Background Kerberoasting is an attack technique that leverages the Kerberos authentication protocol used by Microsoft Active Directory to extract password hashes from service accounts and crack them offline. The method relies on the presence of Service Principal Names (SPNs) associated with user or computer accounts in AD. When a client

Background The threat landscape has shifted dramatically in 2026, with attackers increasingly leveraging high-severity vulnerabilities to achieve initial footholds and later-stage privilege escalation. The addition of CVE-2026-42208 (BerriAI LiteLLM SQL Injection) and CVE-2026-0300 (PAN-OS out-of-bounds write) to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities registry signals that even seemingly niche software can

The Real Problem A recent wave of high-profile breaches has underscored why Zero Trust cannot be solved with a single product purchase. In early 2026, attackers leveraged CVE‑2026‑41329—a privilege‑escalation flaw in the Microsoft Windows kernel—to move laterally across an enterprise network that had deployed a
