Improved Ticket Forging
Metasploit’s admin/kerberos/forge_ticket module has been updated to work with
Server 2022. In Windows Server 2022, Microsoft started requiring additional new
PAC elements to be present - the PAC requestor and PAC attributes. The newly
forged tickets will have the necessary elements added automatically based on the
user provided domain SID and user RID. For example:
