Abstract:
Active Directory is used by more than 90% of Fortune 1000 companies, the all-pervasive AD is the focal point for adversaries. The Kerberos delegation feature in Active Directory (AD) is an impersonation type present since AD was introduced in Windows 2000. This Paper would demonstrate a set of attack scenarios for each type of delegations feature of Active Directory.

This presentation would explain the basics of kerberos authentication protocol, delegation feature with its types and abuse cases for each type. Delegation types :
1. Unconstrained Delegation
2. Constrained Delegation
3. Resource Based Constrained Delegation

The timeline of the presentation is briefed below:

Basics of Kerberos Authentication Protocol:
1.1 What is Kerberos authentication ?
1.2 What is KDC, TGT and TGS ?
1.3 Briefing the authentication flow?
Delegation Process:
2.1 What is Delegation ?
2.2 Briefing the common authentication flow
2.3 Types of Delegation
Unconstrained Delegation:
3.1 Explaining unconstrained delegation along with authentication flow
3.2 Explaining the configuration perspective in the domain controller
3.3 Demo of Abusing Unconstrained Delegation
Constrained Delegation:
4.1 Explaining constrained delegation along with authentication flow
4.2 Explaining the configuration perspective in the domain controller
4.3 Demo of Abusing Constrained Delegation
Resource Based Constrained Delegation:
5.1 Explaining resource based constrained delegation along with authentication flow
5.2 Explaining the configuration perspective in the domain controller
5.3 Demo of Abusing Resource Based Constrained Delegation
