This detects attempts to manipulate audit policies using auditpol command.
This technique was seen in relation to Solorigate attack but the results can indicate potential malicious activity used in different attacks.
The process name in each data source is commented out as an adversary could rename it. It is advisable to keep process name commented but if the results show unrelated false positives, users may want to uncomment it.
Refer to auditpol syntax: https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/auditpol
Refer to our M365 blog for details on use during the Solorigate attack:

This query detects attempts to add attacker devices as allowed IDs for active sync using the Set-CASMailbox command.
This technique was seen in relation to Solorigate attack but the results can indicate potential malicious activity used in different attacks.
- Note that this query can be changed to use the KQL "has_all" operator, which hasn't yet been documented officially, but will be soon.
In short, "has_all" will only match when the referenced field has all strings in the list.
- Refer to Set-CASMailbox syntax: https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/exchange/set-casmailbox?view=exchange-ps

'This query looks for messages related to file downloads of suspicious file types on an Exchange Server. This could indicate attempted deployment of webshells.
This query uses the Exchange HttpProxy AOBGeneratorLog, you will need to onboard this log as a custom log under the table http_proxy_oab_CL before using this query.
This log is commonly found at C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Logging\OABGeneratorLog on the Exchange server. Details on collecting custom logs into Sentinel
can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/sentinel/connect-custom-logs

Snip3 is a family of related remote access trojans. Although the malware in this family contain numerous small variations, they all exhibit similar behaviors and techniques.
The following query looks for network connections using any protocols associated with recent RevengeRAT, AsyncRAT, and other malware campaigns targeting the aviation industry.
This activity is often followed by connections to copy-and-paste sites such as pastebin.com, stikked.ch, academia.edu, and archive.org. Many of these connections will occur on non-standard ports.

This query looks for processes that load an older version of the system.management.automation libraries. While not inherently malicious, downgrading to PowerShell version 2
can enable an attacker to bypass some of the protections afforded by modern PowerShell. It is worth noting that some tools and scripts perform this to enable
backwards compatibility, so the technique is not inherently malicious. You will likely need to filter the processes within your environment that legitimately use this
capability for this to be effective.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Msiexec abuse.
Msiexec.exe is a Windows component that installs files with the .msi extension. These kinds of files are Windows installer packages, and are used by a wide array of legitimate software. However, malicious actors can re-purpose msiexec.exe for living-off-the-land attacks, where they use legitimate system binaries on the compromised device to perform attacks.
The following query detects activity associated with misuse of msiexec.exe, particularly alongside mimikatz, a common credential dumper and privilege escalation tool.
