Directory Security Threats
Notes:
Directory Service-specific threats…
1. Unauthorized access to data via data-fetching operations,
2. Unauthorized access to reusable client authentication information by monitoring others' access,
3. Unauthorized access to data by monitoring others' access,
4. Unauthorized modification of data,
5. Unauthorized modification of configuration,
6. Unauthorized or excessive use of resources (denial of service), and
7. Spoofing of directory: Tricking a client into believing that information came from the directory when in fact it did not, either by modifying data in transit or misdirecting the client's connection.
Crackers-at-large are your typical enemies
Your own administrators, employees, users are your largest source of threats (supporting citation?)
