## Description

This project is a technical guide and reference for internal network penetration testing. It serves as a collection of procedures for exploiting and navigating private corporate networks during security assessments.

The repository provides specialized manuals and cheat sheets focused on active directory attacks, lateral movement, and privilege escalation. It includes a post-exploitation playbook for maintaining system persistence and clearing forensic traces.

The documentation covers a broad range of security capabilities, including initial access, network pivoting and tunneling, and internal reconnaissance. It also details methods for evading security detection and compromising directory services to extract domain hashes.
