⚡ Active Directory Penetration Testing with Impacket Ethical Guide 🛡️

Active Directory (AD) powers most enterprise infrastructures, making it a high-value target for attackers.

With tools like Impacket, ethical hackers and security professionals can safely simulate attacks in lab environments to identify weaknesses and build stronger defenses

💡 What You’ll Explore:

1️⃣ AD Basics – Domains, trusts, users, and groups 🏢
2️⃣ Why Impacket? – Python-powered tools for network protocol testing 🐍
3️⃣ Realistic Attack Scenarios – Pass-the-Hash, Kerberos abuse, enumeration (lab-only) 🔍

4️⃣ Defensive Insights – How defenders can detect, monitor, and respond 🛡️
5️⃣ Ethical Best Practices – Safe testing, clear documentation, actionable remediation ✅

🌟 Why It Matters:

Misconfigured AD environments are one of the most common entry points for attackers. By simulating adversary techniques with Impacket (safely, in authorized labs), organizations can uncover vulnerabilities before real-world threats exploit them.
