Good overview of Kerberoasting, still a common attack chain. A couple things though: To obtain access to a service, you actually need to get a service ticket (TGS) from the KDC (Domain Controller) to authenticate to the service, not a TGT. The TGT is the first ticket acquired during authentication to the domain. In addition, the "salt" is not a true salt but a concatenation of the domain and principal name, so even worse. Active Directory (invented at MIT) supports RC4, AES128, and AES256 encryption types, however you can effectively disable RC4 via Group Policy. The reason RC4 is still supported is to support legacy systems. Many organizations use old software that only supports RC4. For example, I've run into many manufacturing and small businesses that have no choice but to use it and can't upgrade the software due to $$$. Anyway, good stuff! Shout out to Tim Medin, who published this back in 2014.
