This analytic identifies Snort intrusion signatures that have been triggered by ten or more distinct internal IP addresses within a one-hour window. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs and focuses on the IntrusionEvent event type to detect activity that may indicate broad targeting or mass exploitation attempts. This behavior is often associated with opportunistic scanning, worm propagation, or automated exploitation of known vulnerabilities across multiple systems. If confirmed malicious, this could represent the early phase of a coordinated attack aiming to gain a foothold on several hosts or move laterally across the environment.
The following analytic identifies suspicious command-line parameters associated with the use of Impacket's smbexec.py for lateral movement. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on specific command-line patterns indicative of Impacket tool usage. This activity is significant as both Red Teams and adversaries use Impacket for remote code execution and lateral movement. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to execute commands on remote endpoints, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further compromise of the network.
The following analytic identifies excessive AccessDenied events within an hour timeframe for IAM users in AWS. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to detect multiple failed access attempts from the same source IP and user identity. This activity is significant as it may indicate that an access key has been compromised and is being misused for unauthorized discovery actions. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to gather information about the AWS environment, potentially leading to further exploitation or privilege escalation.
The following analytic detects suspicious database file and directory discovery activities, which may signal an attacker attempt to locate and assess critical database assets on a compromised system. This behavior is often a precursor to data theft, unauthorized access, or privilege escalation, as attackers seek to identify valuable information stored in databases. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized attempts to locate database files and directories, this analytic aids in early detection of potential reconnaissance or data breach efforts, enabling security teams to respond swiftly and mitigate the risk of further compromise.
The analytic identifies AWS console login attempts by users from a new region. It leverages AWS CloudTrail events and compares current login regions against a baseline of previously seen regions for each user. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized access attempts or compromised credentials. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to AWS resources, potentially leading to data breaches, resource manipulation, or further lateral movement within the cloud environment.
This analytic detects file transfers flagged as malware that occurred over non-standard ports (other than 80 and 443) from Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs. Adversaries may attempt to bypass protocol-based detection or use alternate ports to blend in with other traffic. This analytic identifies these non-conventional flows and surfaces potential evasion techniques. If confirmed malicious, this indicates potential malware delivery or other nefarious activity.
The analytic detects path traversal command-line execution, often used in malicious documents to execute code via msdt.exe for defense evasion. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) data, focusing on specific patterns in process paths. This activity is significant as it can indicate an attempt to bypass security controls and execute unauthorized code. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to code execution, privilege escalation, or persistence within the environment, potentially allowing attackers to deploy malware or leverage other living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins).
The following analytic detects `spoolsv.exe` writing a `.dll` file, which is unusual behavior and may indicate exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2021-34527 (PrintNightmare). This detection leverages Sysmon EventID 11 to monitor file creation events in the `\spool\drivers\x64\` directory. This activity is significant because `spoolsv.exe` typically does not write DLL files, and such behavior could signify an ongoing attack. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or maintain persistence on the compromised system.
The following analytic detects a suspicious registry modification aimed at disabling security audit logs by adding a specific registry entry. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, focusing on changes to the "Control\\MiniNt" registry path. This activity is significant because it can prevent Windows from logging any events to the Security Log, effectively blinding security monitoring efforts. If confirmed malicious, this technique could allow an attacker to operate undetected, making it difficult to trace their actions and compromising the integrity of security audits.
This analytic detects the execution of AdvancedRun.exe, a utility that allows users to run programs with different administrative privileges, user accounts, or environment settings. It identifies the process by its name or original file name and flags common command-line arguments often used for configuration or specific execution parameters. Monitoring this activity is crucial as AdvancedRun can be leveraged by attackers for remote code execution, privilege escalation, or maintaining persistence within an environment, similar to tools like PsExec. If used maliciously, it could enable the execution of arbitrary commands or configuration-based automation.
The following analytic detects the use of the .NET compiler csc.exe for on-the-fly compilation of potentially malicious .NET code. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on specific command-line patterns associated with csc.exe. This activity is significant because adversaries and malware often use this technique to evade detection by compiling malicious code at runtime. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to system compromise, data exfiltration, or further lateral movement within the network.
The analytic detects instances of `regsvcs.exe` running without command line arguments. This behavior typically indicates process injection, where another process manipulates `regsvcs.exe`. The detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process names, IDs, and command-line executions. This activity is significant as it may signal an attempt to evade detection and execute malicious code. If confirmed malicious, the attacker could achieve code execution, potentially leading to privilege escalation, persistence, or access to sensitive information.
The following analytic detects the execution of "dsquery.exe" with arguments targeting `TrustedDomain` queries directly from the command line. This behavior is identified using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant as it often indicates domain trust discovery, a common step in lateral movement or privilege escalation by adversaries. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to map domain trusts, potentially leading to further exploitation and unauthorized access to trusted domains.
This analytic detects the execution of the 'shred' command on a Linux machine, which is used to overwrite files to make them unrecoverable. It leverages data from Linux Auditd, focusing on process names and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because the 'shred' command can be used in destructive attacks, such as those seen in the Industroyer2 malware targeting energy facilities. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to the permanent destruction of critical files, severely impacting system integrity and data availability.
The analytic identifies modifications to the registry path .wav\\OpenWithProgIds, associated with the Snake Malware campaign. This activity is significant because Snake's WerFault.exe uses this registry path to decrypt an encrypted blob containing critical components like the AES key, IV, and paths for its kernel driver and loader. If confirmed malicious, this could allow the attacker to load and execute Snake's kernel driver, leading to potential system compromise and persistent access.
Detects Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) authentication failures, which can indicate attempts to brute force BGP peer authentication. Such attacks aim to manipulate routing information, potentially leading to traffic redirection or denial of service.
This rule detects log entries from Juniper BGP services indicating a missing MD5 digest. This condition can be a sign of a brute-force attack attempting to manipulate routing protocols, potentially leading to BGP hijacking or other network disruptions. BGP uses MD5 for authentication to ensure the integrity and authenticity of routing updates between peers. A missing MD5 digest suggests that an unauthenticated or malicious peer is attempting to establish a connection or send updates.
Detects BGP failures which may be indicative of brute force attacks to manipulate routing.
