Domain password recovery via user-principal ticket requests
Published Jun 12, 2024 · Updated Nov 20, 2025
Kerberoasting in Red Hat FreeIPA allows remote authenticated users to recover domain-user passwords through offline brute force. The KDC issues service tickets for user principals and encrypts each ticket directly with a key derived from that user's password and public salt. Any domain principal with a TGT can collect these tickets, but practical recovery depends on target users having weak or dictionary-based passwords.
