Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During an internal penetration test you compromise a Windows workstation and, with Responder, capture the domain administrator's NTLMv2 hash over SMB. Cracking the hash is unlikely to succeed before the engagement ends, but the environment still allows NTLM authentication. Which technique will let you open an interactive shell on another domain-joined server without first recovering the clear-text password?

  • Forge a Golden Ticket for the administrator by generating a counterfeit krbtgt ticket and injecting it into your session.

  • Use a pass-the-hash attack with an SMB execution tool such as Impacket's psexec.py to authenticate using the captured NTLM hash.

  • Request and crack the administrator's service tickets through Kerberoasting, then reuse the recovered keys to log in.

  • Conduct a password-spraying campaign across domain hosts with the administrator username and a shortlist of common passwords.
