Abstract: Active Directory (AD) setup and penetration testing methodologies aimed at enhancing organizational cybersecurity. It begins with an overview of Active Directory, detailing its purpose and significance in modern IT infrastructures. Through a scenario-based approach, it demonstrates how Active Directory fulfills the needs of small companies by providing centralized user authentication and resource management solutions. Subsequently, the paper delves into the fundamental components of Active Directory, including domains, domain controllers (DCs), forests, and organizational units (OUs). It thoroughly examines each component's definition, administrative boundaries, and roles and responsibilities to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the AD architecture. Furthermore, the paper elucidates the various types of Active Directory objects, such as users, computers, groups, domains, and forests, along with their characteristics and functionalities. It also discusses authentication mechanisms within Active Directory, focusing on the transition from NTLM to Kerberos, and highlights the comparative advantages and security implications of these protocols. Security vulnerabilities inherent in Active Directory environments are explored, with a specific focus on emerging threats like LLMNR poisoning and SMB relay attacks. The paper outlines strategies for detecting and mitigating these vulnerabilities to bolster AD security posture effectively. Additionally, the paper scrutinizes post-compromise attack vectors, including Kerberoasting and token impersonation, providing detailed methodologies, attack demonstrations, and mitigation strategies. It emphasizes the importance of Active Directory setup and penetration testing as proactive measures to fortify organizational defenses against evolving cyber threats. In summary, the paper serves as a comprehensive guide to Active Directory setup and penetration testing, offering valuable insights, best practices, and mitigation strategies to safeguard organizational assets effectively.
