How seithunaing/active-directory-penetration-testing works
This repository is a personal Active Directory penetration-testing and CAPE exam reference, not an executable tool. The principal workflow is to consult the methodology and follow its documented engagement phases—from foothold and enumeration through credential harvesting, escalation, lateral movement, and domain or forest objectives—using the relevant technique notes. Separate chapters cover supporting topics such as MSSQL, pivoting, and evasion. Relationships shown are documented by the README’s phase table and notes index; no source excerpts were provided, so implementation-level calls do not apply.
