A Silver Ticket attack forges a Kerberos service ticket using a service account hash to impersonate users for a specific service without touching the DC.
Silver Ticket Attack Definition: A Silver Ticket attack forges a Kerberos service ticket using a service account hash to impersonate users for a specific service without touching the DC.
A Silver Ticket attack is a Kerberos abuse technique in which an attacker who has obtained the NTLM hash of a service account forges a Ticket Granting Service ticket to impersonate any user when accessing that specific service. Unlike a Golden Ticket, which forges Ticket Granting Tickets using the krbtgt account hash and grants domain-wide access, a Silver Ticket is scoped to a single service and never contacts the domain controller, making it stealthier and harder to detect.
