map
01 — AD intermediate map
Learning objectives
- Run a targeted domain enum (users/groups/SPNs/ACLs of interest) without spraying every Impacket module
- Explain and execute one Kerberos attack class per lab (AS-REP, Kerberoast, or constrained/unconstrained as encountered)
- Use BloodHound/SharpHound as a path finder, not a substitute for understanding the edge
- Stop before “win DA by any means” — write the path that matched the objective
Intuition
Beginner found an identity. Intermediate maps who can become whom and abuses Kerberos where the graph points.
Intermediate path
- Revisit vocab from beginner map
- AI5 — Phases that match your lab; skip tool spam
- AI6 — Kerberos section for the roast/ticket class you need
- Labs — one primary Kerberos or permission objective each
- Optional: peek tradecraft AD notes only for the technique you used

| AI7 NTLM relay & lateral | Advanced — after Medium enum/Kerberos feel calm |
| AI8 ACL / ADCS / domain dominance | Operator encyclopedia + Certified/Escape-depth |
