Active Directory Certificate Services: Hardening Your Security

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Netwrix

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • PSPKIAudit

    PowerShell toolkit for AD CS auditing based on the PSPKI toolkit.

  • The PSPKIAudit tool can help you audit your PKI infrastructure. To use PSPKIAudit, simply download the tool from GitHub, import the module and run the Invoke-PKIAudit command. This will enumerate the Certificate Authority from Active Directory and then query it for some of the default options.

  • PetitPotam

    PoC tool to coerce Windows hosts to authenticate to other machines via MS-EFSRPC EfsRpcOpenFileRaw or other functions.

  • I expect an increasing number of attacks on Active Directory Certificate Services. In fact, a PetitPotam with ADCS NTLM Relaying attack has already come out since the SpecterOps paper was published, and SpecterOps is releasing ForgeCert, the Golden Ticket of Certificates, at BlackHat 2021. Therefore, it’s urgent to check for misconfigurations in your environment and remediate them promptly, and then to repeat the process on a regular basis.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
