This rule detects a high volume of remote desktop session changes (logon/logoff) for a single user within a one-hour window. Event IDs 4778 and 4779 indicate a session reconnected or disconnected, respectively. A high count (>=10) could suggest suspicious activity such as session hijacking, rapid reconnections by an attacker, or automated tools interacting with remote sessions.
This rule detects post-VPN discovery or lateral movement activities by monitoring network connections initiated by specific command-line tools. It targets the use of utilities like PowerShell, cmd, net, nltest, adfind, ldapsearch, wmic, or winrs to interact with many internal systems, which could indicate an attacker performing reconnaissance or moving laterally within the network after gaining initial access, potentially via a compromised VPN.
This rule detects an unusual number of local or remote interactive logons (LogonType 2 or 10) by the 'SYSTEM' account within a one-hour window. While the SYSTEM account is legitimate, direct interactive logons are rare and multiple occurrences could indicate an attempt to escalate privileges or maintain persistence by an attacker.
Detects AWS Systems Manager Run Command used for remote code execution on EC2 instances
Detects cloud services being used to move laterally between cloud resources
This rule detects potential lateral movement activities by monitoring for the execution of 'psexec', 'wmiexec', or 'schtasks' commands within a short timeframe on the same computer. A count of 2 or more such command executions within an hour is flagged as suspicious, indicating potential adversary activity.
Identifies inbound remote RPC calls targeting the Remote Registry interface to save registry keys (OpNums 20 and 31). This is frequently abused for remote credential dumping of SAM/LSA secrets.
This rule detects potential lateral movement activity by identifying a single user account attempting to log on to five or more distinct computers with at least ten logon attempts within a five-minute window. It specifically looks for successful logons (EventID 4624) with network, remote interactive, or remote desktop logon types (LogonType 3, 9, 10) and excludes machine accounts (TargetUserName not ending with '$'). This pattern can indicate an adversary attempting to spread across the network using compromised credentials.
This rule detects potential lateral movement attempts originating from IIS web servers (identified by 'w3wp.exe' as the initiating process) to other internal IP addresses using common lateral movement ports (SMB, RDP, WinRM, SSH). It specifically looks for successful network connections from an IIS server to a private IP address on one of the specified ports, where the remote IP is not the local IP.
Detects lateral movement attempts using SMB administrative shares
This rule detects an account performing multiple interactive logons (LogonType 2) from at least 3 unique IP addresses within a 5-minute window. This behavior can indicate credential compromise or an adversary attempting to move laterally or access multiple systems using stolen credentials.
This rule detects a high volume of activity (10 or more events within an hour) to Windows administrative shares (C$, IPC$, ADMIN$) from a single source IP address. This behavior can indicate lateral movement, data exfiltration, or other malicious activity using legitimate administrative functions.
This rule detects a high volume of remote desktop session changes (logon/logoff) for a single user within a one-hour window. Event IDs 4778 and 4779 indicate a session reconnected or disconnected, respectively. A high count (>=10) could suggest suspicious activity such as session hijacking, rapid reconnections by an attacker, or automated tools interacting with remote sessions.
This rule detects a high volume of activity (10 or more events within an hour) to Windows administrative shares (C$, IPC$, ADMIN$) from a single source IP address. This behavior can indicate lateral movement, data exfiltration, or other malicious activity using legitimate administrative functions.
Detects Spring4Shell remote code execution exploitation attempts
This rule detects suspicious access patterns to Windows administrative shares (C$, D$, E$, IPC$, ADMIN$). It specifically looks for multiple access attempts (10 or more within an hour) involving read or write operations (AccessMask contains '0x0001' or '0x0002') from a single source IP address and account. This behavior can indicate lateral movement, data exfiltration, or other malicious activity.
This rule detects suspicious network connections originating from internal IP addresses to common service ports (DNS, SMB, RDP, WinRM) on remote, non-internal IP addresses. It flags instances where a single process on a device makes 10 or more such connections within an hour, which could indicate reconnaissance, lateral movement, or data exfiltration attempts.
This rule detects potential reverse shell command execution by monitoring process creation events (EventID 4688) for specific command-line strings commonly associated with reverse shells. It looks for 'bash -i', '/bin/bash', 'nc -e', and 'powershell -NoP' in the command line.
Detects remote service connections originating from external internet addresses
This rule detects suspicious network connections originating from internal IP addresses to common service ports (DNS, SMB, RDP, WinRM) on remote, non-internal IP addresses. It flags instances where a single process on a device makes 10 or more such connections within an hour, which could indicate reconnaissance, lateral movement, or data exfiltration attempts.
This rule detects a high volume of TCP SYN packets from an external IP address to the internal network, indicative of an attempted remote service access or port scan. Specifically, it triggers if 5 or more TCP SYN packets are observed from the same source IP within a 30-second window, targeting any port on the home network.
