Windows Infrastructure Security - Stealing Credentials


Understand How Attackers Steal Windows Credentials—And How to Stop Them
Credential theft is one of the most common attack vectors in Windows environments. Without proper defenses, attackers can extract, abuse, and escalate privileges using stolen credentials.
In this focused mini-course, you’ll learn:
✔ How credentials & secrets are stored in Windows OS (LSASS, SAM, etc.).
✔ How protections like Credential Guard work.
✔ Real-world credential attacks (WDigest, delegation, token theft) and how to defend against them.
By the end, you’ll know how credential attacks work and how to stop them before they compromise your systems.
