This analytic identifies potential privilege escalation activities within an organization's Active Directory (AD) environment by correlating multiple analytics from the "Active Directory Privilege Escalation" analytic story within a specified time frame. This is significant for a SOC as it helps identify coordinated attempts to gain elevated privileges, which could indicate a serious security threat. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data, leading to potential data breaches and further compromise of the network.
The analytic detects multiple CrowdStrike LOW severity alerts originating from the same endpoint, indicating a series of minor suspicious activities or policy violations. Specifically, it triggers when an endpoint generates three or more distinct types of LOW severity alerts. These alerts are not immediately critical but should be reviewed to prevent potential threats. They often highlight unusual behavior or low-level risks that, if left unchecked, could escalate into more significant security issues. Regular monitoring and analysis of these alerts are essential for maintaining robust security, as a cluster of different low-severity events can be an early indicator of a more significant compromise or an adversary's reconnaissance activities.
The analytic detects cloud provisioning activities originating from previously unseen regions. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs to identify events where resources are started or created, and cross-references these with a baseline of known regions. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized access or misuse of cloud resources from unfamiliar locations. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized resource creation, potential data exfiltration, or further compromise of cloud infrastructure.
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.
This analytic detects previously unseen processes within the Kubernetes environment on master or worker nodes. It leverages process metrics collected via an OTEL collector and hostmetrics receiver, with data pulled from Splunk Observability Cloud. The detection compares processes observed in the last hour against those seen in the previous 30 days. Identifying new processes is crucial as they may indicate unauthorized activity or attempts to compromise the node. If confirmed malicious, these processes could lead to data exfiltration, privilege escalation, denial-of-service attacks, or the introduction of malware, posing significant risks to the Kubernetes cluster.
The analytic identifies potential exploitation of Log4Shell CVE-2021-44228 by correlating multiple MITRE ATT&CK tactics detected in risk events. It leverages Splunk's risk data model to calculate the distinct count of MITRE ATT&CK tactics from Log4Shell-related detections. This activity is significant because it indicates a high probability of exploitation if two or more distinct tactics are observed. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to initial payload delivery, callback to a malicious server, and post-exploitation activities, potentially resulting in unauthorized access, lateral movement, and further compromise of the affected systems.
The search surfaces alerts from the Cisco AI Defense product for potential attacks against the AI models running in your environment. This analytic identifies security events within Cisco AI Defense by examining event messages, actions, and policy names. It focuses on connections and applications associated with specific guardrail entities and ruleset types. By aggregating and analyzing these elements, the search helps detect potential policy violations and security threats, enabling proactive defense measures and ensuring network integrity.
The following analytic detects the use of Regsvr32.exe to register DLLs from suspicious paths such as AppData, ProgramData, or Windows Temp directories. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process execution logs and command-line arguments. This activity is significant because Regsvr32.exe can be abused to proxy execution of malicious code, bypassing traditional security controls. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to system compromise, data exfiltration, or further lateral movement within the network.
This analytic identifies an unusual number of failed authentication attempts to the AWS Console originating from a single source IP address, targeting multiple valid user accounts. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs and statistical analysis (3-sigma rule) to detect anomalies in failed login attempts. This behavior is indicative of a password spraying attack, where an adversary attempts to gain initial access or elevate privileges by trying a single password against many accounts. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or further compromise of the AWS environment.
The following analytic detects cloud provisioning activities originating from previously unseen IP addresses. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs to identify events where resources are created or started, and cross-references these with a baseline of known IP addresses. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized access or potential misuse of cloud resources. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain unauthorized control over cloud resources, leading to data breaches, service disruptions, or increased operational costs.
The following analytic identifies instances where four or more distinct detection analytics are associated with malicious command line behavior on a specific host. This detection leverages the Command Line Interface (CLI) data from various sources to identify suspicious activities. This behavior is significant as it often indicates attempts to execute malicious commands, access sensitive data, install backdoors, or perform other nefarious actions. If confirmed malicious, attackers could gain unauthorized control, exfiltrate information, escalate privileges, or launch further attacks within the network, leading to severe compromise.
The following analytic detects the deletion of AWS Network Access Control Lists (ACLs). It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to identify events where a user deletes a network ACL entry. This activity is significant because deleting a network ACL can remove critical access restrictions, potentially allowing unauthorized access to cloud instances. If confirmed malicious, this action could enable attackers to bypass network security controls, leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further compromise of the cloud environment.
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.
The following analytic detects multiple failed attempts to assume an AWS IAM role, indicating a potential brute force attack. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to identify `MalformedPolicyDocumentException` errors with a status of `failure` and filters out legitimate AWS services. This activity is significant as repeated failures to assume roles can indicate an adversary attempting to guess role names, which is a precursor to unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access to AWS resources, potentially compromising sensitive data and services.
The analytic identifies AWS console login events by users from a new city within the last hour. It leverages AWS CloudTrail events and compares them against a lookup file of previously seen user locations. This activity is significant for a SOC as it may indicate unauthorized access or credential compromise, especially if the login originates from an unusual location. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access to AWS resources, data exfiltration, or further exploitation within the cloud environment.
This analytic identifies when a malicious file is detected within the Microsoft Office 365 ecosystem by the Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) engine. Attackers often stage and execute malicious files from within cloud environments like Office 365. Monitoring detections from built-in Office 365 capabilities, such as those enhanced by Safe Attachments and Safe Links, is crucial for identifying and responding to threats.
The analytic detects an Azure AD account successfully authenticating from multiple unique IP addresses within a 30-minute window. It leverages Azure AD SignInLogs to identify instances where the same user logs in from different IPs in a short time frame. This behavior is significant as it may indicate compromised credentials being used by an adversary, potentially following a phishing attack. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow unauthorized access to corporate resources, leading to data breaches or further exploitation within the network.
The analytic identifies successful access to an S3 bucket from a new or previously unseen remote IP address. This activity is significant because access from unfamiliar IP addresses could indicate unauthorized access or potential data exfiltration attempts. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized data access, data theft, or further exploitation of the compromised S3 bucket, posing a significant risk to sensitive information stored within the bucket.
The analytic detects the creation of a Kubernetes NodePort service, which exposes a service to the external network. It identifies this activity by monitoring Kubernetes Audit logs for the creation of NodePort services. This behavior is significant for a SOC as it could allow an attacker to access internal services, posing a threat to the Kubernetes infrastructure's integrity and security. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to data breaches, service disruptions, or unauthorized access to sensitive information.
The following analytic detects the execution of the `Find-LocalAdminAccess` cmdlet using PowerShell Script Block Logging (EventCode=4104). This cmdlet is part of PowerView, a toolkit for Windows domain enumeration. Identifying the use of `Find-LocalAdminAccess` is crucial as adversaries may use it to find machines where the current user has local administrator access, facilitating lateral movement or privilege escalation. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to target and compromise additional systems within the network, significantly increasing their control and access to sensitive information.
