This rule detects commands executed on Cisco network devices related to the export of private keys or the import/management of PKI certificates. Specifically, it looks for the commands 'crypto pki export', 'crypto pki import', and 'crypto pki trustpoint'. These actions can indicate an attempt to exfiltrate sensitive cryptographic material (private keys) or to establish new trusted certificates, which could be used for defense evasion or to facilitate man-in-the-middle attacks.

This rule detects when the master password for an AWS RDS database instance is changed. This activity could be a precursor to data exfiltration or an attempt to gain unauthorized access to the database. The rule specifically looks for the 'ModifyDBInstance' event from 'rds.amazonaws.com' where the 'masterUserPassword' in 'pendingModifiedValues' is present, indicating a password change.

This detection identifies the creation or update of a server instance within an Azure AD Hybrid Health AD FS service using Azure Activity logs. An adversary might perform this action to create a new AD Health ADFS service and a fake server instance to spoof AD FS signing logs, potentially bypassing the need to compromise an on-premises AD FS server. This can be achieved programmatically via HTTP requests to Azure.

Detects reconnaissance activity involving attempts to enumerate domain administrator accounts and domain groups. Specifically, it looks for Event ID 4661 (An operation was performed on an object) with an AccessMask of '0x2d' (which indicates a read access attempt) on SAM_USER or SAM_GROUP objects whose ObjectName corresponds to well-known SIDs for the built-in Administrator account (-500) or Domain Admins group (-512) within a domain (S-1-5-21- prefix). This activity is often associated with adversaries using commands like 'net user administrator /domain' or 'net group domain admins /domain' to discover privileged accounts.

This detection uses Azure Activity logs (Administrative category) to identify the deletion of an Azure AD Hybrid Health AD FS service instance in a tenant. A threat actor can create a new AD Health ADFS service and create a fake server to spoof AD FS signing logs. The health AD FS service can then be deleted after it is no longer needed via HTTP requests to Azure.

This rule identifies when an Azure DNS zone is either modified or deleted. This activity is detected by monitoring Azure Activity Logs for operations starting with 'MICROSOFT.NETWORK/DNSZONES' and ending with '/WRITE' (for modifications) or '/DELETE' (for deletions). Such changes can indicate malicious activity aimed at redirecting traffic or disrupting services.
