Most Popular Detection 2026: Pass-the-Hash Lateral Movement Detection
This rule detects suspicious NTLM network logon events (Logon Type 3) involving privileged accounts that do not have corresponding Kerberos authentication events (4768/4769) in the preceding hour. The detection specifically triggers when a single account logs into two or more distinct hosts within a 15-minute window, which is indicative of lateral movement using compromised credentials or Pass-the-Hash techniques.
