hashcat unable to crack simple kerberos tgs hashes - frustratedcracke - 07-25-2025
Hello! Thanks in advance for the help.
Problem as follows:
1. Trying to crack a Kerberos hash gained via Kerberoasting in my Lab using Impackets GetUserSpns.py
2. Unable to crack with hashcat and john the ripper.
3. The hashes password is: Mypassword123#
4. Made sure password is correct on account.
5. Made sure hash is in passwordlist rockyou.txt
6. Checked command syntax and formatting: hashcat -m 13100 krb.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt
7. Hash is stored in krb.txt, was copied from terminal.
8. Tried to mess with the hash format, no luck.
9. Tried all other kerberos hash cracking modes, don't work.
10. Mode 13100 works but simply doesn't crack it.
11. Hashcat is on newest version 6.2.6
12. Tested on second PC fails as well.
Hash (is from my Test Lab non-critical):

RE: hashcat unable to crack simple kerberos tgs hashes - Chick3nman - 07-26-2025
This doesn't look like a hashcat issue, given that you also mentioned you were unable to crack it with JTR.
4. Made sure password is correct on account.
Are you sure that the password is set and the hash should match for that specific SPN? Have you tried capturing the hash a few more times and trying to crack those? Or perhaps changing the password again and recapturing?

I just double checked the password is the specified one.
I just tried to change it like you said, then changed it back multiple times, was unable to crack either of the very simple passwords. I also rebooted the domain controller. No dice.
Are you able to crack the above specified hash?
I am Kerberoasting an up to date Windows Server 2022, but that should not affect the hash right?
During Kerberoasting i usually run into the following error:
[-] CCache file is not found. Skipping...
[-] Kerberos SessionError: KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW(Clock skew too great)
but i was able to fix this with changing to run and then executing:
“timedatectl set-ntp off”, “rdate -n [IP of Domain Controller]".
Then i get the hash and just copy and paste it into a nano-ed .txt:

Thanks for taking the time to answer my Question.
If it is not a hashcat problem, where do you think does the problem lie?

You can do some debugging with unit tests. So hashcat is not involved at all.
Patch with this:
Code:
diff --git a/tools/test_modules/m13100.pm b/tools/test_modules/m13100.pm
index 85f72f07a..4c3faa5b1 100644

@@ -57,6 +57,8 @@ sub module_generate_hash
my $ticket_decrypt = unpack ("H*", $cipher_decrypt->RC4 (pack ("H*", $edata2)));
+print "$ticket_decrypt\n";
+
my $check_correct = ((substr ($ticket_decrypt, 16, 4) eq "6381" && substr ($ticket_decrypt, 22, 2) eq "30") ||
(substr ($ticket_decrypt, 16, 4) eq "6382")) &&
((substr ($ticket_decrypt, 32, 6) eq "030500") ||And then paste the hash into a file, call it "hash".
Paste it again in another file "crack", and in the second, add a colon and the password to the end of the hash line.
Then you can do this:
