or accounts..</p> <p>Any account with a Service Principal Name can be Kerberoasted. It’s possible with the appropriate rights to add SPNs to accounts, including admin accounts, to discover the password for those accounts in order to gain/re-gain access to the account.</p> <p><span id="more-3466"></span></p> <h4><strong>Overview</strong></h4> <p>This sneaky persistence trick isn’t as straightforward as some of the others. This one takes some work, but can be very difficult to notice if done correctly and the environment doesn’t properly monitor Kerberos service accounts (AD user accounts with service principal names, SPNs).</p> <p>With Active Directory, it’s possible to delegate specific permissions on an Active Directory object such as a user, group, organizational unit (OU), etc., This ability to delegate is very powerful, since without careful planning, the admin could configure the environment where too many groups, and therefore group members, have more rights than required.</p> <p>One of the rights that by default, only Domain Admins have, is the ability to configure a service principal name (SPN) on an account. I have covered <a href="https://adsecurity.org/?p=227">SPNs</a> before, but to summarize, the SPN is like a signpost for Kerberos that points the service principal name to the associated Kerberos service account. For example, if you install Microsoft SQL on adsmssql15.lab.adsecurity.org on the default port, the associated service principal name would be MSSQL/adsmssql15.lab.adsecurity.org:1433 since this says that MS SQL is running on this server on this port (service port/instance is optional, though required for MS SQL). This SPN needs to be added to the account that the SQL service is running as on adsmssql15, which is usually an Active Directory user account (though for non-SQL Kerberos services, is often a computer account). In this example, the service account is “SQL15service” and a Domain Admin updates the account with a new SPN, “MSSQL/adsmssql15.lab.adsecurity.org:1433”. Once this is done, a client wanting to connect to the MS SQL service running on adsmssql15 on port 1433, can request a Kerberos service ticket from a Domain Controller (DC) for the SPN “MSSQL/adsmssql15.lab.adsecurity.org:1433”. This process is called a service ticket request (TGS-REQ) and the user sends their Kerberos authentication ticket (TGT) as poart of this request. The DC then looks up this SPN in Active Directory and will find the associated service account SQL15service. The DC takes the user’s Kerberos authentication ticket (TGT) which proves to the DC the user is who they purport to be (sent during the TGS-REQ) and uses the data in the TGT to create a new Kerberos service ticket which proves the user’s identity to the service associated with the SPN. This Kerberos service ticket (TGS) also includes the users group membership which the Kerberos service will use to determine if the user should be allowed to connect to the service and with what access. The Domain Controller encrypts this TGS ticket using the service accounts password hash: the NTLM password hash for RC4 encrypted tickets and an AES hash for AES encrypted tickets. This ensures that only the service account with the requested SPN can open the TGS ticket.</p> <p> </p> <h4><strong>Kerberoasting</strong></h4> <p>Tim Medin presented at DerbyCon 2014 where he released a tool he called Kerberoast which cracks Kerberos TGS tickets, He determined that possession of a TGS service ticket encrypted with RC4 provides the opportunity to take the ticket to a password cracking computer (or cloud system) and attempt to crack the service account’s password. How does this work? Since the TGS Kerberos ticket is encrypted with RC4 encryption, that means the service account’s password hash is used to encrypt the ticket. The cracking system only needs to have a dictionary list of words and common passwords which the cracking system loops through, converts to NTLM, and attempts to open the TGS ticket. If the TGS ticket is opened, we know the clear text password and the NTLM password hash for the account.</p> <p>Note: Cracking passwords that people usually create is often not that difficult. Cracking passwords that Windows or Active Directory creates is nearly impossible since they are >127 characters long. This includes passwords generated for computer accounts, <a href="https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askds/2009/09/10/managed-service-accounts-understanding-implementing-best-practices-and-troubleshooting/">managed service accounts</a>, etc.</p> <p> </p> <h4><strong>The Setup</strong></h4> <p>I have seen AD environments where many rights are delegated to custom groups so the Active Directory admins don’t have to constantly perform the same tasks regularly. One of these is the ability of application owners or the server admins to be able to add service principal names to service accounts they own. Through the course of their work, it’s often necessary to create new computer accounts, new user accounts, new groups, etc., including the management of these accounts. The issue is that if these accounts aren’t properly protected, it’s possible for an attacker to take control of one (or more) of them. These accounts typically have full rights on many, if not all of the servers in an organization, including (too often) the admin servers Active Directory admins use to manage AD.</p> <p>Quick example of how this works:</p> <p>Padme is a member of “SPN Admins” which grants the ability to modify the ServicePrincipalName attribute on user accounts in specific OUs. Padme has no other group membership or special rights to AD.</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3485" src="https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-OUPermissions-WriteSPN-01.jpg" alt="" width="549" height="169" srcset="https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-OUPermissions-WriteSPN-01.jpg 1160w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-OUPermissions-WriteSPN-01-300x92.jpg 300w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-OUPermissions-WriteSPN-01-768x236.jpg 768w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-OUPermissions-WriteSPN-01-1024x315.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px" /></p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3484" src="https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-Padme-MemberOf-SPNAdmins-01.jpg" alt="" width="538" height="170" srcset="https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-Padme-MemberOf-SPNAdmins-01.jpg 1149w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-Padme-MemberOf-SPNAdmins-01-300x95.jpg 300w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-Padme-MemberOf-SPNAdmins-01-768x242.jpg 768w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-Padme-MemberOf-SPNAdmins-01-1024x323.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px" /></p> <p>Compromising this account provides the ability to modify accounts in the target OU and add SPNs to them.

take the requested tickets, save them out of memory to files, move them to another system, and crack them offline with a tool like Kerberoast, hashcat, etc.</li> </ul> <p>There’s a couple different angles to this attack/persistence method:</p> <ul> <li>Add SPNs to admin accounts for which the attacker wants to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">retain</span> access.</li> <li>Add fake SPNs to admin accounts for which the attacker wants to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">get </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">the passwords</span>.</li> </ul> <p>The key take-away here is that as long as a person (instead of a computer) created the password and it’s not of sufficient length to resist modern cracking techniques, the attacker can gain knowledge of the account password simply because it has an associated service principal name.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: Will Schroeder (@harmj0y) describes “<a href="http://www.harmj0y.net/blog/activedirectory/targeted-kerberoasting/">Targeted Kerberoasting</a>” which is modifying an account to have a fake SPN temporarily to grab an RC4 TGS ticket and crack to get the account’s password.</p> <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> An attacker could also grant rights to certain OUs containing admin accounts to provide a regular user account to modify the ServicePrincipalName attribute on the admin accounts in these OU. All that’s required is delegating the “Write ServicePrincipalName” access right (Full Control does not provide SPN modification rights). Though this isn’t straightforward to configure via AD Users & Computers since the access right is hidden in the GUI by default.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3489" src="https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-OUPermissions-WriteSPN-SecurityDSA.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="28" srcset="https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-OUPermissions-WriteSPN-SecurityDSA.jpg 350w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Persistence-OUPermissions-WriteSPN-SecurityDSA-300x51.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px" /></p> <h4>Limitations</h4> <ol> <li>Accounts with SPNs are monitored and these new SPNs are discovered (though it may be seen as a mistake, especially if they are typo’d SPNs for existing services: MSSQL/asdmssql15.lab.adsecurity.org.</li> <li>When the password changes, it is a pseudo-random password longer than 20 characters. Most people use predictable password, so using a password generator for creating these passwords will make them very difficult to crack.</li> </ol> <p> </p> <h4>Mitigation & Detection</h4> <p>Kerberoast mitigation is simple: use long, complex passwords (>30 characters) for all service accounts or preferably, use <a href="https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askds/2009/09/10/managed-service-accounts-understanding-implementing-best-practices-and-troubleshooting/"><strong>Managed Service Accounts</strong></a>. If an attacker is using this technique to persist, changing service account passwords at least once a year to something long & complex will help mitigate.</p> <p>With PowerShell, it’s trivial to get a list of domain/forest user accounts that have an associated SPN.<br /> PowerShell AD module: <em><strong>get-aduser -filter {serviceprincipalname -like “*”} -prop serviceprincipalname</strong></em></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3482" src="https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Detection-FindAllUserswithSPNs-01.jpg" alt="" width="608" height="503" srcset="https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Detection-FindAllUserswithSPNs-01.jpg 1332w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Detection-FindAllUserswithSPNs-01-300x248.jpg 300w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Detection-FindAllUserswithSPNs-01-768x635.jpg 768w, https://adsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Kerberoast-Detection-FindAllUserswithSPNs-01-1024x847.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px" /></p> <p>If you are logging PowerShell activity and sending that data into a SIEM/Splunk, set an alert for “KerberosRequestorSecurityToken”.</p> <p>Hopefully, the environment is mature enough where these accounts should be in a specific OU (or within a specific OU). If all service accounts are in a designated location and new ones are found outside of this location, then that’s something that can be monitored.</p> <p>Every environment should be checking for old service accounts (AD accounts with SPNs) and at least removing the SPNs when no longer needed.</p> <p>Too often I visit a customer and find the default domain admin account has a service principal name associated with it. Not only does this mean that this account is probably running as a service on a regular server, but that the default domain admin account could be Kerberoasted to gain knowledge of its password and own the domain.</p> <p><strong>NOTE:</strong><br /> <em>A Service Principal Name should only be added to an account when an application requires it. When that service account is no longer needed and the application has been taken out of service, the SPN needs to be removed from the service account and the service account disabled.<br /> Don’t add a SPN to an admin account, create a new account with the appropriate rights to be the service account.<br /> Never add a SPN to a default Administrator account or “break-glass” account meant to only be used when other accounts won’t work.</em></p> <p>Some organizations delegate the ability to modify the ServicePrincipalName attribute on accounts, this should be carefully monitored and controlled.</p> <p> </p> <h4>Kerberoasting References</h4> <ul> <li><a href="https://adsecurity.org/?p=3458">Detecting Kerberoasting Activity</a> (part 1)</li> <li><a
