When using smartbrute with Kerberos authentication, smartbrute tries to look up the KDC hostname (
get_machine_name()), which it requires to construct the SPN, via SMB anonymous login. This leads to an unhandled exception in environments where NTLM authentication is disabled. I added a command line argument--dc-hostto specify the KDC host directly, eliminating the lookup via SMB. This is similar to the approach taken in some impacket example scripts.While I was at it, I also fixed a small bug and added a hint to use
--use-ldapswhen Kerberos login over plain LDAP fails.
