Most Important Detection 2026: Golden Ticket Forged Kerberos TGT Detection
Detects anomalous Kerberos service ticket (TGS) requests or successful logons where the corresponding Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) request (Event ID 4768) is absent within the monitored window. This pattern is a primary indicator of offline-forged Kerberos tickets, such as those generated by Mimikatz, which bypass legitimate KDC interaction for ticket issuance.
