Detects modifications to DNS records in Active Directory where the Distinguished Name (DN) contains a base64-encoded blob
matching the pattern "1UWhRCAAAAA...BAAAA". This pattern corresponds to a marshaled CREDENTIAL_TARGET_INFORMATION structure,
commonly used in Kerberos coercion attacks. Adversaries may exploit this to coerce victim systems into authenticating to
attacker-controlled hosts by spoofing SPNs via DNS. It is one of the strong indicators of a Kerberos coercion attack,.
where adversaries manipulate DNS records to spoof Service Principal Names (SPNs) and redirect authentication requests like CVE-2025-33073.
Please investigate the user account that made the changes, as it is likely a low-privileged account that has been compromised.

Detects network connections via finger.exe, which can be abused by threat actors to retrieve remote commands for execution on Windows devices.
In one ClickFix malware campaign, adversaries leveraged the finger protocol to fetch commands from a remote server.
Since the finger utility is not commonly used in modern Windows environments, its presence already raises suspicion.
Investigating such network connections can also help identify potential malicious infrastructure used by threat actors

An adversary may use legitimate desktop support and remote access software, such as Team Viewer, Go2Assist, LogMein, AmmyyAdmin, etc, to establish an interactive command and control channel to target systems within networks.
These services are commonly used as legitimate technical support software, and may be allowed by application control within a target environment.
Remote access tools like VNC, Ammyy, and Teamviewer are used frequently when compared with other legitimate software commonly used by adversaries. (Citation: Symantec Living off the Land)
