Name of Training:

Active Directory Attacks for Red and Blue Teams - Advanced Edition

Description:

This training is aimed towards attacking modern AD using built-in tools, scripting and other trusted OS resources.

Training description:

More than 95% of Fortune 500 companies use Active Directory! Enterprises are managed using Active Directory (AD) and it often forms the backbone of the complete network. To secure AD, you must understand different techniques and attacks used by adversaries against it. Often burdened with maintaining interoperability with a variety of products, AD lack ability to tackle latest threats.
This training is aimed towards attacking modern AD using built-in tools, scripting and other trusted OS resources. Some of the techniques, used in the course:
-  Extensive AD Enumeration
-  Trust mapping and abuse
-  Privilege Escalation 
-  Advanced Kerberos Attacks
-  Advanced cross forest trust abuse
-  Attacking Azure AD integration
-  Abusing trusts for MS products
-  Credentials Replay Attacks 
-  Persistence 
-  Defenses 
-  Bypassing defenses 

You start from a user desktop and work your way up to multiple forest pwnage. 
Attendees will get free one month access to an AD environment comprising of multiple domains and forests.

This course is very useful in securing the backbone of any Enterprise Environment. We have been teaching this course at BlackHat for many years now and the feedback has always been very good. The students have always enjoyed the course and the lab. We provide multiple ways of solving the lab that helps the students to utilize the lab to fullest!

Takeaways for the students after completing the class:
- The course has been very popular with students at BlackHat who are responsible for securing an Enterprise. We constantly work on feedback on what to improve in the course and keep it updated to address latest threats in Active Directory. This enable students to address real threats in their environments and therefore help them with their daily job!

- Students get to practice in an environment that is fully patched, contains modern Windows machines, the latest Forest functional level and is pretty big. In addition, the course focuses only on abuse of functionality. This means whatever the students practice in the lab will be useful for many years. 

- Students get to know how threat actors move in a modern environment and therefore can develop detections to track attackers.

Technical difficulty:

Intermediate/Advanced.

A basic knowledge of Active Directory security and ability to use command line tools.
