About this tag
RPC protocols are a recurring topic in Windows security discussions, particularly regarding authentication coercion attacks. In Windows networks, attackers can abuse RPC-based mechanisms to force authentication from high-value targets like domain controllers, enabling lateral movement or privilege escalation. Even low-privileged accounts may exploit these protocols to relay intercepted credentials. Understanding how RPC protocols function in Windows environments is essential for defending against such threats, as they remain a vector for domain compromise despite Microsoft's security improvements.
