An Active Directory security audit goes beyond patching and vulnerability scanning by actively analyzing the identity attack surface that real adversaries target. At Codesecure Solutions, our AD security specialists map trust relationships, group memberships, service principals, and delegation settings, then replicate the hands on techniques used by ransomware crews and APT groups. The goal is to expose the specific attack paths that lead from a low privilege user to Domain Admin inside your Chennai headquartered environment.
Our Active Directory security audit in Chennai combines BloodHound graph analysis with manual exploitation so findings are mapped to MITRE ATT&CK TTPs your blue team can operationalize. We deliver prioritized remediation steps, tier zero hardening guidance, and retesting to confirm that each identity weakness has been closed.




Our Active Directory security audit covers configuration review, attack path analysis, and active exploitation across the identity plane. Each area surfaces a different class of weakness that attackers chain together to reach Domain Admin.

Every Active Directory security audit follows a structured methodology aligned to MITRE ATT&CK that mirrors how ransomware and APT operators actually move through an on premise or hybrid AD environment.
We enumerate domains, forests, trusts, sites, and key objects using LDAP queries and targeted tooling. This establishes the target graph before any exploitation begins.
We ingest directory data into BloodHound and analyze attack paths from standard users to Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, and tier zero servers to highlight the highest impact edges.
We execute Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, LLMNR poisoning, and password spraying to harvest credentials and prove that weak hashes and default settings are exploitable in your environment.
We chain delegation abuses, ACL misconfigurations, DCSync, and Golden Ticket scenarios to demonstrate the business impact of reaching Domain Admin or sensitive workload owners.
We deliver a report mapping every finding to MITRE ATT&CK, with proof of concept screenshots, tier zero hardening steps, and a free retest to confirm that each AD weakness is closed.
Active Directory attacks are rarely single exploits. Our audit simulates end to end scenarios that ransomware and targeted intrusion groups rely on, so your defenders see the complete story.
Requesting service tickets for accounts with SPNs, cracking them offline, and reusing the recovered passwords to pivot toward privileged groups and Domain Controllers.
Identifying accounts with pre-authentication disabled, extracting AS-REP responses, and cracking the resulting hashes to compromise identities without touching endpoints.
Testing which principals hold replication rights and abusing them to extract NTDS.dit hashes, proving the exposure of every user credential in your domain.
Forging Kerberos TGTs and service tickets to demonstrate the full impact of a KRBTGT hash compromise and the persistence options available to adversaries.
Exploiting vulnerable certificate templates and enrollment services such as ESC1 and ESC8 to escalate from low privilege users to Domain Admin using a single misconfiguration.
Abusing delegation misconfigurations to impersonate users against services and move from a toehold account to full compromise of Tier 0 resources.
Our Active Directory security audit team is ready to map the attack paths inside your domain and close them before ransomware operators find them. Get started with a scoping call today.
