Mastering Active Directory Attacks: The Red Team Playbook by Daily REDTeam, 2024

Active Directory (AD) is the crown jewel for attackers during engagements. This comprehensive guide dives deep into techniques that every red teamer should have in their arsenal. From recon to privilege escalation, it's all about navigating and exploiting AD's complexity.

Key Highlights:
1️⃣ Reconnaissance with BloodHound & PowerView
Map out AD relationships and uncover attack paths using BloodHound.
Enumerate users, groups, and domain policies with PowerView.

2️⃣ Privilege Escalation:
Exploit Kerberoasting and Pass-the-Hash to compromise service accounts.
Abuse vulnerable Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to escalate privileges.

3️⃣ Credential Dumping:
Leverage Mimikatz and DCSync attacks to extract sensitive credentials.
Dump NTDS.dit for domain-wide access.

4️⃣ Kerberos Ticket Attacks:
Deploy Golden Ticket and Silver Ticket attacks to maintain persistent access.
Exploit Kerberoasting to crack service account credentials offline.

5️⃣ Misconfigurations to Exploit:
Attack poorly configured LDAP and SMB signing settings.
Abuse Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) for privilege escalation.

Tools for Success:
🛠 BloodHound
🛠 CrackMapExec
🛠 Mimikatz
🛠 Impacket
🛠 PingCastle

The Top 10 Most Prevalent MITRE ATT&CK Techniques, Red Report 2024

Marking its fourth year of publication, the Red Report 2024 provides a critical dive into the evolving threat landscape, presenting a detailed analysis of adversaries' most prevalent tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used throughout the past year. Conducted by Picus Labs, this annual study examines over 600,000 malware samples and assesses more than 7 million instances of MITRE ATT&CK® techniques. It gives security teams invaluable insights into the techniques that pose the most critical cyber risk to organizations.

By prioritizing the top ten TTPs, The Red Report 2024 empowers cybersecurity teams with strategic intelligence to preemptively strengthen their defenses, reduce their attack surface, and adapt their security posture to today's dynamic threat environment.

Хорошее зрение за 30 дней, Михаил Гребенников, 2024

Это книга о том, как перестать ухудшать своё зрение, научиться его улучшать самостоятельно (без врачей) на ту реальную величину, на которую это возможно, и как затем сохранять это улучшенное зрение даже при больших зрительных нагрузках.

Книгу пишу на основе своего 14-летнего опыта в этой сфере. Рассказываю всё как есть, честно, без обмана и иллюзий. В этой книге будет сухая выжимка самой важной правды о естественном улучшении зрения, которую вам необходимо знать, чтобы самому эффективно позаботиться о здоровье своих глаз.
