Kerberoast

Kerberoast

Kerberoasting se concentre sur l'acquisition de TGS tickets, spécifiquement ceux liés aux services fonctionnant sous des comptes utilisateurs dans Active Directory (AD), excluant les comptes d'ordinateur. Le chiffrement de ces tickets utilise des clés provenant des mots de passe utilisateurs, permettant la possibilité de cracking de credentials hors ligne. L'utilisation d'un compte utilisateur en tant que service est indiquée par une propriété "ServicePrincipalName" non vide.

Pour exécuter Kerberoasting, un compte de domaine capable de demander des TGS tickets est essentiel ; cependant, ce processus ne nécessite pas de privilèges spéciaux, le rendant accessible à quiconque ayant des credentials de domaine valides.

Points Clés :

• Kerberoasting cible les TGS tickets pour les services de comptes utilisateurs au sein de AD.
• Les tickets chiffrés avec des clés provenant des mots de passe utilisateurs peuvent être craqués hors ligne.
• Un service est identifié par un ServicePrincipalName qui n'est pas nul.
• Aucun privilège spécial n'est nécessaire, juste des credentials de domaine valides.

When a TGS is requested, Windows event `4769 - A Kerberos service ticket was requested` is generated.

### Persistence

If you have **enough permissions** over a user you can **make it kerberoastable**:

Set-DomainObject -Identity -Set @{serviceprincipalname='just/whateverUn1Que'} -verbose

You can find useful **tools** for **kerberoast** attacks here: [https://github.com/nidem/kerberoast](https://github.com/nidem/kerberoast)

If you find this **error** from Linux: **`Kerberos SessionError: KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW(Clock skew too great)`** it because of your local time, you need to synchronise the host with the DC. There are a few options:

- `ntpdate <IP of DC>` - Deprecated as of Ubuntu 16.04
- `rdate -n <IP of DC>`

### Mitigation

Kerberoasting can be conducted with a high degree of stealthiness if it is exploitable. In order to detect this activity, attention should be paid to **Security Event ID 4769**, which indicates that a Kerberos ticket has been requested. However, due to the high frequency of this event, specific filters must be applied to isolate suspicious activities:

- The service name should not be **krbtgt**, as this is a normal request.
- Service names ending with **$** should be excluded to avoid including machine accounts used for services.
- Requests from machines should be filtered out by excluding account names formatted as **machine@domain**.
- Only successful ticket requests should be considered, identified by a failure code of **'0x0'**.
- **Most importantly**, the ticket encryption type should be **0x17**, which is often used in Kerberoasting attacks.

Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{Logname='Security';ID=4769} -MaxEvents 1000 | ?{$.Message.split("n")[8] -ne 'krbtgt' -and $_.Message.split("n")[8] -ne '*$' -and $.Message.split("n")[3] -notlike '*$@*' -and $_.Message.split("n")[18] -like '0x0' -and $_.Message.split("`n")[17] -like "0x17"} | select ExpandProperty message

To mitigate the risk of Kerberoasting:

- Ensure that **Service Account Passwords are difficult to guess**, recommending a length of more than **25 characters**.
- Utilize **Managed Service Accounts**, which offer benefits like **automatic password changes** and **delegated Service Principal Name (SPN) Management**, enhancing security against such attacks.

By implementing these measures, organizations can significantly reduce the risk associated with Kerberoasting.

## Kerberoast w/o domain account

In **September 2022**, a new way to exploit a system was brought to light by a researcher named Charlie Clark, shared through his platform [exploit.ph](https://exploit.ph/). This method allows for the acquisition of **Service Tickets (ST)** via a **KRB_AS_REQ** request, which remarkably does not necessitate control over any Active Directory account. Essentially, if a principal is set up in such a way that it doesn't require pre-authentication—a scenario similar to what's known in the cybersecurity realm as an **AS-REP Roasting attack**—this characteristic can be leveraged to manipulate the request process. Specifically, by altering the **sname** attribute within the request's body, the system is deceived into issuing a **ST** rather than the standard encrypted Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT).

The technique is fully explained in this article: [Semperis blog post](https://www.semperis.com/blog/new-attack-paths-as-requested-sts/).

You must provide a list of users because we don't have a valid account to query the LDAP using this technique.
