specifically covers reproducing these attack scenarios in controlled settings, requiring explicit authorization and documenting findings to ensure safe, reversible actions.

Golden Ticket and NTLM relay attacks work in red-team engagements by exploiting Kerberos and authentication protocols to achieve persistence and lateral movement. This skill helps reproduce these scenarios to evaluate defenses and validate compensating controls.

Yes, you need explicit authorization or access to a test AD environment to test Active Directory security with attack simulations. This skill requires scoped AD infrastructures and emphasizes documenting findings while ensuring safe, reversible actions during red-team engagements.

The limitations of simulating AD attacks in a production environment include the risk of irreversible damage and unauthorized access. This skill requires a scoped test AD infrastructure, explicit authorization, and strict adherence to safe, reversible actions to prevent unintended consequences.
