RFC 4120 specifies the format of Kerberos messages.

The Kerberos 5 protocol is built on top of ASN.1 DER, so to interpret
raw Kerberos requests, you will also need to consult ITU documents such as:

http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/languages/X.690-0207.pdf

The second link, which defines DER, is probably more immediately
relevant, but you may also need to refer to the first link, which
defines ASN.1 in general.  Although you are likely to run across it,
avoid the "Layman's Guide" as it is not entirely accurate.
