Active Directory Pentesting with Kali Linux Practical Lab

Active Directory (AD) is the foundation of enterprise network infrastructure, and a critical target for threat actors. Once compromised, it can grant attackers full access to systems, users, and sensitive data. Many IT professionals and security teams lack the hands-on experience needed to identify and exploit real-world AD vulnerabilities.

You’ll build a safe, isolated lab with Kali Linux and Windows machines, and then perform real-world attacks like enumeration, password dumping, Kerberoasting, privilege escalation, Pass-the-Hash, and Golden Ticket forging so on. Step-by-step guidance NO theory just practical, repeatable attacks used by real adversaries.

This course bridges that gap by offering a fully interactive, lab-based environment where learners can safely simulate attacks and gain practical insight into how adversaries operate. Whether you’re preparing for red team operations, blue team defense, or cybersecurity certifications, mastering AD exploitation is a vital skill, and this course equips you with the tools to do just that.

You’ll learn to build a complete Active Directory lab using Kali Linux and simulate real-world attack scenarios in a controlled setting. Topics include domain reconnaissance, identifying weak entry points, initial access technique,s credential harvesting, lateral movement, and privilege escalation. You’ll also explore advanced attacks on Kerberos authentication, persistence strategies, and AD structure analysis to uncover hidden paths to high-value targets.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to execute full-scope red team simulations, from initial compromise to complete domain takeover, with confidence and precision.
