# Forged tickets

Silver and Golden tickets are forged Kerberos tickets that can be used with [pass-the-ticket](broken://pages/WzYZzG0ZhkKkcln8Wb4o) to access services in an Active Directory domain.

* When one of `krbtgt`'s Kerberos keys is known, a [golden ticket](/ad/movement/kerberos/forged-tickets.md#golden-ticket) attack can be conducted to keep privileged access until that account's password is changed.
* Let `service` be an account in charge of various services indicated in its `ServicePrincipalNames` attribute, when one of `service`'s Kerberos keys is known, a [silver ticket](/ad/movement/kerberos/forged-tickets.md#silver-ticket) attack can be conducted to keep privileged access to those managed services until that account's password is changed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://red.infiltr8.io/ad/persistence/kerberos/forged-tickets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
