Today, Network Infiltration: Pen-Testing Internal Networks & Active Directory is released-a practical, defense-oriented roadmap to understanding and assessing Windows enterprise networks. Rather than offering tool lists, the book teaches practitioners to think like assessors: define scope, gather the right telemetry, map behaviors to MITRE ATT&CK, and communicate findings leaders can act on.
What's inside
The book demystifies how authentication and authorization actually work in practice-Kerberos, NTLM, tokens, SIDs, SPNs-and shows how Group Policy, delegations, and trust topology shape exposure. Readers build a small, offline lab to observe identity flows on the wire and in logs, deploy Sysmon alongside Windows Event IDs, and integrate signal into SIEM/EDR/UEBA pipelines. The result is a repeatable way to establish baselines, detect what matters, and harden what counts.
Who it serves
Security engineers, detection analysts, incident responders, red/purple teamers, architects, admins-anyone responsible for the safety and reliability of Windows environments.
Key takeaways
Clear mental models for AD, GPOs, trusts, and admin protocols
A safe, reproducible offline lab and build scripts
Curated Windows Event and Sysmon IDs that surface meaningful behaviors
Practical hardening: tiering, LAPS hygiene, Credential Guard, auditing that works
Reporting patterns that tie technical signal to business risk
