## Overview

Pass-the-Ticket (PtT) is a lateral movement technique that uses stolen Kerberos tickets (TGT or TGS) to authenticate to services without knowing the user's password. By extracting Kerberos tickets from memory (LSASS) on a compromised host, an attacker can inject those tickets into their own session to impersonate the ticket owner and access resources as that user.


## When to Use

- When conducting security assessments that involve conducting pass the ticket attack
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing

## Prerequisites

- Familiarity with red teaming concepts and tools
- Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
- Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
- Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

## MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

- **T1550.003** - Use Alternate Authentication Material: Pass the Ticket
- **T1003.001** - OS Credential Dumping: LSASS Memory
- **T1558** - Steal or Forge Kerberos Tickets
- **T1021.002** - Remote Services: SMB/Windows Admin Shares

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Ticket Extraction
1. Gain local admin access on target workstation
2. Dump Kerberos tickets from LSASS memory using Mimikatz or Rubeus
3. Export tickets in .kirbi format (Mimikatz) or base64 (Rubeus)
4. Identify high-value tickets (Domain Admin TGTs, service tickets to critical systems)

### Phase 2: Ticket Injection
1. Purge existing Kerberos tickets from attacker session
2. Import/inject stolen ticket into current session
3. Verify ticket is loaded and valid
4. Access target resources using injected ticket
