Exploit Active Directory environments using Pass-the-Hash (PtH). This skill details how to authenticate to remote systems using the NTLM hash of a user's password instead of the plaintext password, enabling lateral movement and privilege escalation without cracking hashes.

Runs full Trailmark structural analysis by building a graph and computing pre-analysis passes for hotspots, taint, blast radius, privilege boundaries, and attack surface.

Extract Kerberos tickets from LSASS memory, inject them into an attacker session, and perform lateral movement to access remote systems as the impersonated user.

Hunt for Pass-the-Hash attacks by analyzing NTLM authentication patterns, identifying Type 3 logons where Kerberos is expected, and correlating with credential dumping indicators.

Detect abuse of elevation control mechanisms including UAC bypass, sudo exploitation, and setuid/setgid manipulation by monitoring registry modifications, process elevation flags, and unusual parent-child process relationships.

Take over Active Directory user and computer accounts by writing alternate certificate keys to msDS-KeyCredentialLink (Shadow Credentials) with pyWhisker, Whisker, and Certipy, then authenticate via PKINIT.

Simulates man-in-the-middle attacks using Ettercap, mitmproxy, and Bettercap in authorized environments to intercept, analyze, and modify network traffic for testing encryption enforcement, certificate validation, and detection capabilities.

Detect DCOM-based lateral movement by correlating Sysmon process creation and network connection events, WMI event analysis, and RPC endpoint mapper traffic to identify abuse of MMC20.Application, ShellBrowserWindow, and ShellWindows COM objects.

Use to measure customer effort from behavioural signals instead of CES surveys, and to audit whether a composite effort score is honest. Trigger for "customer effort score", "behavioural CES", effort without survey, repeat contacts and channel switches, transfers and reopens, or "our CES doesn't match operational data".

Active Directory and network lateral movement assessment. Pass-the-hash, pass-the-ticket, Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, NTLM relay, SMB relay, WMI/WinRM/PSRemoting abuse, constrained/unconstrained delegation, RBCD, cross-trust exploitation, and pivoting. Uses impacket, netexec, enum4linux-ng, smbmap, smbclient, bloodhound-python, Responder, ntlmrelayx, mitm6, and ldap-utils. Chains from /post-exploit or /credential-audit.
