Kerberoasting and AS-REP Roasting
Request Kerberos service tickets and crack them offline with Hashcat.
Kerberos Ticket Encryption
Service tickets are encrypted with the service account's password hash. Any domain user can request a service ticket for any SPN. If the service account has a weak password, the ticket can be cracked offline.
What is Kerberoasting?
Kerberoasting requests service tickets for accounts with Service Principal Names (SPNs), extracts the encrypted ticket, and cracks it offline with Hashcat. No elevated privileges required — any domain user can do this.
