# AD ACL / DACL abuse
## When it applies
You have domain creds and BloodHound shows your principal (or one you control) has a dangerous
**ACL edge** over another object — a user, group, computer, GPO, or the domain. These edges chain
into a path to Domain Admin without any CVE.
## Why it works
AD access control is a web of object permissions. Over-permissive ACLs let you *modify* other
principals: reset a password, add yourself to a privileged group, take ownership then rewrite the
DACL, or grant yourself DCSync — each turning a small right into control.
## Method — abuse per edge (BloodHound names the edge; it also shows the command)
1. **ForceChangePassword** over a user → reset their password: `net rpc password` / `bloodyAD set password`.
2. **GenericWrite / GenericAll over a user** → set an SPN and Kerberoast, or set `msDS-KeyCredentialLink`
(shadow credentials, `certipy shadow`/`pywhisker`) → auth as them.
3. **AddMember / GenericAll over a group** → add yourself to it (e.g. a privileged group): `net group ... /add`.
4. **WriteDACL / WriteOwner over an object** → take ownership, grant yourself GenericAll, then abuse as above.
5. **DCSync rights** (GetChanges/GetChangesAll on the domain) → `impacket-secretsdump -just-dc` to
dump all hashes incl. krbtgt (→ golden ticket).
6. **GPO edit rights** → push a scheduled task/immediate task to hosts the GPO applies to → RCE.
## Gotchas
- Let BloodHound plan the *path* — abuse edges in order; each step unlocks the next.
