Competition Identity Windows

Quick Start

1. Map the identity or pivot chain before diving into every host artifact.
2. Separate credential possession from accepted privilege.
3. Correlate identity evidence, host evidence, and mail evidence on one timeline.
4. Keep tickets, SIDs, event IDs, mailbox rules, and pivot hosts in compact evidence blocks.
5. Reproduce the privilege edge or mail effect from the smallest viable chain.

Workflow

1. Identity And AD

• Trace principal origin, sync path, token or ticket minting, claims transformation, group resolution, and accepting service.
• When Kerberos matters, record ticket type, SPN, delegation mode, PAC or group data, encryption type, and cache location.

2. Windows Host And Pivoting

• Correlate SAM, SECURITY, SYSTEM, NTDS, DPAPI, LSA secrets, ETW, Sysmon, PowerShell, services, tasks, WMI, WinRM, SMB, and RDP as one pivot graph.
• Express movement as a concrete chain: foothold -> recovered artifact -> replay path -> pivot host -> resulting capability.

3. Enterprise Messaging

• Keep phishing lures, consent logs, mailbox rules, and identity-provider events tied together so the mail path and privilege path stay connected.

What To Preserve

• SIDs, SPNs, ticket fields, event IDs, mailbox rules, and replay points
• Exact host-to-host pivot order and the service that accepts the credential or ticket
• Raw artifacts, parsed summaries, and derived timelines as separate outputs
