Detects potential unauthorized or suspicious configuration changes related to packet sniffer objects and associated authentication or management ports on FortiGate firewalls across multiple devices.

Detects potential unauthorized or suspicious configuration changes related to packet sniffer objects and associated authentication or management ports on FortiGate firewalls across multiple devices.
Sweeps endpoint and firewall telemetry for connections to the two high-confidence BraZetsu infrastructure IPs. Review hits against the IP's first-seen date before blocking because the Njalla host has changed service.
The following analytic detects file downloads that were classified as malware by Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense. It relies on the `SHA_Disposition` field with a value of "Malware" and includes metadata such as file name, file_hash hash, and threat classification. This analytic is critical for surfacing file-based threats that are identified via Cisco's AMP or Threat Grid integrations. If confirmed malicious, this could indicate delivery of malware.
Detects clusters of high-volume external source IPs from multiple countries sweeping the same financial web services within an hour.
The following analytic detects instances where network traffic, identified by port and transport layer protocol as prohibited in the "lookup_interesting_ports" table, is allowed.
It uses the Network_Traffic data model to cross-reference traffic data against predefined security policies.
This activity is significant for a SOC as it highlights potential misconfigurations or policy violations that could lead to unauthorized access or data exfiltration.
If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to bypass network defenses, leading to potential data breaches and compromising the organization's security posture.

This rule monitors for Cisco ASA/FTD device logs indicating an unexpected process crash (e.g., 'crashinfo', 'Traceback', 'decode-CF process restart') in conjunction with logs related to WebVPN activity or malformed HTTP requests. This pattern is indicative of potential exploitation attempts against the Cisco WebVPN service, such as those targeting CVE-2026-20349.
Detects clusters of high-volume external source IPs from multiple countries sweeping the same financial web services within an hour.
Detects clusters of high-volume external source IPs from multiple countries sweeping the same financial web services within an hour.
Detects potential reconnaissance or port scanning activities against firewall or UTM management interfaces from external IP addresses. The rule identifies sources that trigger a high volume of blocked or denied attempts across multiple management ports (e.g., SSH, HTTP/S, GUI ports) within a one-hour window.
Detects inbound network connections to NetScaler ADC management console interfaces (nsconfig, NetScaler AAA) from untrusted, external IP addresses. This rule identifies internet-facing exposure of critical management infrastructure, which is a common prerequisite for exploiting vulnerabilities such as CVE-2026-88771.
Detects potential reconnaissance or port scanning activities against firewall or UTM management interfaces from external IP addresses. The rule identifies sources that trigger a high volume of blocked or denied attempts across multiple management ports (e.g., SSH, HTTP/S, GUI ports) within a one-hour window.
This rule performs a point-in-time IOC hunt within CommonSecurityLog data to detect indicators associated with NeedyMantis. It monitors for specific C2 infrastructure domains ('tripswithengine.com') and a hardcoded user-agent string ('Firefox/21.0') in proxy, firewall, or network logs, which are characteristic of this threat actor's activity.
The following analytic detects the use of known suspicious SSL certificates in any observed event where the SSL_CertFingerprint field is present. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall logs and compares the SSL certificate SHA1 fingerprint against a blacklist of certificates associated with malware distribution, command and control (C2) infrastructure, or phishing campaigns. This activity is significant as adversaries often reuse or self-sign certificates across malicious infrastructure, allowing defenders to track and detect encrypted sessions even when domains or IPs change. If confirmed malicious, this may indicate beaconing, malware download, or data exfiltration over TLS/SSL.
The following analytic detects file transfers flagged as malware that occurred over non-standard ports (other than 80 and 443). Adversaries may attempt to bypass protocol-based detection or use alternate ports to blend in with other traffic. This analytic identifies these non-conventional flows and surfaces potential evasion techniques. If confirmed malicious this indicate potential malware delivery or other nefarious activity.
The following analytic detects repeated malware file downloads initiated by the same internal host (src) within a short time window. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs and identifies `FileEvent` events with a `SHA_Disposition` of "Malware" and `FileDirection` set to "Download". If ten or more such events occur from the same host within five minutes, this analytic will trigger. This activity may indicate the host is compromised and repeatedly retrieving malicious content either due to command-and-control, malware staging, or automation. If confirmed malicious, this behavior may represent an infection in progress, persistence mechanism, or a malicious downloader.
Detects potential reconnaissance or port scanning activities against firewall or UTM management interfaces from external IP addresses. The rule identifies sources that trigger a high volume of blocked or denied attempts across multiple management ports (e.g., SSH, HTTP/S, GUI ports) within a one-hour window.
This rule monitors network appliance logs (Fortinet, Cisco, Meraki, WatchGuard, Sophos) for patterns associated with known vulnerabilities, including authentication bypass (CVE-2022-40684), SQL injection, path traversal, and command injection attempts within URL parameters. It also flags high-severity IPS/IDS alerts generated by these devices.
This rule identifies potential brute force or password spraying attacks against network edge devices, such as firewalls and VPN gateways. It aggregates authentication failures and denied connection attempts by source IP address. The rule differentiates between brute force attacks, characterized by a high volume of failed attempts against one or more users from a single source, and password spraying, indicated by multiple unique usernames failing authentication from the same source.
