This week: Relationship Shortcuts.

Instead of listing all traversable relationships in your Cypher queries, use:

[:AD_ATTACK_PATHS] for Active Directory
[:AZ_ATTACK_PATHS] for Entra ID
[:ALL_ATTACK_PATHS] for AD & Entra

Happy #BloodHoundBasics day!

Tired of the old 'Enable SMB signing everywhere' rec that isn't actually practical? BloodHound can help you convert that massive IT project into a doable risk mitigation effort, focused on those systems truly vulnerable to relay attacks.

Today is #BloodHoundBasics Day! 🙌

We commonly see Domain Admins peppered across Organizational Units. This can degrade your security posture by making Group Policy enforcement hard to understand or audit.

BloodHound helps by visualizing BOTH the OU placement AND group membership.

Santa's early w/ a new #BloodHoundBasics post!🎅

Looking for new Attack Paths to the domain? 🔎
BH v6.3 introduces CoerceToTGT.
The edge connects principals w/ unconstrained delegation to the domain, as attackers can use those to coerce privileged computers & retrieve their TGT.

Easily RETURN computers, users, and certificate templates created in the last X days where X can match anything you want. In this case we are looking for objects created in the last 365 days.

A very happy #BloodHoundBasics day from @psionicjake.github.io!

In BloodHound Enterprise, CanRDP normally means:
"If I compromise this user, I can RDP directly to this machine and land inside Windows."

But Citrix changes what "RDP access" actually means.

Happy #BloodHoundBasics day! This week we are looking at how BloodHound classifies Tier Zero.

Q: Why is not just the DA group Tier Zero but also all members?
A: BloodHound classifies a few default Tier Zero assets, then adds more w/ logic from known attack techniques.

Let's talk Tier 0 inheritance. If you're trying to unravel why some of the objects in your environment show up as Tier 0, this query will demonstrate the nuances of inheritance in 2 ways: inheritance up w/ OUs, & inheritance down w/ Groups.

Did you know that cypher supports regular expressions? A common use for this is to perform a case-insensitive query. For example, the query shown will return users with a SAMAccountName of "Guest" or "guest".

You've successfully compromised Bob in marketing's account in an engagement. Mark it as Owned by right-clicking ➡️ "Add to Owned" ➡️ run the query "Shortest Paths from Owned objects to Tier Zero" & see your new attack paths!

Did you know BloodHound started with just 3 node types and a few edges? Today, it supports 36 node types and 113 edge types, uncovering a vast array of attack paths.

Don't let hybrid Attack Paths compromise your privileged roles. Take action and remove these by using cloud-only accounts and shut down the attackers access with BloodHound.

A very merry #BloodHoundBasics, courtesy of @martinsohn.dk!

In Active Directory, the creator of an object (user, computer, group, ...) becomes the object's owner.
What can an owner do? By default, the owner can compromise the created object.

This week's 🔥 topic from @martinsohn.dk: the Microsoft-wont-fix-yet "BadSuccessor" attack that abuses Server 2025's dMSA feature for domain takeover.

This 🧵 shows how you can use BloodHound to find BadSuccessor risk.

Happy #BloodHoundBasics Day!

The ability for a principal to reset the password of a user w/o knowing the password of that user can be powerful! Cypher can be used to map out paths from groups to users w/ this ability:

MATCH p=(n:Group)-[:ForceChangePassword]->(m:User)
RETURN p

We've got a fresh #BloodHoundBasics post from @jonas-bk.bsky.social!

Ever wondered about those obscure AD special identity groups that quietly grant permissions to every principal in your environment?

With BloodHound, you can uncover compromising permissions tied to these groups.

Have you checked out the new Privilege Zone Management feature in BloodHound? Now you can get much more granular with selecting what's going into your privilege zones (tiers) using selectors.
