Summary0009568: Request to Include Kerberos AS-REQ & AS-REP Sniffer in the Kali Linux Repositories
Description

Hello Kali Linux Team,

kerbeus is a Linux-focused command-line tool written in Go that selects a network interface (automatically, or via a user-provided interface name) and starts a packet capture workflow. Its goal is to help security practitioners and lab environments observe and analyze network traffic during troubleshooting and authorized assessments. The tool provides a simple entry point to initiate capture from the chosen interface and presents basic runtime output to the user.

Kerberos AS-REQ & AS-REP Sniffer for security analysis Kerbeus is a specialized packet sniffer for capturing and analyzing Kerberos authentication traffic. It correlates AS-REQ and AS-REP messages to extract Pre-Authentication hashes that can be used for offline password cracking.
