ADCS Hacked: The ESC5 Attack Explained

In this video, we break down ESC5, one of the most dangerous attack paths in Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS). This technique can lead to full domain compromise if attackers gain access to the Certificate Authority (CA) server—either through Resource-Based Constrained Delegation (RBCD) or stolen administrative credentials.

Once in control, attackers can extract the CA’s private key, forge certificates, and impersonate any user or computer within the domain, undermining the integrity of your entire Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

*What You'll Learn:*
1. What ESC5 is and how it works
2. How attackers exploit ADCS and forge certificates
3. Real-world impact of a compromised CA
4. Key prevention strategies:
- Regular password rotation
- Dedicated admin credentials
- Principle of least privilege
