Honeytokens\nprovide high-fidelity detection with near-zero false positives because any interaction\nwith a decoy object is inherently suspicious. In Active Directory:\n\n- **Fake privileged accounts** detect credential dumping (DCSync, NTDS.dit extraction)\n- **Fake SPNs** detect Kerberoasting reconnaissance (TGS requests for nonexistent services)\n- **Decoy GPOs** detect Group Policy Preference password harvesting\n- **Fake BloodHound paths** mislead attackers using graph-based AD analysis\n\n### Key Detection Event IDs\n\n| Event ID | Description | Honeytoken Use |\n|----------|-------------|----------------|\n| 4769 | Kerberos TGS ticket requested | Detect Kerberoast against honey SPN |\n| 4625 | Failed logon attempt | Detect use of fake credentials from decoy GPO |\n| 4662 | Directory service object accessed | Detect DACL read on honeytoken user |\n| 5136 | Directory service object modified | Detect modification of decoy GPO |\n| 5137 | Directory service object created | Detect GPO creation mimicking decoy |\n| 4768 | Kerberos TGT requested | Detect AS-REP roasting of honey account |\n\n### Making Honeytokens Realistic\n\nPer Trimarc Security research, effective honeytokens must appear legitimate:\n\n- **Age the account**: Repurpose old inactive accounts (10-15 year old accounts in\n  similarly aged domains appear authentic)\n- **Set AdminCount=1**: Flags the account as having elevated AD rights, making it\n  an attractive Kerberoasting target\n- **Use realistic naming**: Match organizational naming conventions (svc_sqlbackup,\n  admin.maintenance, svc_exchange_legacy)\n- **Set old password date**: Password age of 10+ years with an SPN looks like a\n  high-value, neglected service account to attackers\n- **Add group memberships**: Place in visible groups like \"Remote Desktop Users\" or\n  a custom \"Backup Operators\" to increase attacker interest\n- **Avoid detection tells**: Attackers check creation date vs. last logon vs.\n  password change date for consistency\n\n## Instructions\n\n### Step 1: Deploy Fake Privileged Admin Account\n\nCreate a honeytoken account that mimics a legacy privileged service account.\n\n```powershell\n# Import the deployment module\nImport-Module .\\scripts\\Deploy-ADHoneytokens.ps1\n\n# Create a honeytoken admin account\n$honeyAdmin = New-HoneytokenAdmin `\n    -SamAccountName \"svc_sqlbackup_legacy\" `\n    -DisplayName \"SQL Backup Service (Legacy)\" `\n    -Description \"Legacy SQL Server backup service account - DO NOT DELETE\" `\n    -OU \"OU=Service Accounts,DC=corp,DC=example,DC=com\" `\n    -PasswordLength 128 `\n    -SetAdminCount $true\n\nWrite-Host \"Honeytoken admin created: $($honeyAdmin.DistinguishedName)\"\n```\n\n### Step 2: Deploy Fake SPN for Kerberoasting Detection\n\nAssign a realistic but fake SPN to the honeytoken account. Any TGS request\nfor this SPN is definitively malicious (honeyroasting).\n\n```powershell\n# Add fake SPN to honeytoken account\n$honeySPN = Add-HoneytokenSPN `\n    -SamAccountName \"svc_sqlbackup_legacy\" `\n    -ServiceClass \"MSSQLSvc\" `\n    -Hostname \"sql-legacy-bak01.corp.example.com\" `\n    -Port 1433\n\nWrite-Host \"Honey SPN registered: $($honeySPN.SPN)\"\nWrite-Host \"Monitor Event ID 4769 for TGS requests targeting this SPN\"\n```\n\n### Step 3: Deploy Decoy GPO with Credential Trap\n\nCreate a fake GPO in SYSVOL with an embedded cpassword (Group Policy Preference\npassword). Attackers using tools like Get-GPPPassword or gpp-decrypt will find\nand attempt to use these credentials, triggering detection.