    4 projects | /r/Netwrix | 15 Feb 2023
    BloodHound is a web application that identifies and visualizes attack paths in Active Directory environments. It identifies the fastest series of steps from any AD account or machine to a desired target, such as membership in the Domain Admins group. Regularly checking your AD using BloodHound can be an effective defense mechanism that helps you ensure that compromising an account or machine doesn’t enable an attacker to compromise your domain.

  • Creating a jump host in 2023
    6 projects | /r/sysadmin | 2 Jan 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.
