When an AD DS is installed on a Windows Server, it usually becomes a domain controller. For example, AD DS stores information about user accounts, such as names, passwords, phone numbers, and so on, and enables other authorized users on the same network to access this information. A directory service, such as Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), provides the methods for storing directory data and making this data available to network users and administrators. What is Active Directory, or Active Directory Directory Services?Ī directory is a hierarchical structure that stores information about objects on the network. To start off, I’ll give you an intro to Active Directory since this box is somehow heavy in Active Directory attacks, so it pays if you are familiar with the concept of AD and a DC. Along the way, I will try to explain in the shortest and efficient way concepts that are required for you to understand what is happening. The user then belongs to a group that allows him to add a user to the “Windows Exchange Permissions”, where the group is allowed to perform a DCSync attack to get Administrator hashes. It starts with enumerating a user through RPC and exploiting Kerberos Pre-Auth to get the user’s password. It exposes you to different tools and offers practical usage of enumerating, interacting, and exploiting services usually related to Windows Active Directory. Forest is in the list of my favorite machines.
