For an ADCS ESC1 escalation, recall got the concept right but was fuzzy on exact syntax; the doc gave exact certipy command lines and a full misconfig table, though one of its own source links no longer resolves.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Offensive Active Directory does

A condensed offensive methodology for internal Active Directory penetration tests: BloodHound/PowerView recon, credential harvesting (Kerberoasting, ASREProast, NTLM relay, LLMNR poisoning), ACL and delegation abuse, ADCS ESC1-ESC15 exploitation, lateral movement, persistence, and MDI/Defender for Identity evasion. Triggers when a user is doing an authorized on-prem or hybrid AD/Entra red-team assessment and needs attack-path commands, not defensive hardening guidance.
