πŸ”΅ Blue Teaming Active Directory: EvenMonitor

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles

Attackers target AD… defenders must monitor EVERYTHING ⚠️

⚑️ Defense Highlights
πŸ” Monitor AD events & suspicious logins
πŸ“Š Track user/group/permission changes
🚨 Detect privilege escalation & lateral movement
🧠 Identify abnormal behavior patterns
πŸ›‘ Improve visibility across domain

πŸ’‘ Active Directory monitoring = continuous tracking of accounts, permissions & activities to detect threats early ()

⚠️ Without proper monitoring β†’ attacks stay invisible until domain compromise

πŸ”΄ Password Spraying Attack: Silent Credential Killer

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles

Google Search Operators help pentesters and researchers perform advanced searches to find specific files, directories, login pages, and sensitive data indexed by search engines. These operators allow filtering results by domain, file type, URL patterns, or page content.

⚑️ Useful Google Search Operators

πŸ”Ž site:example.com
🌐 inurl:admin
πŸ“„ filetype:pdf
🧠 intitle:"index of"
πŸ“‘ intext:"password"
πŸ“‚ allinurl:login admin

AddSelf Active Directory Abuse

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles

The AddSelf permission in Active Directory allows a user to add themselves to a security group. If this permission is misconfigured on privileged groups like Domain Admins or Backup Operators, attackers can escalate privileges and gain administrative access.

⚑️ Key Concepts
πŸ‘€ AddSelf Permission Abuse – Users can add themselves to target groups
⬆️ Privilege Escalation – Gain privileges of groups like Domain Admins
🧠 BloodHound Discovery – Identify weak ACL permissions in AD
πŸ›  Account Manipulation – Add attacker-controlled accounts to privileged groups
πŸ” Post-Exploitation – Dump NTLM hashes using tools like Impacket

Once added to a privileged group, attackers can perform lateral movement, credential dumping, and potentially achieve full domain compromise.
