  • Kerberos explained in easy to understand terms with intuitive diagrams. Starting with a high-level overview and then a deep dive into all the messages that are passed between the User, Authentication Server, Ticket Granting Server and the Service. Including the contents of messages, Authenticators, the encryption used and the validation that is performed to achieve mutual authentication.

    The way you speak is absolutely amazing. Slow, steady, and with pauses in just the right places to allow for complete comprehension. So many videos breeze through information too quickly, requiring back-tracking and frequent pauses. The way it's done here is fantastic!

      Same feelings here, came from another top rated video here, which seemed good, but the person there was apparently trying to prepare for some speed rap battle. The visuals are really nice here, too :)

      @@destcert Thank you very much for your video! You explain Kerberos fantastically and I'm using this video for my upcoming exam. I'd like to ask you if you could post the full Kerberos protocol diagram from 14:32 since it is too small to take a print screen and, I believe, many of us would really appreciate it!

    After 7 tries to understand this, in my current class, and 2 other videos, I came across this video. It was the most straight forward and useful example of this system in function I've found. Thank you for making this!

    I've watched many videos on Kerberos and this is the best one I've found so far. Thorough, easy to follow, and relatively short. By the way, having the whole diagram at 14:32 would be super useful. It'd be great if you could publish it as an image or a PDF.

  • @GSAUS
    @GSAUS Před rokem +8

    I've watched half a dozen videos on Kerberos and this was by far the easiest to grasp. Your in-depth explanation of the way the system works was easier to follow than a lot of other "simple" explanations that limit themselves to the high level view. Thank you.

    I recall researching Kerberos a few years ago. This video is mind-blowingly than anything I found back then. Thank you!

  • @charlescc2
    @charlescc2 Před rokem +1

    Details of the Kerberos process as taught in my class resource made no sense no matter how many times I read them. Thank you for breaking it down so eloquently (my class resource failed to make clear the TGS was including a second (service) session key). Your presentation was a lifesaver.

  • @wasbear1098
    @wasbear1098 Před rokem +1

    Finally, an actual explanation how Kerberos works technically. I've had to read through so many websites "explaining" how it works by simply saying "the user authenticates to the AS" and throwing around terms like TGT, AS, KDC etc. Thanks for this excellent video!

  • @orsa6032
    @orsa6032 Před 3 lety +7

    Amazing video! never have I seen someone explaining Kerberos in that smooth and elegant way. Great amazing job!

  • @shortmotivator8238
    @shortmotivator8238 Před 3 lety +16

    Thank you Rob !!! This is so far the best explanation. I loved the deeper dive of the message exchange. I paused at every step and took down notes . At the end , when the entire life-cycle of the message exchange was depicted stitched together, I started feeling more connected and confident that I can grasp the concept. Thanks a ton !

  • @JohnSmith-he5xg
    @JohnSmith-he5xg Před 2 lety +1

    It seemed like there was a competition on CZcams to explain Kerberos as poorly as possible.
    So glad I found your video (which is clear, detailed, and well diagramed (not some guy reading off rambling sentences while a static image sits there...))

  • @cubemasterzero
    @cubemasterzero Před měsícem

    That was the first Kerberos explanation I was able to follow which I believe contained most of the pertinent information. Thanks so much. I particularly appreciated the extra visual detail, with wrappers showing which key encrypted which message. Though I still paused and replayed many parts to let it sink in, it was excellent, and I think I finally have a simple working understanding beyond "a bunch of tickets fly around and then I get in".

    Holy smokes, this is the best video over kerberos I have seen. The quick, concise pacing was awesome. I had to go back and replay sections multiple times to get my thoughts and notes right, but at this point I understand Kerberos more than I ever have.
    A video explaining when each of these happens in a Windows endpoint would be greatly appreciated. Also, how does it behave when a Windows domain joined client user logs into a workstation with cached credentials, but yet does not have direct LoS to a KDC. What would happen then if the user logs in and regains LoS to a KDC.
