The detection rule for monitoring the Kerberos Pre-Authentication flag focuses on identifying indications of potential password compromise through Windows Security Event 4738. This event signifies that the UserAccountControl property of a domain user object has been altered, specifically when the flag for requiring pre-authentication is disabled. When this flag is disabled, it can permit malicious actors to execute offline brute-force attacks leveraging the AS-REP Roasting technique. The significance of monitoring this behavior stems from its implications for escalating privileges or maintaining persistence within a targeted system. If this activity is verified as malicious, it may lead to unauthorized access, thereby posing a risk to sensitive information and overall security posture of the system.
