This page presents a curated selection of key resources related to AD CS security. The resources are organized into three main categories:

• Privilege Escalation Techniques (ESCs)
• Significant Changes & Developments
• Additional References

The focus is on original research, techniques, and notable developments that have defined major changes in AD CS security and exploitation methods. While many of the resources initially focus on offensive techniques, they often include corresponding hardening recommendations and mitigation strategies.

Two documentation-focused entries are also included in recognition of their exhaustive and ongoing efforts to document AD CS behavior, vulnerabilities, and security posture. These serve as foundational references for both attackers and defenders.

If you would like to suggest additions or updates to this list, please open an issue.

The following table outlines known Escalation Abuse Cases (ESCs) involving AD CS. It includes the original researchers, publication dates, and corresponding links. While some techniques may have been identified or discussed by others, credit is given to those who originally published and classified them as specific ESC techniques.

This section covers major updates, vulnerability disclosures, changes, and techniques related to AD CS exploitation that fall outside the defined ESC categories.

These resources provide additional context and practical insights related to AD CS, often building on prior research or demonstrating exploitation scenarios.
