acl-abuse

Abusing Active Directory object ACLs (DACL/ownership) for privilege escalation and lateral movement (GenericAll, GenericWrite, WriteDACL, WriteOwner, AddMember, ForceChangePassword, and replication rights via DS-Replication-Get-Changes-All). Use when BloodHound CE shows an outbound control edge from a principal you own toward a higher-value object, and you want the exact bloodyAD/impacket command to weaponize that ACE, plus detection and remediation. DCSync is covered here strictly as a post-compromise technique, not a user entry path.

# ACL Abuse

Active Directory permissions are a graph. A single misconfigured Access Control Entry (ACE), say a low-priv user with `GenericAll` over a group, `WriteDacl` over a computer, or `WriteOwner` over an OU, is a directed edge you can walk from where you are toward Domain Admin. This skill turns those edges into concrete commands with **bloodyAD** and **impacket**, after **BloodHound CE** (Apache-2.0, genuinely open source) has drawn the path.

**Find the paths first (BloodHound CE).** Collect with a standard collector, import into BloodHound CE, and look at the outbound control edges from your owned principal: `GenericAll`, `GenericWrite`, `WriteDacl`, `Owns`/`WriteOwner`, `AddMember`, `ForceChangePassword`, `AllExtendedRights`, and `DCSync`. Pre-built queries like "Shortest paths from Owned principals" and "Find principals with DCSync rights" hand you the chain.

Collect edges with a standard collector, for example:
```
nxc ldap 10.0.0.10 -u user -p 'Password123' --bloodhound --collection All --dns-server 10.0.0.10
```
or run `rusthound-ce` / SharpHound CE and import the ZIP into BloodHound CE.
