**EntraGoat** is a deliberately vulnerable Microsoft Entra ID infrastructure designed to simulate real-world identity security misconfigurations and attack vectors. EntraGoat introduces intentional vulnerabilities in your environment to provide a realistic learning platform for security professionals. It features multiple privilege escalation paths and focuses on black-box attack methodologies.

EntraGoat uses PowerShell scripts and Microsoft Graph APIs to deploy vulnerable configurations in your Entra ID tenant. This gives users complete control over the learning environment while maintaining isolation from production systems.

## 🐐 Getting Started 🐐

[](https://github.com/Semperis/EntraGoat#-getting-started-)

### Prerequisites

[](https://github.com/Semperis/EntraGoat#prerequisites)

- A Microsoft Entra ID tenant (Use a test/trial tenant)
- Global Administrator privileges
- Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK
- Node.js, npm

### ⚙️ Installation

[](https://github.com/Semperis/EntraGoat#%EF%B8%8F-installation)

EntraGoat provides an interactive web interface for challenge management and PowerShell scripts for infrastructure deployment.

#### Method 1: Quick Setup

[](https://github.com/Semperis/EntraGoat#method-1-quick-setup)

1. **Clone the repository**git clone https://github.com/Semperis/EntraGoat  
cd EntraGoat
2. **Install Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK**Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser -Force
3. **Run the web interface**cd .\\frontend  
npm install  
npm start
4. **Access EntraGoat at** `http://localhost:3000`
5. **Run the Setup Script for each given scenario**

#### Method 2: Manual PowerShell Setup (Recommended)

[](https://github.com/Semperis/EntraGoat#method-2-manual-powershell-setup-recommended)

For individual scenarios, navigate to the specific challenge directory:

cd scenarios  
.\\EntraGoat-Scenario1-Setup.ps1

## 🎯 Challenge Structure

[](https://github.com/Semperis/EntraGoat#-challenge-structure)

Each scenario includes:

- **Setup Script** \- Deploys vulnerable configuration
- **Cleanup Script** \- Removes all created objects
- **Solution Walkthrough** \- Step-by-step attack demonstration
- **Capture the Flag** \- Hidden flags to discover

## 💰 Pricing

[](https://github.com/Semperis/EntraGoat#-pricing)

EntraGoat scenarios run entirely within your existing Entra ID tenant and do not incur additional Microsoft licensing costs. The vulnerabilities are created through configuration changes only.

**Note:** Use a dedicated test tenant to avoid impacting production environments.
