LDAP Monitor v1.4 releases: Monitor creation, deletion and changes to LDAP objects live
LDAP Monitor
Monitor creation, deletion, and changes to LDAP objects live during your pentest or system administration!

Typical use cases
Here are a few use cases where this tool can be useful:
- Detect account lockout in real-time
- Check if your privilege escalation worked (with ntlmrelay’s –escalate-user option)
- Detect when users are login in to know when to start a network poisoning.
Limitations
LDAP paged queries return pageSize results per page, and it takes approximately 1 second to query a page. Therefore your monitoring refresh rate is (number of LDAP objects // pageSize) seconds. On most domain controllers pageSize = 5000.
