Abstract

Being the default authentication protocol for Windows-based networks, the Kerberos protocol is a prime target for attackers, especially for APTs attackers, seeking to steal the user's identity and steal secrets from the enterprise's data center. In late 2014 and early 2015, we saw a lot of research on the attacker side, yielding the Golden Ticket, Forged PAC (MS14-068) and the Skeleton Key attacks. Now it is the time to present the defensive side research. We will expose a novel method of detecting and defeating ALL of these attacks (and others) based solely on network monitoring. We continue to show a novel variant of the Golden Ticket attack, the "Diamond PAC" attack, that is able to evade a naïve network monitoring detection and provide a detection solution for it. The talk includes the release of the "Kerberos Leash" tool - a free tool we developed that implements some of the detection techniques for the benefit of the security community.
