Gather Ticket Granting Service (TGS) tickets for User Service Principal Names (SPN)
Description
This module will try to find Service Principal Names that are associated with normal user accounts. Since normal accounts' passwords tend to be shorter than machine accounts, and knowing that a TGS request will encrypt the ticket with the account the SPN is running under, this could be used for an offline bruteforcing attack of the SPNs account NTLM hash if we can gather valid TGS for those SPNs. This is part of the kerberoast attack research by Tim Medin (@timmedin).

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
