Domain dominance and persistence
In this section, you will learn how to perform advanced techniques to abuse the trust within Kerberos and an Active Directory domain to gain dominance over all devices within a Windows domain and set up persistence within Active Directory.
You will learn about the fundamentals of creating the following tokens on Active Directory:
- Golden ticket
- Silver ticket
- Skeleton key
