  • Weakly-Encrypted Kerberos TGT Response Informational 1 variation

    A weakly encrypted Kerberos TGT was issued by a domain controller. The encryption type is abnormal for this DC and results in a TGT that is easier to crack. This behavior may indicate a Skeleton Key attack.

    ATT&CK tactics: Credential Access (TA0006) Persistence (TA0003) Defense Impairment (TA0112)
    ATT&CK techniques: Modify Authentication Process: Domain Controller Authentication (T1556.001)
    Required data: Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs XDR Agent
    Attacker's goals: Manipulate the domain controller authentication process to bypass standard authentication and gain access to hosts and resources in environments relying on single-factor authentication.
    Investigative actions: Identify the user or entity that requested the TGT during the alert timeframe. Determine whether a legitimate service or application requested weak Kerberos encryption. Verify whether the domain controller is patched against the Skeleton Key vulnerability (CVE-2016-1567).
