T5AI for Cloud & Identity Attack Paths

BloodHound and attack paths

Active Directory describes itself, and BloodHound collects that description to compute the shortest path from where you are to Domain Admin, turning a tangle of permissions into a queryable graph.

Learning objectives

  • Explain the problem BloodHound solves and why manual path-finding is infeasible.
  • Describe the collect, ingest, and plan workflow of a BloodHound run.
  • Read common edge types and map each to the technique that abuses it.
  • Use an AI operator to summarise graph output while keeping edge abuse behind approval.
