1,235 detections

Detects any authentication attempt against a Smokescreen decoy asset. Decoys are not
published in directories, hold no business function and are never referenced by
legitimate automation, so an authentication attempt is attacker activity by definition
rather than something requiring interpretation.

This is the highest-signal, lowest-noise detection available on any log source: there
is no benign path to a decoy login.

Onboarding: SMOKESCREEN is ingested via Syslog (CEF) (Bloo extractor 206).
Integration guide: https://bloo.io/docs/hypercloud/syslog-connector

BQL (Bloo Query Language):

stream=authentication where sourcename='SMOKESCREEN' and action='LOGIN'
| groupby user, srcip, authproto

Detects a privileged database login brokered through Arcon ARCOS from a source
address without prior history. ARCOS sits in front of database administrative access,
so it observes privileged DB sessions that database-native auditing often misses
entirely.

The extractor exposes a deliberately narrow field set — user, source address and
authentication protocol — so this detection is intentionally simple.

Onboarding: ARCOS-DBEVT is ingested via RDBMS Log Shipper (Bloo extractor 225).
Integration guide: https://bloo.io/docs/integrations

BQL (Bloo Query Language):

stream=authentication where sourcename='ARCOS-DBEVT' and action='LOGIN'

Detects external inbound FortiGate Fabric Management Protocol (FGFM) traffic on TCP port 541 followed by a FortiGateCloud administrative configuration download, backup, or running-config event on the same FortiGate device within a one-hour window, potentially indicating unauthorized configuration access or device compromise.

Lists accounts that still sign in successfully with Authenticated SMTP over the last 30 days. Microsoft plans to disable Basic auth for SMTP AUTH by default for existing tenants at the end of December 2026.

Rows come from SigninLogs and AADNonInteractiveUserSignInLogs, grouped per account with source IP count, apps and first and last seen.

Triage: Find the owner of each account, then move the sender to OAuth or a mail relay before the change. Inventory query, not an alert.

Limitations: Covers only sign-ins that reach the logs. Cross check with the Exchange admin center SMTP AUTH Clients Submission Report, which keeps 90 days.

Detects authentication to the BIG-IP management interface. These interfaces should
be reachable only from a management network; a login from anywhere else indicates
either an exposure that should not exist or an attacker who has already reached the
management plane.

Onboarding: F5BIGIP is ingested via Syslog (Bloo extractor 81).
Integration guide: https://bloo.io/docs/hypercloud/syslog-connector

BQL (Bloo Query Language):

stream=authentication where sourcename='F5BIGIP' and action='LOGIN'

Detects use of a credential seeded by the deception platform. Decoy credentials are
planted where an intruder will find them — in memory, in config files, in browser
stores — and are never issued to a person, so any use proves both that credential
theft occurred and that the attacker has begun using what they stole.

The source address on the use tells you where the attacker is operating from, which
is usually a host you did not yet know was involved.

Onboarding: SMOKESCREEN is ingested via Syslog (CEF) (Bloo extractor 206).
Integration guide: https://bloo.io/docs/hypercloud/syslog-connector

BQL (Bloo Query Language):

stream=threat where sourcename='SMOKESCREEN' and action='THREAT_DETECTED'
and user != ''

Detects retrieval of a privileged credential from the PAM360 vault outside normal
working hours. Credential checkout is the moment privileged access actually begins,
and an out-of-hours retrieval with no corresponding change ticket is the earliest
reliable indicator of vault misuse.

Tune the window to the customer's working pattern before deployment; a global estate
will need per-region hours rather than a single range.

Onboarding: PAM360 is ingested via Syslog (Bloo extractor 879).
Integration guide: https://bloo.io/docs/hypercloud/syslog-connector

BQL (Bloo Query Language):

stream=iam where sourcename='PAM360' and action='PASSWORD_RETRIEVED'
| groupby user, targetuser, srcip, role

Detects a successful device-code sign-in whose session is replayed successfully within 60 minutes from a different IP and ASN. Only successful replays count (interrupt codes removed) and Microsoft first-party ASN egress is excluded.

This rule monitors Entra ID Sign-in logs for authentication events flagged by risk detections related to anonymizing infrastructure, such as VPNs, TOR exit nodes, or proxies. It identifies successful logins and aggregate sign-in volume from these IP addresses, flagging successful logins as critical due to the potential for valid account abuse through multi-hop proxy chains.

Detects scenarios where a user's password is reset or sessions are revoked in Azure Active Directory, followed closely by mailbox access (items accessed, sent, or deleted) from a client IP address that was never seen interacting with that mailbox prior to the password reset event.

Behavioral hunt for accounts whose non-interactive sign-ins over 30 days are dominated (>=95%) by a single IP using a scripted client (python/aiohttp/httpx/urllib) with no browser. Scripted now requires BOTH no browser AND a scripted user agent, and Microsoft ASN egress is excluded.

Detects anomalous sign-in activity for users by comparing current successful login attempts against a 14-day historical baseline. The rule flags logins originating from new IP addresses, new applications, or new geographic locations, specifically identifying instances where at least two of these parameters deviate from the established historical norm for the specific user.
