Domain Escalation and Persistence Practice Questions

This domain covers post-exploitation tradecraft on Windows/Active Directory: privilege escalation to Domain Admin, credential abuse (Kerberos, DCSync, LSASS), and durable persistence. GPEN tests whether you can select methods that survive reboots and password resets, and recognize why artifacts like backdoor accounts, Golden Tickets, and Skeleton Keys are dangerous if left behind.
