The analytic detects headless browser activity accessing mockbin.org or mocky.io. It identifies processes with the "--headless" and "--disable-gpu" command line arguments, along with references to mockbin.org or mocky.io. This behavior is significant as headless browsers are often used for automated tasks, including malicious activities like web scraping or automated attacks. If confirmed malicious, this activity could indicate an attempt to bypass traditional browser security measures, potentially leading to data exfiltration or further exploitation of web applications.
Detects the reconfiguration of a virtual machine where a virtual disk (.vmdk) from a different, often critical, VM is attached. This is a key tactic used by threat actors like UNC3944 to perform offline credential theft by mounting a Domain Controller's disk to a staging VM to access the NTDS.dit file.
This analytic detects the use of Windows command-line copy utilities, such as xcopy, to systematically collect files from user directories and consolidate them into a centralized location on the system. This activity is often indicative of malicious behavior, as threat actors frequently use such commands to gather sensitive information, including documents with .doc, .docx, and .pdf extensions. The detection focuses on identifying recursive copy operations targeting user folders, such as Documents, Desktop, or other directories that commonly store personal or organizational files. Malware that performs this behavior typically attempts to evade detection by using legitimate Windows utilities, executing commands through cmd.exe or other scripting hosts, and writing the collected files to directories like C:\ProgramData or temporary storage locations. Once collected, the information may be staged for exfiltration, used for lateral movement, or leveraged for further compromise of the environment. By monitoring for these types of file collection patterns, security teams can identify suspicious activity early, differentiate between normal administrative tasks and potentially malicious scripts, and prevent sensitive data from being exfiltrated. This analytic is particularly relevant for environments where confidential documents are present and attackers may attempt to harvest them using built-in Windows tools.
Detects the Koi Stealer macOS variant, an infostealer targeting cryptocurrency wallets and sensitive user data. This malware is linked to North Korean threat actors.
This rule detects the creation of specific files named 'spinstall0' within the SharePoint Web Server Extensions template layouts directory. This activity could indicate an attempt to install or modify SharePoint components, potentially for malicious purposes or unauthorized changes.

KQL Query from file: Data Exfiltration via Microsoft Teams

The following analytic identifies anomalous GetObject API activity in AWS, indicating potential data exfiltration attempts. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs and uses the `anomalydetection` command to detect unusual patterns in the frequency of GetObject API calls by analyzing fields such as "count," "user_type," and "user_arn" within a 10-minute window. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized data access or exfiltration from S3 buckets. If confirmed malicious, attackers could exfiltrate sensitive data, leading to data breaches and compliance violations.

'This hunting query will help detect successful sign-ins from devices that are marked non-compliant along with bulk download activity.
Attackers may attempt to get a list of accounts, groups, registration details within an environment which could help in follow-on behavior.
Best practice is to block sign ins from non-complaint devices, however if allowed monitor these events to ensure they do not lead to other risky activity.

The following analytic detects the usage of headless browsers within an organization. It identifies processes containing the "--headless" and "--disable-gpu" command line arguments, which are indicative of headless browsing. This detection leverages data from the Endpoint.Processes datamodel to identify such processes. Monitoring headless browser usage is significant as these tools can be exploited by adversaries for malicious activities like web scraping, automated testing, and undetected web interactions. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized data extraction, automated attacks, or other covert operations on web applications.
