Securing Active Directory: Defend Against Cyber Threats with EdWhere & Hack The Box

In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is more important than ever. One of the most vulnerable components of enterprise security is Active Directory (AD), the backbone of many corporate networks. Attackers continuously find ways to exploit AD through techniques like Kerberoasting, NTLM Relay, and NTDS Dumping Attacks. To defend against these threats, IT professionals and cybersecurity enthusiasts need the right training and tools.

At EdWhere, we are committed to empowering learners with the best resources to master cybersecurity in both English and Malayalam. With the collaboration of Hack The Box (HTB), we bring hands-on training that helps detect and mitigate AD attacks effectively.

Common Active Directory Attacks and How to Detect Them

1. Kerberoasting – Attackers extract encrypted service account passwords from AD and attempt to crack them offline.
