Read this if
French-speaking Windows administrators and security practitioners who already know the basics and want one book covering the whole Active Directory attack lifecycle, enumeration, exploitation, privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, and trust-relationship abuse, paired with the Tier-based defenses that actually stop it.
Skip this if
Readers who don't read French, or beginners without prior Windows/AD or pentesting fundamentals; the publisher pitches this explicitly as an expert-level text, not an introduction.
Key takeaways
- Has readers build a disposable AD lab (GOAD, NetExec-Lab) so every attack chapter is run hands-on instead of read as theory.
- Covers the full AD attack lifecycle end to end, from LDAP/Kerberos fundamentals through post-exploitation and trust-relationship abuse.
- Pairs the offense with a dedicated defense chapter on Tier architecture, AGDLP, and risk-prevention policy, making it as much an audit manual as an attack manual.
Notes
Pair with Sécurité informatique - Ethical Hacking (ACISSI) for the broader French-language foundation, and with BloodHound's documentation or the Red Team Field Manual for cross-referencing English-language AD tooling. Published in Éditions ENI's Epsilon collection by two working pentesters who also teach the material at French cybersecurity schools.
