Beschreibung
Was dies ist, in Kürze.
Detects PowerShell scripts that utilize native PowerShell Identity modules to request Kerberos tickets. This behavior is typically seen during a Kerberoasting or silver ticket attack. A TGS request is issued by the KerberosRequestorSecurityToken constructor, resulting tickets are cached in LSA and become extractable by other tools later on.
