TL;DR za napadače
- Kerberos is the default AD auth protocol; most lateral-movement chains will touch it. For hands‑on cheatsheets (AS‑REP/Kerberoasting, ticket forging, delegation abuse, etc.) see: 88tcp/udp - Pentesting Kerberos
Najnovije napomene o napadima (2024‑2026)
- RC4 finally going away – Windows Server 2025 DCs no longer issue RC4 TGTs; Microsoft plans to disable RC4 as default for AD DCs by end of Q2 2026. Environments that re‑enable RC4 for legacy apps create downgrade/fast‑crack opportunities for Kerberoasting.
- PAC validation enforcement (Apr 2025) – April 2025 updates remove “Compatibility” mode; forged PACs/golden tickets get rejected on patched DCs when enforcement is enabled. Legacy/unpatched DCs remain abusable.
- CVE‑2025‑26647 (altSecID CBA mapping) – If DCs are unpatched or left in Audit mode, certificates chained to non‑NTAuth CAs but mapped via SKI/altSecID can still log on. Events 45/21 appear when protections trigger.
- NTLM phase‑out – Microsoft will ship future Windows releases with NTLM disabled by default (staged through 2026), pushing more auth to Kerberos. Expect more Kerberos surface area and stricter EPA/CBT in hardened networks.
- Cross‑domain RBCD remains powerful – Microsoft Learn notes that resource‑based constrained delegation works across domains/forests; writable
msDS-AllowedToActOnBehalfOfOtherIdentityon resource objects still allows S4U2self→S4U2proxy impersonation without touching front‑end service ACLs.
Brzi alati
- Rubeus kerberoast (AES default):
Rubeus.exe kerberoast /user:svc_sql /aes /nowrap /outfile:tgs.txt— outputs AES hashes; plan for GPU cracking or target pre‑auth disabled users instead. - RC4 downgrade target hunting: enumerate accounts that still advertise RC4 with
Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter '(msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes=4)' -Properties msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypesto locate weak kerberoast candidates before RC4 is fully disabled.
