Active Directory Security with ALSID and Trustwave

My notes:

  • No agent, no privilege solution that proactively detect AD attacks (it is done through AD replication API).
  • Alsid is known as Tenable.AD now.
  • Attacks: authentication protocols, privilege control (SDProp and SPN), user trust, cross-company department, shared IT team, old-configuration, lack of monitoring, cannot disable the account.
  • 300+ misconfigurations in AD can be weaponised to compromise AD.
  • Kerberoast attacks (cannot be fixed).
  • Password stored in memory.
  • Prevention is always better than a cure.
  • Auditing privileged users.
  • Go after legacy: smbv1, NTLMv1, sensitive privileges.
  • Old config.
