Kerberos


Nmap discovered a KDC server on the target port 88 and 464 The running service is Microsoft Windows Kerberos

While I do not know the naming convention that the target domain uses, I will attempt to enumerate usernames as much as possible by brute-forcing the KDC For efficiency, I will get that running in the background while enumerating other services

I had kerbrute running in the background for awhile and it returned a total of 3 none default users. While these discovered usernames will be saved into a file, I also found an interesting fact Based on the structure of discovered usernames, it appears to follow a specific naming convention.

The suspected naming convention is the first letter of firstname followed by lastname This information maybe used to further extract valid domain users
