Potential Kerberos Encryption Downgrade

Query Information

MITRE ATT&CK Technique(s)

Technique ID Title Link
T1558.003 Steal or Forge Kerberos Tickets: Kerberoasting https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1558/003/
T1562.010 Impair Defenses: Downgrade Attack https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1562/010/

Description

Adversaries can use older kerberos encryption algorithms which are vulnerable to brute force attacks to crack passwords. This query can be used to detect changes in the support of kerberos encryption standards on domain joined devices. This query will list all changes that are performed after a device has joined the domain. If the results contain older encryption versions it could be an adversary trying to enable older ciphers to perform kerberoasting on a later stage.

What are weak algoritms? (source)

  • des-cbc-crc
  • des-cbc-md4
  • des-cbc-md5
  • des3-cbc-sha1
  • arcfour-hmac
  • arcfour-hmac-exp

Risk

An adversary has performed an downgrade attack to be able to perform kerberoasting.
