Description

This module will test Kerberos logins on a range of machines and
report successful logins. If you have loaded a database plugin
and connected to a database this module will record successful
logins and hosts so you can track your access.

Kerberos accounts which do not require pre-authentication will
have the TGT logged for offline cracking, this technique is known as AS-REP Roasting.

It is also able to identify whether user accounts are enabled or
disabled/locked out.
