Forest is designed to mimic a misconfigured Active Directory environment. It requires the attacker to discover users, exploit weak Kerberos configurations, and ultimately escalate to Domain Admin using techniques like DCSync. 2. Reconnaissance & Enumeration Our first step is to map the attack surface using nmap . nmap -sC -sV -oA nmap_forest 10.10.10.161 Use code with caution. Key Findings: Active Directory relies heavily on DNS. Port 88 (Kerberos): Essential for authentication. Port 389 (LDAP): Active Directory lookup. Port 445 (SMB): File sharing. Port 5985 (WinRM): Windows Remote Management. The presence of LDAP ( ) and Kerberos ( We now have a hash

The script finds that the user svc-alfresco has pre-authentication disabled. It saves the hash to hashes.asreproast .
