proto-kerberos

You can audit Active Directory Kerberos configurations safely by performing a read-only security audit of the realm. This approach checks encryption types, ticket lifetimes, and pre-authentication policies via authenticated LDAP without running intrusive tools or credential attacks.

The best way to check for dangerous Kerberos delegation is to audit service principal names and delegation posture. This identifies high-value SPNs and risky configurations like unconstrained delegation or resource-based constrained delegation (RBCD) without modifying the environment.

Read-only LDAP enumeration validates Kerberoasting resistance by inspecting service principal name hygiene and account configurations. It identifies architectural weaknesses in the Kerberos realm that expose high-value service accounts to offline ticket cracking.

Yes, you can use non-intrusive Kerberos auditing for Active Directory compliance checks. It performs authenticated, read-only enumeration of domain hardening policies, ensuring risk assessment and compliance validation without locking accounts or manipulating tickets.

Read-only Kerberos security audits are limited to configuration review and risk assessment; they strictly prohibit credential-based attacks and ticket manipulation. They identify architectural weaknesses but do not perform active exploitation or modify domain controller settings.
