Advanced Active Directory Attacks & Mitigations (AADA)

This is just a great workshop that teaches how to implement secure Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure. The course covers all modern attacks against core Windows identity solutionsthat everybody talks about and during the session you will learn how to prevent them! Our goal is to show you how to make yourAD infrastructures secure basedattacker’s possibilities.

This is a deep dive workshop on Active Directory services security, a must-go for administrators, security officers and architects. It is delivered by one of the best people in the market in the security field –with practical knowledge from tons of successful projects, many years of real-world experience, great teachingskills and no mercy for misconfigurations or insecure solutions. This workshop willpresent you the critical tasks performed by skilled attacker or pentester against Active Directory and its key components. Course focus on attacks and security of Windows identity solutions.

Exploits are not the only way to get to the systems! We will go through the operating systems’ built-in problems and explore how they can be beneficial for hackers! One of the most important things to conduct a successful attack is to understand how the targets work. To the bones! Afterwards everything is clear and the tool is just a matter of our need. The workshop covers all aspects of Active Directory identity security from the hacker’s mind perspective! Our goal is to show and teach you what kind of mechanisms are allowing to get inside the infrastructure and how to get into organization. You will gain penetration tester’s knowledge and tools.
