deploying-active-directory-honeytokens
Deploys deception-based honeytokens in Active Directory including fake privileged accounts with AdminCount=1, fake SPNs for Kerberoasting detection (honeyroasting), decoy GPOs with cpassword traps, and fake BloodHound paths. Monitors Windows Security Event IDs 4769, 4625, 4662, 5136 for honeytoken interaction. Use when implementing AD deception defenses for detecting lateral movement, credential theft, and reconnaissance.

# Deploying Active Directory Honeytokens
## When to Use
- When deploying deception-based detection in Active Directory environments
- When detecting Kerberoasting attacks via fake SPN honeytokens (honeyroasting)
- When creating tripwire accounts to detect credential theft and lateral movement
- When building decoy GPOs to detect Group Policy Preference password harvesting
- When creating deceptive BloodHound paths to misdirect and detect attackers
- When supplementing existing AD monitoring with high-fidelity detection signals
## Common Misconfigurations & Verification
AD honeytokens fail silently when they are either too obvious (attackers skip
