What Windows Server 2025 Quietly Did to Your NTLM Relay
TL;DR This post is super short, nevertheless: The classic cross-DC coerce + relay to LDAPS technique, abusing a misconfigured LmCompatibilityLevel (0/1/2) to generate NTLMv1 + ESS and strip the MIC…

From NTLM relay to Kerberos relay: Everything you need to know
While I was reading Elad Shamir recent excellent post about NTLM relay attacks, I decided to contribute a companion piece that dives into the mechanics of Kerberos relays, offering an analysis and …

Hey, we should really switch from NTLM to something like Kerberos, yet another good reason, right? 🤣😂

The (Almost) Forgotten Vulnerable Driver
Vulnerable Windows drivers remain one of the most exploited methods attackers use to gain access to the Windows kernel. The list of known vulnerable drivers seems almost endless, with some not even…

@decoder-it.bsky.social and i noticed that it's no more possible to call NtLoadDriver pointing to an unprivileged regkey such as \REGISTRY\USER Even if you have the SeLoadPrivilege you would still require the Admin group to write the required regkey. Some more technical details below 👇

Relaying DCOM has always intrigued me, so I decided to dive in. Started with a MiTM attack using a fake DNS entry, targeting certificate requests to an ADCS server and relaying to SMB.

I'm glad to release the tool I have been working hard on the last month: #KrbRelayEx A Kerberos relay & forwarder for MiTM attacks! >Relays Kerberos AP-REQ tickets >Manages multiple SMB consoles >Works on Win& Linux with .NET 8.0 >... GitHub: github.com/decoder-it/K...

Following my prev tweet, my Kerberos MITM relay/forwarder is almost finished! It targets for example insecure DNS updates in AD, allowing DNS name forgery. It intercepts, relays, and forwards traffic, with the client unaware. Currently supporting smb->smb and smb->http (adcs)
