This is a deep dive workshop on Active Directory services security, a must-go for administrators, security officers and architects. It is delivered by one of the best people in the market in the security field – with practical knowledge from tons of successful projects, many years of real-world experience, great teaching skills and no mercy for misconfigurations or insecure solutions.

This workshop will present you the critical tasks performed by skilled attacker or pentester against Active Directory and its key components. The course focuses on attacks and security of Windows identity solutions.

Exploits are not the only way to get to the systems! We will go through the operating systems’ builtin problems and explore how they can be beneficial for hackers! One of the most important things to conduct a successful attack is to understand how the targets work. To the bones! Afterwards everything is clear and the tool is just a matter of our need.
