I Hacked a Windows Domain Controller

In this video, we fully compromise DC02, a Windows Domain Controller, and demonstrate a complete Active Directory attack chain from initial access to Domain Admin.

We begin with enumeration and domain reconnaissance, identify critical misconfigurations, and leverage privilege escalation techniques commonly found in real-world enterprise environments. Step by step, we move laterally through the domain, escalate privileges, and ultimately take full control of the Domain Controller.

This walkthrough is designed for:

Ethical hacking & red team training

Active Directory security learning

CTFs and lab-based practice

Understanding real-world AD attack paths
