description: Adversaries may attempt to gather information on domain trust relationships
  that may be used to identify lateral movement opportunities in Windows multi-domain/forest
  environments.
narrative: Domain trusts provide a mechanism for a domain to allow access to resources
  based on the authentication procedures of another domain. Domain trusts allow the
  users of the trusted domain to access resources in the trusting domain. The information
  discovered may help the adversary conduct SID-History Injection, Pass the Ticket,
  and Kerberoasting. Domain trusts can be enumerated using the DSEnumerateDomainTrusts()
  Win32 API call, .NET methods, and LDAP. The Windows utility Nltest is known to be
  used by adversaries to enumerate domain trusts.
