The following analytic detects the suspicious auditd service stop. This behavior is critical for a SOC to monitor because it may indicate attempts to gain unauthorized access or maintain control over a system. Such actions could be signs of malicious activity. If confirmed, this could lead to serious consequences, including a compromised system, unauthorized access to sensitive data, or even a wider breach affecting the entire network. Detecting and responding to these signs early is essential to prevent potential security incidents.
The analytic detects cloud API calls executed by user roles that have not previously run these commands. It leverages the Change data model in Splunk to identify commands executed by users with the user_type of AssumedRole and a status of success. This activity is significant because new commands from different user roles can indicate potential malicious activity or unauthorized actions. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or other damaging outcomes by exploiting new or unmonitored commands within the cloud environment.
The analytic detects the creation of cloud compute instances using previously unseen image IDs. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs to identify new image IDs that have not been observed before. This activity is significant because it may indicate unauthorized or suspicious activity, such as the deployment of malicious payloads or unauthorized access to sensitive information. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or further compromise of the cloud environment. Immediate investigation is required to determine the legitimacy of the instance creation and to mitigate potential threats.
The following analytic detects the suspicious sysmon service stop. This behavior is critical for a SOC to monitor because it may indicate attempts to gain unauthorized access or maintain control over a system. Such actions could be signs of malicious activity. If confirmed, this could lead to serious consequences, including a compromised system, unauthorized access to sensitive data, or even a wider breach affecting the entire network. Detecting and responding to these signs early is essential to prevent potential security incidents.
Detects strong indicators of a successful device code phishing attack. This rule correlates email events containing Microsoft device login URLs with subsequent Microsoft Entra ID authentication attempts that result in a specific error code (50199 or 0), indicating the user was prompted to confirm the application. The time window for correlation is set to 16 minutes, accounting for the typical 15-minute expiration of device codes.
This analytic detects Lumma Stealer download attempts using Cisco Secure Firewall Intrusion Events. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense IntrusionEvent logs to identify cases where Snort signatures with specific IDs have been triggered. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could indicate an active infection of Lumma Stealer.
Detects strong indicators of a successful device code phishing attack.
This rule detects a significant increase in undeliverable emails for a specific user within a short timeframe. This pattern can indicate that a user's account has been compromised and is being used to send out a large volume of phishing or spam emails, leading to many bounce-back messages. It could also suggest a targeted phishing campaign where the sender's email address is being spoofed, and the legitimate user is receiving the undeliverable notifications.
This analytic aggregates and summarizes alerts from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It extracts details such as source, file name, severity, process command line, IP address, registry key, signature, description, and unique ID. The detection is not intended to identify new activity from raw data but rather to leverage existing Microsoft Defender for Endpoint alerts for correlation and risk-based alerting. It filters out alerts with a 'clean' verdict and dynamically maps MITRE techniques and assigns risk scores based on the alert's severity.
The following analytic detects suspicious calendar invites sent via GSuite, potentially indicating compromised accounts or malicious internal activity. It leverages GSuite calendar logs, focusing on events where a high volume of invites (over 100) is sent within a 5-minute window. This behavior is significant as it may involve the distribution of malicious links or attachments, posing a security risk. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to widespread phishing attacks, unauthorized access, or malware distribution within the organization.
The following analytic identifies when a new device is enrolled on an Okta account. It uses OktaIm2 logs ingested via the Splunk Add-on for Okta Identity Cloud to detect the creation of new device enrollments. This activity is significant as it may indicate a legitimate user settinging up a new device or an adversary adding a device to maintain unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to potential account takeover, unauthorized access, and persistent control over the compromised Okta account. Monitoring this behavior is crucial for detecting and mitigating unauthorized access attempts.
This correlation rule identifies when a user exceeds a predefined risk threshold based on multiple suspicious Okta activities within a 24-hour period. It aggregates risk events from "Suspicious Okta Activity," "Okta Account Takeover," and "Okta MFA Exhaustion" analytic stories. The detection is significant as it highlights potentially compromised user accounts exhibiting multiple tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). If confirmed malicious, this activity could indicate a serious security breach, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, or persist within 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 analytic identifies a single source IP failing to authenticate into Google Workspace with multiple valid users, potentially indicating a Password Spraying attack. It uses Google Workspace login failure events and calculates the standard deviation for source IPs, applying the 3-sigma rule to detect unusual failed authentication attempts. This activity is significant as it may signal an adversary attempting to gain initial access or elevate privileges. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or further exploitation within the environment.
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 analytic detects an Azure AD account with concurrent sessions originating from multiple unique IP addresses within a 5-minute window. It leverages Azure Active Directory NonInteractiveUserSignInLogs to identify this behavior by analyzing successful authentication events and counting distinct source IPs. This activity is significant as it may indicate session hijacking, where an attacker uses stolen session cookies to access corporate resources from a different location. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information and potential data breaches.
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.
