Course Description

Active Directory (AD) is the backbone of most enterprise networks, making it a high-value target for attackers. This course dives deep into the inner workings of AD, focusing on modern attack vectors, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and persistence techniques. You’ll gain practical knowledge through detailed demonstrations and structured labs, helping you think like an attacker while learning to defend effectively.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore advanced enumeration, Kerberos exploitation, credential dumping, and domain privilege abuse. In addition, you’ll uncover how to detect and mitigate these attacks using robust defensive strategies. By the end, you’ll have a powerful understanding of both offensive and defensive operations in an AD environment—skills that are highly valued in cybersecurity and penetration testing roles.
