Three types of property names will be used, depending on where the property is found: * **Entity Panel:** Name shown in the BloodHound UI. * **Database:** Name stored in the BloodHound database and returned by the BloodHound API. This is to be used when running Cypher queries. * **Directory:** Name collected from the directory the node is stored in, for example, the LDAP name for an Active Directory property. | | | | | | ---------------------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Entity Panel** | **Database** | **Directory** | **Description** | | Object ID | `objectid` | `objectGUID` | The object's unique identifier in the directory. | | ACL Inheritance Denied | `isaclprotected` | `nTSecurityDescriptor` | Whether inherited permissions (ACEs) from containers are blocked on this object. | | Basic Constraint Path Length | `basicconstraintpathlength` | `caCertificate` (`X509Certificate`) | The maximum number of non-self-issued intermediate certificates that may follow this certificate in a valid certificate chain. | | Certificate Chain | `certchain` | `caCertificate` (`X509Certificate`) | A hierarchical list of certificates starting with the certificate for this CA and ending with a self-signed root certificate. Each certificate is signed by the private key of the next CA certificate. | | Certificate Name | `certname` | `caCertificate` (`X509Certificate`) | The name of the CA's certificate. | | Certificate Thumbprint | `certthumbprint` | `caCertificate` (`X509Certificate`) | The thumbprint (unique identifier) of the CA's certificate. | | Created | `whencreated` | `whenCreated` | When the object was created in the directory. | | Distinguished Name | `distinguishedname` | `distinguishedName` | The name of the object and it's location in AD. | | Domain FQDN | `domain` | - | The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain the object belongs to. | | Domain SID | `domainsid` | - | The SID of the domain the object belongs to. | | Has Basic Constraints | `hasbasicconstraints` | `caCertificate` (`X509Certificate`) | Whether the CA certificate has basic constraints. | | Last Collected by BloodHound | `lastcollected` | - | The most recent time the object was collected and ingested in BloodHound. | | Last Seen by BloodHound | `lastseen` | - | The most recent time the object or a reference to it was collected and ingested in BloodHound. | | - | `name` | `name` + domain name | Name of the object + @ + the name of the domain. | ## Edges The following edge types may be linked to/from this node. See the [edges documentation](/resources/edges) for more information on the edge types. ### Incoming edges | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | **Edge type** | **Entity panel category** | | [EnterpriseCAFor](/resources/edges/enterprise-ca-for) | - | | [GenericAll](/resources/edges/generic-all) | Inbound Object Control | | [GenericWrite](/resources/edges/generic-write) | Inbound Object Control | | [IssuedSignedBy](/resources/edges/issued-signed-by) | - | | [Owns](/resources/edges/owns) | Inbound Object Control | | [WriteDacl](/resources/edges/write-dacl) | Inbound Object Control | | [WriteOwner](/resources/edges/write-owner) | Inbound Object Control | ### Outgoing edges | | | | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | **Edge type** | **Entity panel category** | | [RootCAFor](/resources/edges/root-ca-for) | - | ## References * [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-directory-services-team/designing-and-implementing-a-pki-part-i-design-and-planning/ba-p/396953](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-directory-services-team/designing-and-implementing-a-pki-part-i-design-and-planning/ba-p/396953)  * [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/adschema/c-certificationauthority](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/adschema/c-certificationauthority)  * [https://specterops.io/blog/2024/01/24/adcs-attack-paths-in-bloodhound-part-1/](https://specterops.io/blog/2024/01/24/adcs-attack-paths-in-bloodhound-part-1/)
