The Risks of Outdated Active Directory Certificate Services Configurations

A single misconfiguration in Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) can let attackers go from low-privileged users to full-on domain administrators, without ever touching a password.

In this episode, Sherri Davidoff and Tom Pohl walk through a real-world case where this exact misconfiguration led to a total domain takeover. If your organization installed AD CS more than 6 months ago, you could be at risk.

We'll discuss:
▪ What Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) actually does
▪ How a default setting in the AD CS web interface enables privilege escalation
▪ Step-by-step: How attackers impersonate a domain controller
▪ How stolen certificates and DC Sync attacks lead to full credential dumps and more
