Excerpt

AD CS Attacks (ESC1–ESC17)

AD CS is the single richest privilege-escalation surface in modern AD. A misconfigured template or CA lets a low-privileged user obtain a certificate that authenticates as a Domain Admin. This skill uses Certipy (the ly4k project) throughout. You drive it by hand.

The whole thing starts with one enumeration pass. Run it first, read the output, then pick the ESC that applies.

certipy find -u user@corp.local -p 'Password123' -dc-ip 10.0.0.10 -vulnerable -stdout

Certipy names each finding by its ESC number, so the tool's output tells you which of the below applies. Save the full JSON/BloodHound output for the report:

certipy find -u user@corp.local -p 'Password123' -dc-ip 10.0.0.10 -vulnerable -old-bloodhound

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
