Detects a user initiating an OAuth flow with the Microsoft Authentication Broker (MAB) client to the Device Registration Service (DRS) from multiple IP addresses within a short time window. This pattern is indicative of an adversary using a phished authorization code to begin the process of registering a malicious device in the target tenant, a key step for establishing persistence. The rule specifically looks for sessions that involve at least one browser-based request, which is common in the initial phishing stage.

Identifies Entra ID sign-in events where a user authenticates using a refresh token issued to the Microsoft Authentication Broker (MAB) client, targeting the Device Registration Service (DRS) with the "adrs_access" OAuth scope. This pattern is a strong indicator of an adversary using a stolen refresh token to initiate a malicious device registration flow, often with tools like ROADtx, as a step towards establishing persistence.

Detects attempts to read the Key Distribution Service (KDS) Root Key from Active Directory. This is often a preliminary step in the Golden dMSA attack, where an attacker with high privileges attempts to retrieve the key material needed to forge tickets for Delegated Managed Service Accounts (dMSA) to establish domain persistence. The rule looks for access to the 'msKds-ProvRootKey' object, identified either by its name or its schema ID GUID 'aa02fd41-17e0-4f18-8687-b2239649736b'.

Detects Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) queries that may be attempting to access or exfiltrate sensitive credentials like passwords, API keys, or tokens stored within Salesforce objects. This activity was observed in the UNC6395 campaign where attackers targeted AWS keys, Snowflake tokens, and passwords.

Detects a sequence of commands on Cisco IOS devices used to capture network traffic, specifically targeting TACACS+ on TCP port 49, and then exfiltrate it. This technique, detailed in a CISA advisory on PRC state-sponsored actors, is used to harvest credentials from network traffic.

This rule detects the execution of 'cmdkey.exe' with the '-l' argument, which is used to list cached credentials on a Windows system. This activity is often associated with reconnaissance for cached credentials by adversaries.

This rule detects the use of 'esentutl.exe' to copy sensitive files containing credential data, such as the Security Account Manager (SAM) database or the NTDS.dit file. It specifically looks for command-line arguments indicative of Volume Shadow Copy operations or direct paths to known sensitive files within the 'config', 'repair', or 'windows\ntds' directories.

The analytic identifies a possible non-common browser process accessing its browser user data profile. This tactic/technique has been observed in various Trojan Stealers, such as SnakeKeylogger, which attempt to gather sensitive browser information and credentials as part of their exfiltration strategy. Detecting this anomaly can serve as a valuable pivot for identifying processes that access lists of browser user data profiles unexpectedly. This detection uses a lookup file `browser_app_list` that maintains a list of well known browser applications and the browser paths that are allowed to access the browser user data profiles.

The following analytic detects non-Chrome processes attempting to access the Chrome extensions file. It leverages Windows Security Event logs, specifically event code 4663, to identify this behavior. This activity is significant because adversaries may exploit this file to extract sensitive information from the Chrome browser, posing a security risk. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access to stored credentials and other sensitive data, potentially compromising the security of the affected system and broader network.

Detects the usage of "cmdkey.exe" with the '-g', '-u', and '-p' command-line arguments to add new generic credentials. This activity can be used by adversaries to store credentials for later use, potentially before connecting to remote services like RDP.

This rule detects the use of 'Rpcping.exe' to force NTLM authentication by sending an RPC test connection to a target server. This technique can be used by attackers to capture NTLM hashes, which can then be cracked offline to obtain user credentials.

Detects the enumeration of loaded modules or DLLs within processes using 'tasklist.exe' with the '-m' flag. This activity is often performed by attackers to identify the Process ID (PID) associated with a specific DLL (e.g., 'rdpcorets.dll') for subsequent actions like dumping process memory to extract credentials.

Detects attempts to enable WDigest credential caching by modifying the 'UseLogonCredential' registry value. This allows plaintext credentials to be stored in memory, which can then be harvested by attackers. The threat group ShadowSilk has been observed using this technique.

Detects when new credentials are added to an Entra ID Service Principal, followed by a successful login from that principal within a short time frame. This pattern is consistent with MURKY PANDA TTPs for lateral movement and persistence in cloud environments.

This KQL query searches the ExposureGraphNodes table in Microsoft Defender XDR or Sentinel to identify user accounts whose credentials have been leaked. It focuses on nodes categorized as "identity" and labeled as "user", then extracts detailed identity-related properties such as: Display name, UPN, email address, Account status (enabled/disabled), Job title, department, phone, address, Source provider (e.g., Azure AD, on-prem AD), Account creation time, and whether the account's credentials have been leaked. The query filters and enriches this data, and presents it in a clean, readable format for hunting or triage.
