Perform Pass-the-Ticket (PtT) lateral movement by extracting Kerberos TGT/TGS tickets from LSASS memory on a compromised host and injecting them into another session to impersonate the ticket owner without knowing their password. Use during authorized post-exploitation to move laterally or escalate access via stolen Kerberos tickets, or to validate detections for Kerberos ticket theft and reuse.

# Conducting Pass-the-Ticket Attack
> **Legal Notice:** This skill is for authorized security testing and educational purposes only. Unauthorized use against systems you do not own or have written permission to test is illegal and may violate computer fraud laws.
## Overview
Pass-the-Ticket (PtT) is a lateral movement technique that uses stolen Kerberos tickets (TGT or TGS) to authenticate to services without knowing the user's password. By extracting Kerberos tickets from memory (LSASS) on a compromised host, an attacker can inject those tickets into their own session to impersonate the ticket owner and access resources as that user.
## When to Use
- When conducting security assessments that involve conducting pass the ticket attack
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
