Windows AD and Google Workspace Password Audit
Greetings. I would like to get recommendations for tools that will allow me to audit the password strength of users in Windows Active Directory and Google Workspace. I came across this one for AD that I plan to try. https://github.com/MichaelGrafnetter/DSInternals/blob/master/Documentation/PowerShell/Test-PasswordQuality.md

Customer ransomwared, and in bad place. Active Directory the priority.
As you have no AD specific backup or recovery plan nor do you have an idea of when ransomware was copied into the environment I.e. how long was it sitting dormant? I’d suggest you take the backup you have then use this script from DSInternals - https://github.com/MichaelGrafnetter/DSInternals/blob/master/Documentation/PowerShell/New-ADDBRestoreFromMediaScript.md - to restore ONLY Active Directory (NTDS + SYSVOl) into clean media (needs to be the same major OS version).

Finding Weak Passwords in AD
To find out, you can use the DSInternals command Test-PasswordQuality. It will extract the password hashes for all your user accounts and compare them against the password hashes for a dictionary of weak passwords.

Creating a jump host in 2023
If you're planning to use Active Directory and/or Azure AD, run ADRecon/AzureADRecon and Bloodhound frequently and review in depth. Run ScoutSuite frequently and review as part of a normal operational cycle (e.g., at weekly team meetings make the results available and set aside 15 minutes to discuss and make assignments). Look critically at where these three tools overlap within two or three degrees of separation from your jump hosts (e.g., hosts/nodes that are one or two devices away and users/security groups that are one or two devices away) for help prioritizing when you have too many high-risk/high-impact items to look through.

Free range internal pen testing
You can run ADRecon to create an Excel report with all AD objects like users, groups, computers etc. Very useful to get an overview of you AD. Especially inspect the Excel tab "users" and go through the columns "info" and "description". Many companies store cleartext credentials or initial passwords in these fields. Those fields can be read by any authenticated AD user and is not a great place to put sensitive data
