Active-Directory Exploitation

Introduction

When thinking about Windows, what is the first thing that comes to mind, maybe excessive bloatware, how Linux is much better or how closed-source operating systems are never a good idea.

Well, whatever you may have been thinking, you're wrong... kind of.

What is AD?
