Lock Down Your AD Before Attackers Do

Active Directory is the identity backbone of nearly every enterprise, and the most targeted infrastructure in any attack chain. RidgeBot® automates the full AD attack sequence so security teams can validate their exposure continuously.

RidgeBot® makes AD validation continuous and repeatable

How It Works

1. Enumerate

RidgeBot® discovers domain controllers, accounts, groups, and trust relationships, authenticated or not.

2. Attack

15 techniques execute across credential theft, lateral movement, and privilege escalation, chained the way a real attacker would.

3. Report

Every finding is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and delivered with prioritized remediation guidance.

Key Capabilities

Full attack chain, one scenario

RidgeBot® simulates how a real attacker moves through your domain — from first foothold to full compromise — automatically and without manual setup.

Safe for production environments

RidgeBot® is built for authorized internal testing, with controls that keep security operations teams informed and perimeter tools from interfering with the scan.

Clear, actionable reporting

Every finding maps to a standard framework so your team knows what was exposed, how severe it is, and what to fix first.

Broad technique coverage

RidgeBot® tests the credential theft, lateral movement, and privilege escalation techniques that show up in real-world breaches.

Two Modes

Black-Box

Recon Only

No credentials needed. Safe for any environment. Domain controller discovery, anonymous enumeration, and AS-REP roasting. No password attempts, no lateral movement.

Gray-Box

Full Chained Exploitation

Supply up to 5 credential pairs. RidgeBot® runs authenticated discovery, credential dumping, lateral movement, and Domain Admin path validation.

See For Yourself

Every day without AD penetration testing is another day an attacker could find a path your team hasn’t seen yet. Let us show you how RidgeBot® closes that gap.

FAQ’s – RidgeBot® Windows Active Directory Penetration Testing

What is Active Directory penetration testing?
Simulating how an attacker moves through your Windows domain, from enumeration to full domain compromise. RidgeBot® automates that simulation so you can run it continuously.
What's the difference between Black-Box and Gray-Box mode?

Black-Box runs without credentials, unauthenticated enumeration only. Gray-Box uses up to 5 credential pairs to unlock the full attack chain, including lateral movement and domain takeover.

How do SOC teams handle the traffic RidgeBot® generates?
Every request carries an X-RidgeBot® header with a unique ID. Analysts can pivot from any SIEM alert directly to the scan that triggered it — no noise, no interruptions.
What types of organizations benefit most from Active Directory penetration testing?

Any organization running a Windows-based environment. Healthcare, finance, government, and critical infrastructure face the highest risk — heavily Windows-dependent, highly regulated, and with severe consequences if a domain is compromised.

How long does an Active Directory penetration test take with RidgeBot®?
It depends on the size of the environment, but RidgeBot® runs significantly faster than a manual engagement. Most assessments complete in hours, not days.
