Detects DNS-based Kerberos coercion attacks where adversaries inject marshaled credential structures into DNS records to spoof SPNs and redirect authentication such as in CVE-2025-33073. This detection leverages suricata looking for specific CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structures in DNS queries.

Detects modifications to DNS records in Active Directory where the Distinguished Name (DN) contains a base64-encoded blob
matching the pattern "1UWhRCAAAAA...BAAAA". This pattern corresponds to a marshaled CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structure,
commonly used in Kerberos coercion attacks. Adversaries may exploit this to coerce victim systems into authenticating to
attacker-controlled hosts by spoofing SPNs via DNS. It is one of the strong indicators of a Kerberos coercion attack,.
where adversaries manipulate DNS records to spoof Service Principal Names (SPNs) and redirect authentication requests like CVE-2025-33073.
Please investigate the user account that made the changes, as it is likely a low-privileged account that has been compromised.

Detects modifications to DNS records in Active Directory where the Distinguished Name (DN) contains a base64-encoded blob matching a pattern indicative of a marshaled CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structure. This pattern is commonly used in Kerberos coercion attacks where adversaries manipulate DNS records to spoof Service Principal Names (SPNs) and redirect authentication requests, such as in CVE-2025-33073. Investigation should focus on the user account making the changes, as it is likely a compromised low-privileged account.

Detects DNS queries containing patterns associated with Kerberos coercion attacks via DNS object spoofing. The pattern "1UWhRCAAAAA..BAAAA" is a base64-encoded signature that corresponds to a marshaled CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structure. Attackers can use this technique to coerce authentication from victim systems to attacker-controlled hosts. It is one of the strong indicators of a Kerberos coercion attack, where adversaries manipulate DNS records to spoof Service Principal Names (SPNs) and redirect authentication requests like CVE-2025-33073.

Detects the presence of a base64-encoded signature ("UWhRC....AAYBAAAA") in the command line, which corresponds to a marshaled CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structure. This pattern is a strong indicator of a Kerberos coercion attack, where adversaries manipulate DNS records to spoof Service Principal Names (SPNs) and redirect authentication requests, potentially exploiting vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-33073. The rule aims to identify attempts to add spoofed SPNs to DNS records or check for their presence using commands like `nslookup`.

Detects DNS queries containing specific base64-encoded patterns ("UWhRCA" and "BAAAA") that are indicative of Kerberos coercion attacks via DNS object spoofing. This technique involves manipulating DNS records to spoof Service Principal Names (SPNs) and redirect authentication requests, forcing victim systems to authenticate to attacker-controlled hosts. This is a strong indicator of a Kerberos coercion attack, potentially related to vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-33073, where a marshaled CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structure is used.

The pattern "1UWhRCAAAAA..BAAAA" is a base64-encoded signature that corresponds to a marshaled CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structure.
Attackers can use this technique to coerce authentication from victim systems to attacker-controlled hosts.
It is one of the strong indicators of a Kerberos coercion attack, where adversaries manipulate DNS records
to spoof Service Principal Names (SPNs) and redirect authentication requests like in CVE-2025-33073.
If you see this pattern in the command line, it is likely an attempt to add spoofed Service Principal Names (SPNs) to DNS records,
or checking for the presence of such records through the `nslookup` command.
