Session
As Microsoft phases out NTLM authentication, red teamers and pentesters need alternative techniques to maintain certain offensive capabilities. This talk demonstrates how Kerberos authentication can be abused through relaying attacks, providing a direct replacement for common NTLM relaying tradecraft. We'll cover the timeline for NTLM deprecation, practical Kerberos relaying techniques, demonstrate common attacks, and maybe even demonstrate some less common methods of abuse.
For defenders, we'll examine detection strategies beyond simply disabling NTLM, highlighting effective mitigations including Extended Protection for Authentication and LDAP signing requirements. Attendees will leave with actionable knowledge to both execute and defend against these emerging attack vectors in modern Active Directory environments.
