'Identifies contacts with domains names in CommonSecurityLog that might have been generated by a Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA). DGAs can be used by malware to generate rendezvous points that are difficult to predict in advance.
This detection uses the Alexa Top 1 million domain names to build a model of what normal domains look like. It uses this to identify domains that may have been randomly generated by an algorithm.
The triThreshold is set to 500 - increase this to report on domains that are less likely to have been randomly generated, decrease it for more likely.
The start time and end time look back over 6 hours of data and the dgaLengthThreshold is set to 8 - meaning domains whose length is 8 or more are reported.
NOTE - The top1M csv zip file used in the query is dynamic and may produce different results over various time periods. It's important to cross-check the events against the entities involved in the incident.'
