Detecting DCSync Attack In Active Directory

The skill monitors Event ID 4662 for DS-Replication-Get-Changes GUIDs and flags non-domain‑controller accounts that issue DsGetNCChanges RPC calls, thereby detecting DCSync attacks that exfiltrate password hashes. Security teams hunting for credential theft via Mimikatz or Impacket, investigating lateral movement with domain admin credentials, or auditing AD replication permissions benefit from this real‑time detection.
