Abstract
Many of today’s enterprises use Microsoft Active Directory (AD) either as their enterprise directory or as the network OS (NOS) directory for their Windows infrastructure. AD has become an important asset in most enterprises, and valuable things must be protected accordingly. This paper provides examples of attacks against Active Directory and shows how an enterprise directory can be protected against them. The attacks addressed in this paper include password cracking-, elevation of privilege- and denial-of-service-based attacks. The main goal of this paper is to show AD users the urgent need for taking a multi-pronged approach toward locking down and securing AD.
