Lateral Movement: Pass the Hash Attack
This article provides a technical walkthrough of Pass-the-Hash (PtH) attacks against Windows Active Directory, demonstrating exploitation across SMB, WinRM, WMI, MSSQL, RDP, and LDAP using tools like nxc, Impacket, Metasploit, Evil-WinRM, pth-winexe, Mimikatz, and Rubeus. It includes a lab setup (ignite.local with a Windows Server 2019 DC), detailed command examples for lateral movement and credential dumping, and mitigation strategies such as Credential Guard, NTLM restrictions, and tiered administration. #Mimikatz #ignite.local
Pass-the-Hash attacks exploit NTLM hashes to authenticate across SMB, WinRM, WMI, MSSQL, RDP, and LDAP in Windows AD environments. Tools like Mimikatz and Metasploit enable lateral movement and credential dumping. #PassTheHash #WindowsAD #USA
