(SCTP Module) Active Directory Penetration Testing
About This Course
The AD Penetration Testing module provides a comprehensive exploration of vulnerabilities in network infrastructure and domain environments, focusing on both Active Directory security and broader network threats. Key focus areas include advanced scanning techniques, enumeration processes, and exploitation tactics targeting network devices, protocols, and services. The program also delves into Active Directory setup, domain protocol analysis, and the detection of domain-specific threats such as Kerberos attacks and LDAP exploitation. Learners will develop a thorough understanding of prevalent attack methods and implement robust defensive measures to secure their networks and domains against emerging threats.
What You'll Learn
1. Explain the structure and function of Active Directory, including domains, forests, trusts, and Group Policy Objects.
2. Enumerate AD components such as users, computers, and group memberships.
3. Identify and exploit common AD vulnerabilities and privilege escalation paths.
4. Execute lateral movement and post-exploitation techniques within a simulated AD environment.
5. Use offensive security tools to perform attacks and gather sensitive information in a simulated environment.
6. Document findings from AD penetration tests with professional reporting.
