Active Directory Penetration Testing Using Impacket
π₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
β΄οΈ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles
Impacket is a powerful toolkit used to perform enumeration, exploitation, and post-exploitation in Active Directory environments.
β‘οΈ Attack Highlights
π Enumerate users, SIDs & computers (lookupsid, GetADUsers)
π― Perform Kerberos attacks (AS-REP Roasting, Kerberoasting)
π Abuse delegation (RBCD) for privilege escalation
π Dump credentials (DCSync, LAPS, GMSA)
π Execute remote commands (psexec, wmiexec)
π Achieve Domain Admin access
π‘ Impacket enables attackers to simulate real-world AD attacks like credential dumping, lateral movement, and privilege escalation without deploying agents.
