conducting-pass-the-ticket-attack

conducting-pass-the-ticket-attack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Youngmaidainon/Agent-Level-Up. It costs 85 tokens per session (925 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of conducting-pass-the-ticket-attack, MIT.

An authorized technique for reusing stolen Kerberos login tickets to access network services as another user without knowing that user’s password. Kerberos is a common system for authentication in Windows networks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in controlled red-team exercises or labs to test lateral movement defenses and detection of stolen-ticket activity.
Why use it?
It helps security testers measure whether an attacker who compromises one computer could move to other systems using tickets already stored in memory.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

conducting-pass-the-ticket-attack scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Conducting Pass-the-Ticket Attack

Legal Notice: This skill is for authorized security testing and educational purposes only. Unauthorized use against systems you do not own or have written permission to test is illegal and may violate computer fraud laws.

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

Phase 3: Lateral Movement

  1. Access remote systems using the stolen ticket identity
  2. Perform actions as the impersonated user
  3. Collect additional credentials from accessed systems
  4. Document evidence of successful lateral movement

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
