Summary0009568: kerbeus - 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.

  • Name: kerbeus
  • Upstream source: https://github.com/bI8d0/kerbeus

I've regained access to my account at https://github.com/bI8d0/kerbeus Sorry for the confusion—GitHub's automated abuse system had blocked my account, but they've restored it without any issues.

Hello,

Thanks for your submission. We can’t package every infosec tool, so we prioritize those with wider adoption and community usage.

Best of luck with your project.
