The following analytic identifies the use of cleartext protocols that risk leaking sensitive information. It detects network traffic on legacy protocols such as Telnet (port 23), POP3 (port 110), IMAP (port 143), and non-anonymous FTP (port 21). The detection leverages the Network_Traffic data model to identify TCP traffic on these ports. Monitoring this activity is crucial as it can expose credentials and other sensitive data to interception. If confirmed malicious, attackers could capture authentication details, leading to unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

This rule detects remote procedure calls (RPC) targeting the MS-SRVS interface (UUID: 4b324fc8-1670-01d3-1278-5a47bf6ee188) which is associated with the Server Service. Abuse of this service can be used for lateral movement within a network, potentially for creating remote shares or other administrative functions. The detection relies on logs from an RPC Firewall.

This rule detects remote procedure call (RPC) activity related to the Print System Remote Protocol (MS-RPRN) and Print System Asynchronous Remote Protocol (MS-PAR) interfaces. Specifically, it looks for RPC Firewall events (EventLog: RPCFW, EventID: 3) where the InterfaceUuid matches known UUIDs associated with these printing protocols. This activity can indicate an attempt to abuse remote printing services for lateral movement within a network, potentially exploiting vulnerabilities like CVE-2021-34527 (PrintNightmare).

This rule detects when a file is downloaded from an IP address and subsequently created on a system, where both the file hash and the IP address are identified by VirusTotal Relationships as being associated with each other, specifically through a 'DOWNLOADED_FROM' relationship. This indicates that the downloaded file is known to have been served from that particular IP address, potentially flagging malicious file distribution.

This rule detects remote procedure calls (RPC) specifically targeting the Remote Registry Protocol (MS-RRP) interface (UUID: 338cd001-2244-31f1-aaaa-900038001003) for information collection. It filters out common administrative operations (OpNum 6, 7, 8, 13, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 35) to reduce false positives, focusing on suspicious reconnaissance activities against the registry from a remote system.

This rule detects when a known malicious file, identified by its SHA256 hash through VirusTotal relationships, attempts to contact a domain that VirusTotal also associates with that file. It correlates DNS query events with VirusTotal intelligence to identify suspicious network communications originating from potentially compromised systems.

This rule detects DNS queries to domains identified as Command and Control (C2) infrastructure within a Threat Intelligence (TI) feed, specifically MISP. It correlates DNS events with MISP data where the entity type is 'DOMAIN_NAME' and the threat summary indicates 'C2 domains'. The rule is designed to identify potential C2 communications from internal hosts.

This rule detects web traffic to a recently expired domain followed by the creation of an executable (.exe) file on the same host. It correlates network access events with WHOIS data to identify expired domains and then looks for subsequent file creation events where the file path ends with '.exe'. The file creation must occur after the network access event on the same principal hostname.

This rule detects when a network connection is made to a domain that has expired. It leverages WHOIS data to identify domains whose expiration time is before the event timestamp. The rule specifically looks for HTTP network events and joins them with WHOIS information to identify access to recently expired domains. This could indicate access to potentially malicious infrastructure, as expired domains can be re-registered by threat actors for nefarious purposes.

This rule detects when a file, identified by its SHA256 hash, initiates a network connection to an IP address that is identified as a Tor exit node. The rule leverages VirusTotal relationships to link the file hash to the contacted IP address and Google Cloud Threat Intelligence (GCTI) Feed to identify Tor exit nodes. The risk score is increased if the Tor IP's geolocation is in certain countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria).

This rule detects remote RPC calls made to query information about scheduled tasks. Specifically, it monitors for RPC Firewall events (EventID 3) with a specific InterfaceUuid (86d35949-83c9-4044-b424-db363231fd0c) which corresponds to the ITaskSchedulerService. The rule filters out common operational numbers (OpNum 1, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) to reduce false positives, focusing on less common or potentially malicious reconnaissance activities related to scheduled tasks.

This rule detects the use of the 'net use' command to connect to Windows administrative shares (C$, ADMIN$, IPC$) by users who are members of the 'Domain Admins' group. It specifically looks for process launch events where the command line contains 'net use' followed by one of the administrative share names. The rule correlates this activity with user entity data to identify if the executing user is part of the 'Domain Admins' group, indicating potential lateral movement or administrative activity.
