Module 6 · Active Directory Certificate Services Attacks

Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) is how Windows issues certificates — for user authentication, computer authentication, web services, VPN, code signing. It’s also, since SpecterOps’s 2021 “Certified Pre-Owned” research, one of the fastest paths from user to Domain Admin. This module covers the attack classes (ESC1-ESC8+) and defences. ADCS primer Certification Authority (CA) — issues […]

Client sends NTLM_NEGOTIATE; […]

Module 3 · BloodHound for Attack Paths

Individual AD misconfigurations look innocuous on their own. A group with a few extra members. A computer with delegation enabled. A user with GenericWrite on a colleague’s account. In isolation, each is a “maybe low risk.” When graph-analysed together, they form attack paths — concrete, stepwise routes from any foothold to Domain Admin. BloodHound is […]

Module 2 · Kerberoasting in Practice

Kerberoasting is the single most common Active Directory attack encountered on pen-test engagements. It’s low-noise, low-skill, highly reliable, and when it succeeds, the attacker holds privileged service account credentials — often Domain Admin. Understanding it is essential for both the offence and defence sides. This is a hands-on module. You will see the exact attacker […]
