Enterprises are managed using Active Directory (AD) and it often forms the backbone of the complete enterprise network. Therefore, to secure an enterprise from an adversary, it is inevitable to secure its AD environment. To secure AD, you must understand different techniques and attacks used by adversaries against it. Often burdened with maintaining backward compatibility and interoperability with a variety of products, AD environments lack ability to tackle latest threats.
This training is aimed towards attacking modern AD Environment using built-in tools like PowerShell and other trusted OS resources. The training is based on real world penetration tests and Red Team engagements for highly secured environments. Some of the techniques (see the course content for details), used in the course:
- Extensive AD Enumeration
- Active Directory trust mapping and abuse.
- Privilege Escalation (User Hunting, Delegation issues and more)
- Kerberos Attacks and Defense (Golden, Silver ticket, Kerberoast and more)
- Abusing cross forest trust (Lateral movement across forest, PrivEsc and more)
- Abusing SQL Server trust in AD (Command Execution, trust abuse, lateral movement)
- Credentials Replay Attacks (Over-PTH, Token Replay etc.)
- Persistence (DCShadow, WMI, GPO, ACLs and more)
- Defenses (JEA, PAW, LAPS, Deception, App Whitelisting, Advanced Threat Analytics etc.)
- Bypassing defenses
The course is a mixture of fun, demos, exercises, hands-on and lecture. You start from compromise of a user desktop and work your way up to multiple forest pwnage. The training focuses more on methodology and techniques than tools.
Attendees will get free one month access to an Active Directory environment comprising of multiple domains and forests, during and after the training. This training aims to change how you test an Active Directory Environment.