\n\n```powershell\n# Create decoy GPO with cpassword trap\n$decoyGPO = New-DecoyGPO `\n    -GPOName \"Server Maintenance Policy (Legacy)\" `\n    -DecoyUsername \"admin_maintenance\" `\n    -DecoyDomain \"CORP\" `\n    -SYSVOLPath \"\\\\corp.example.com\\SYSVOL\\corp.example.com\\Policies\" `\n    -EnableAuditSACL $true\n\nWrite-Host \"Decoy GPO created: $($decoyGPO.GPOGuid)\"\nWrite-Host \"SACL audit enabled - any read attempt will generate Event ID 4663\"\n```\n\n### Step 4: Create Deceptive BloodHound Paths\n\nSet ACL permissions that create fake attack paths visible to BloodHound/SharpHound\nreconnaissance, leading attackers toward monitored honeytokens.\n\n```powershell\n# Create fake BloodHound attack path\n$deceptivePath = New-DeceptiveBloodHoundPath `\n    -HoneytokenSamAccount \"svc_sqlbackup_legacy\" `\n    -TargetHighValueGroup \"Domain Admins\" `\n    -IntermediateOU \"OU=Service Accounts,DC=corp,DC=example,DC=com\"\n\nWrite-Host \"Deceptive path created: $($deceptivePath.PathDescription)\"\n```\n\n### Step 5: Configure Detection Rules\n\nSet up SIEM detection rules to alert on any honeytoken interaction.\n\n```python\n# Using the Python detection agent\nfrom agent import ADHoneytokenMonitor\n\nmonitor = ADHoneytokenMonitor(config_path=\"honeytoken_config.json\")\n\n# Register all honeytokens for monitoring\nmonitor.register_honeytoken(\"svc_sqlbackup_legacy\", token_type=\"admin_account\")\nmonitor.register_honeytoken(\"MSSQLSvc/sql-legacy-bak01.corp.example.com:1433\", token_type=\"spn\")\nmonitor.register_honeytoken(\"admin_maintenance\", token_type=\"gpo_credential\")\n\n# Generate SIEM detection rules\nsplunk_rules = monitor.generate_detection_rules(siem=\"splunk\")\nsentinel_rules = monitor.generate_detection_rules(siem=\"sentinel\")\nsigma_rules = monitor.generate_detection_rules(siem=\"sigma\")\n\nfor rule in sigma_rules:\n    print(f\"Rule: {rule['title']}\")\n    print(f\"  Detection: {rule['detection_logic']}\")\n```\n\n### Step 6: Validate Deployment\n\nTest the honeytokens to ensure detection fires correctly.\n\n```powershell\n# Validate honeytoken deployment\n$validation = Test-HoneytokenDeployment `\n    -SamAccountName \"svc_sqlbackup_legacy\" `\n    -ValidateAdminCount `\n    -ValidateSPN `\n    -ValidateGPODecoy `\n    -ValidateAuditPolicy\n\n$validation | Format-Table Check, Status, Details -AutoSize\n```\n\n## Examples\n\n### Full Deployment Pipeline\n\n```powershell\nImport-Module .\\scripts\\Deploy-ADHoneytokens.ps1\n\n# Deploy complete honeytoken suite\n$deployment = Deploy-FullHoneytokenSuite `\n    -Environment \"Production\" `\n    -ServiceAccountOU \"OU=Service Accounts,DC=corp,DC=example,DC=com\" `\n    -SYSVOLPath \"\\\\corp.example.com\\SYSVOL\\corp.example.com\\Policies\" `\n    -TokenCount 3 `\n    -IncludeSPN $true `\n    -IncludeGPODecoy $true `\n    -IncludeBloodHoundPath $true `\n    -SIEMType \"Splunk\"\n\n# Output deployment report\n$deployment.Tokens | Format-Table Name, Type, SPN, DetectionRule -AutoSize\n$deployment | Export-Csv \"honeytoken_deployment_report.csv\" -NoTypeInformation\n```\n\n### Kerberoasting Detection Query (Splunk)\n\n```spl\nindex=wineventlog EventCode=4769 ServiceName=\"svc_sqlbackup_legacy\"\n| eval alert_severity=\"critical\"\n| eval alert_type=\"honeytoken_kerberoast\"\n| table _time, src_ip, Account_Name, ServiceName, Ticket_Encryption_Type\n| sort - _time\n```\n\n### Microsoft Sentinel KQL Detection\n\n```kql\nSecurityEvent\n| where EventID == 4769\n| where ServiceName in (\"svc_sqlbackup_legacy\", \"svc_exchange_legacy\")\n| extend AlertType = \"Honeytoken Kerberoast Detected\"\n| project TimeGenerated, Computer, Account, ServiceName, IpAddress, TicketEncryptionType\n```\n\n## References\n\n- Trimarc Security -
