# Throwback Network

### Introduction

Throwback is an Active Directory (AD) lab that teaches the fundamentals and core concepts of attacking a Windows network. The network simulates a realistic corporate environment that has several attack vectors you would expect to find in today’s organisations.

The lab uses a structured, hand-held approach to guide users through exploiting the network. The use of Windows to manage authentication and user identities in IT infrastructure today is so commonly used; as an aspiring security practitioner, it’s crucial to understand how this works and the network’s common weaknesses.

You will explore the following attacks:

* Phishing & OSINT
* Offensive Powershell
* Active Directory Basics
* Kerberos Abuse
* Custom Malicious Macros
* Active Directory Enumeration & Exploitation
* Attacking Mail Servers
* Firewall Pivoting
* C2 Frameworks
* Abusing Cross-Domain Trusts

This network has been designed to have multiple attack paths.
