A community-maintained playbook documenting common attack scenarios against Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) with corresponding detection and mitigation guidance. Each chapter maps attack techniques to MITRE ATT&CK and shows how to detect them using the Microsoft security stack.
Use cases
- learn how password spray attacks on Entra ID are detected and mitigated
- understand adversary-in-the-middle phishing attacks against Azure AD
- detect token replay and PRT theft in Microsoft 365
- secure service principals used in Azure DevOps pipelines
- harden Entra ID consent grant permissions
- map identity attacks to MITRE ATT&CK techniques
- build identity threat detection rules in Microsoft Sentinel
- prevent lateral movement from compromised Active Directory to Entra ID
When to choose
- you administer or secure a Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD tenant
- you are building detection rules for identity attacks in Sentinel or Defender
- you want MITRE ATT&CK-mapped guidance for cloud identity threats
- you are preparing for red team or attack simulations against Azure AD
When to avoid
- you need a runnable security tool rather than documentation (though it references tools like EIDSCA)
- you secure non-Microsoft identity providers like Okta or Keycloak
- you need general on-premises Active Directory hardening unrelated to Entra ID
