The ADWS Architecture That Hides PowerShell AD Enumeration
A security team discovered that threat actors successfully enumerated an entire Active Directory environment using Get-ADComputer without triggering any detections. The underlying issue stemmed from an architectural gap in how PowerShell communicates with Active Directory rather than sophisticated evasion techniques by the attacker.
Why it matters: Organizations relying on detection rules for PowerShell AD enumeration may have blind spots in their monitoring; practitioners should audit their ADWS (Active Directory Web Services) architecture and PowerShell logging to identify similar gaps in AD reconnaissance detection.
