Active Directory Attacks

Active Directory enumeration identifies domain resources and attack vectors using tools like PowerView and BloodHound to map complex trust relationships and target vulnerable domain configurations.

Kerberos attacks exploit authentication protocol vulnerabilities to achieve domain domination, utilizing tools like Rubeus and Mimikatz to manipulate tickets for privilege escalation and persistent access.

Impacket and CrackMapExec facilitate lateral movement in Windows domains by executing remote commands and harvesting credentials across network resources to test domain security boundaries.

Credential harvesting in Windows domains requires Python tools like Impacket to extract and crack hashes, enabling subsequent lateral movement and privilege escalation during red team operations.

Privilege escalation within Active Directory involves exploiting Kerberos vulnerabilities and misconfigured domain permissions using Mimikatz and BloodHound to identify and execute escalation paths.

Responder is limited to local network segments for poisoning name resolution protocols, requiring direct network adjacency to intercept traffic and cannot traverse routed network segments.
