Adversaries may use password cracking to attempt to recover usable credentials, such as plaintext passwords, when credential material such as password hashes are obtained. OS Credential Dumping can be used to obtain password hashes, this may only get an adversary so far when Pass the Hash is not an option. Further, adversaries may leverage Data from Configuration Repository in order to obtain hashed credentials for network devices.(Citation: US CERT TA18 106A)

A public key is the publicly shared component of an asymmetric key pair used for encryption or signature verification.

Adversaries may use PubPrn to proxy execution of malicious remote files. PubPrn.vbs is a Visual Basic script that publishes a printer to Active Directory Domain Services. The script may be signed by Microsoft and is commonly executed through the Windows Command Shell via <code Cscript.exe</code . For example, the following code publishes a printer within the specified domain: <code cscript pubprn Printer1 LDAP://CN=Container1,DC=Domain1,DC=Com</code .(Citation: pubprn)
