PowerShell and Kerberos
PowerShell can be effectively used to perform a wide range of security tests against Kerberos, a widely used authentication protocol. In this section, we will explore how PowerShell can be employed to assess the security of Kerberos implementations, identify vulnerabilities, and enhance system defenses.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses secret-key cryptography to authenticate users and services on a network. It’s employed in many Windows-based environments and is known for its robust security mechanisms. However, like any technology, Kerberos can have vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. PowerShell can be utilized to uncover these vulnerabilities proactively.
The enumeration of Kerberos tickets
PowerShell provides cmdlets such as Get-KerberosTicket that allow security testers to enumerate Kerberos tickets, revealing valuable information about active sessions and potential attack vectors, such as the...
