Imagine a cyberattack that doesn’t rely on brute force or zero-day exploits, instead silently slipping past your defenses and targeting the very heart of your network security: user credentials. This is the reality of Mimikatz, a post-exploitation tool that has become a favorite weapon among cybercriminals. What Is Mimikatz? It’s
NT LAN Manager (NTLM) relay attacks represent a persistent threat to organizations that rely on Active Directory (AD) for identity management and access control. These attacks exploit weaknesses in the NTLM authentication protocol, allowing attackers to impersonate legitimate users and gain unauthorized access to sensitive resources within the AD environment.
DCSync attacks remain a persistent threat to Active Directory (AD) security. These attacks cleverly exploit normal AD replication processes, allowing hackers to secretly extract sensitive password hashes. This access can pave the way for widespread exploits across your network. Given the prevalence of DCSync attacks, IT professionals must be equipped
