Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During an internal penetration test you gain a SYSTEM shell on a Windows Server 2019 member of an Active Directory domain. Running mimikatz.exe "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" reveals the NTLM hash of a domain administrator. Several file servers in the same subnet have SMB signing disabled. Which technique will let you immediately access those servers without knowing the clear-text password?

  • Launch an LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning attack from the compromised host to capture additional network hashes.

  • Run RID cycling against the domain controller to discover other privileged account SIDs and attempt brute-force logins.

  • Forge a Golden Ticket using the captured hash to generate a long-lived Kerberos ticket granting unlimited domain access.

  • Use Mimikatz to perform a pass-the-hash attack with the administrator's NTLM hash and open an SMB session to the file servers.
