I want to give you a rundown of our lab environment because as I mentioned we are not simulating a
cloud infrastructure. We're doing a traditional hey here's your Active Directory domain controller
and some things to play with. So as you can see in our lab on the desktop in the top left. I'm
going to zoom in for you here real quick. Right below the recycling bin you can see VM information.
Don't know why that one opened. Inside of that VM information you get everything as far as the
FQDN of the domain, IP addresses, logon passwords. I try to keep everything as static as possible
without taking into consideration security obviously but just making it easier for us.
In addition I've also added a Kali and an Ubuntu system inside the network itself because we'll
possibly get around to adding Ubuntu to the Active Directory and we'll definitely be using Kali to do
enumeration along with working with some of the other clients and servers. So I just wanted to
give you a rundown of what everything looks like. Those server names that you see like server2vm
already are labeled accordingly on the right side of the screen. Actually right above me up here
and so that way you'll be able to get to them with no problem at all as we continue throughout this
course. That thing recorded all that and it deleted. So what we're taking a look at is the client-vm.
This is on the top right of your lab environment next to server1-ad. This client-vm is on the
domain of texas.local because glory to the republic and in the republic we have a client-vm that has
been compromised with dummy. That's right we brought it over into the client-vm to simulate
the fact that we have a client within the Active Directory structure compromised and we will be
using dummy here to be able to tunnel into our client-vm to start doing things like enumeration
and understanding the basics of authentication as Active Directory is structured. Now yes we covered
this in previous skills which is why I skipped straight to the point by adding dummy to the
actual desktop of the client-vm and it is controlled through msf console inside of our
Kali system. So different things to keep in mind as we start to make our way through what is Active
Directory.
