Hoedown Roundup: Wrangling Active Directory Misconfigurations, Texas Style!

While external assessments may pinpoint certain vulnerabilities, the specific details of misconfigurations, unique to each organization, may slip past even the most diligent administrators. During this session, I will stress the crucial importance of internal assessments, shedding light on commonly overlooked configurations that could be exploited by skilled adversaries. To emphasize this, we'll showcase how custom PowerShell scripts and LDAPsearch one-liners act as our reliable tools in this assessment. So saddle up, put on your cowboy hat, holster those PowerShell scripts, and join me for a technical hoedown where we'll explore how to secure your Active Directory.
