Rubeus: C# toolset for raw Kerberos interaction and abuses
Rubeus
Rubeus is a C# toolset for raw Kerberos interaction and abuses. It is heavily adapted from Benjamin Delpy’s Kekeo project (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license) and Vincent LE TOUX‘s MakeMeEnterpriseAdmin project (GPL v3.0 license). Full credit goes to Benjamin and Vincent for working out the hard components of weaponization- without their prior work, this project would not exist.
Rubeus also uses a C# ASN.1 parsing/encoding library from Thomas named DDer that was released with an “MIT-like” license. Huge thanks to Thomas for his clean and stable code!
The KerberosRequestorSecurityToken.GetRequest method for Kerberoasting was contributed to PowerView by @machosec.
