DC Sync
Introduction
In Active Directory, domain controllers replicate data to stay synchronized, using the DRS Remote Protocol to request updates like user account changes.
DC Sync attack exploits this process by impersonating a domain controller and replicating sensitive information, such as password hashes.
In order to perform DC Sync the following privileges are required:
DS-Replication-Get-ChangesDS-Replication-Get-Changes-All
These privileges often granted to Domain Admins or Enterprise Admins.
DC Sync attack allows the attacker to gain further access and launch attacks like Golden Tickets.
