How Hidden File Shares Exposed Domain Admin Credentials
Video Summary:
How do attackers go from file shares to full domain admin access without ever stealing a password? In this episode, we walk you through a real-world case where a hidden deployment share contained plaintext domain admin credentials. We'll share how a single misconfiguration opened the door to a full network compromise, and how our team exploited hidden file shares (with that sneaky $ at the end) to uncover sensitive data most IT teams don’t realize is exposed. We cover: ▪ How attackers exploit misconfigured Windows Deployment Services ▪ Why hidden file shares (like \servershare$) are a goldmine for pentesters ▪ The step-by-step relay attack used to gain access to internal network resources ▪ What red flags to look for in your own network shares and deployment tools Don’t miss this one if you manage Windows environments or want to harden your Active Directory infrastructure.
