The most thorough AD course I've found
The BloodHound attack path analysis combined with hands-on domain compromise labs is exceptional. I landed my first red team role directly after completing this course.

Kerberos attacks explained better than anywhere
The Kerberoasting to Golden Ticket progression is laid out so clearly. Complex concepts like RBCD and Trust attacks are made understandable through excellent lab exercises.

CRTP and OSCP prep in one course
This course covers everything needed for both CRTP and the AD components of OSCP. The domain trust attack modules go beyond what most certifications cover.
