TA0007 · DISCOVERY
Domain Trust Discovery
Mapping trust relationships to find paths into other domains and forests.
Detect it with
nltest /domain_trusts, Get-DomainTrust, and BloodHound collector activity (SharpHound signatures).
Why it matters on shift
Domain Trust Discovery is one of the concrete ways adversaries achieve discovery. Recognising it in telemetry lets you name the technique in your ticket and pivot to what came before and after.
What to look for next
After discovery, the next tactic is usually Lateral Movement. Search your telemetry for the transition before closing the ticket.
