Intent:
- Use MTP capability to look for insider threat potential risk indicators
- Indicators would then serve as the building block for insider threat risk modeling in subsequent tools
Definition of Insider Threat:
"The potential for an individual who has or had authorized access to an organization's assets to use their access, either maliciously or unintentionally, to act in a way that could negatively affect the organization."
This collection of queries describes the different indicators that could be used to model and look for patterns suggesting an increased risk of an individual becoming a potential insider threat.
Note: no single indicator should be used as a lone determinant of insider threat activity, but should be part of an overall program to understand the increased risk to your organization's critical assets. This in turn is used to feed an investigation by a formal insider threat program to look at the context associated with the whole person to understand the implication of a set of indicators.

Snip3 is a family of related remote access trojans. Although the malware in this family contain numerous small variations, they all exhibit similar behaviors and techniques.
The following query looks for network connections using any protocols associated with recent RevengeRAT, AsyncRAT, and other malware campaigns targeting the aviation industry.
This activity is often followed by connections to copy-and-paste sites such as pastebin.com, stikked.ch, academia.edu, and archive.org. Many of these connections will occur on non-standard ports.

'This composite hunting query will highlight any HTTP traffic in CommonSecurityLog web proxies (such as ZScaler) that match known patterns used by red teaming tools potentially stolen from FireEye. Most FireEye red teaming tools are designed to mimic
legitimate API activity, false positives are common. This query includes a basic check to determine how common a hostname is in you environment, and allows you to modify this threshold to remove legitimate traffic from the query results.
This query contains only a subset of potential FireEye red team tool communications, and therefore should not be relied upon alone :) .'

'Threat actors may use tools such as Curl to download additional files, communicate with C2 infrastructure, or exfiltrate data. This query looks for new files being downloaded using Curl. Curl also has legitimate uses files and hosts should be reviewed to identify potentially malicious activity.

LemonDuck is an actively updated and robust malware primarily known for its botnet and cryptocurrency mining objectives. First discovered in 2019, LemonDuck has since adopted more sophisticated behavior and escalated its operations in 2021. Today, beyond using resources for its traditional bot and mining activities, LemonDuck steals credentials, removes security controls, spreads via emails, moves laterally, and ultimately drops more tools for human-operated activity.

This query was originally published in a threat analytics report about the group known to other security researchers as APT32 or OceanLotus
This tracked activity group uses a wide array of malicious documents to conduct attacks. Some of their favored techniques include sideloading dynamic link libraries, and disguising payloads as image files.
The following query detects network activity that may indicate an attack by this group.
See Detect malicious documents associated with group known as "OceanLotus" for another query related to this group's activity.
