Silver Tickets

A "silver ticket" is a forged TGS, signed using the secret material (RC4/AES keys) of a computer account. You may forge a TGS for any user to any service on that machine, which is useful for short/medium-term persistence. By default, computer passwords change every 30 days, at which time you must re-obtain the new secrets to continue making silver tickets. Both silver and golden (coming up next) tickets are forged, so can be generated on your own machine and imported into your Beacon session for use.

Let's say we dumped Kerberos keys from Workstation 1 from a SYSTEM Beacon.

On your Windows attacking machine, use Rubeus to forge a TGS for nlamb and the cifs service.
