# ADCS Abuse via Certipy

`certipy` (Oliver Lyak / ly4k) is the single best tool for ADCS attack. Full domain compromise from a low-priv user in 4 commands, given a vulnerable template.

## 1. Find vulnerable templates

```bash
certipy find -u 'lowpriv@target.local' -p 'pass' -dc-ip <dc-ip> \
  -enabled -vulnerable -text -stdout

# Output: shows every ESC1-ESC15 finding with the affected template
# Look for: "ESC1", "ESC2", "ESC3" sections in the report
```
