The analytic detects the initiation of traffic mirroring sessions on Cisco network devices. It leverages logs with specific mnemonics and facilities related to traffic mirroring, such as "ETH_SPAN_SESSION_UP" and "PKTCAP_START." This activity is significant because adversaries may use traffic mirroring to exfiltrate data by duplicating and forwarding network traffic to an external destination. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to capture sensitive information, monitor network communications, and potentially compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the network.
The analytic identifies an unusual number of Kerberos service ticket requests (Event ID 4769) originating from a single client address and account. It uses statistical analysis, specifically standard deviation and the 3-sigma rule, to detect anomalies. This activity is significant as it may indicate malicious behavior such as lateral movement, malware staging, or reconnaissance, potentially leading to unauthorized access to multiple endpoints and further compromise.
Detects an RDP connection originating from a domain controller. This activity is highly suspicious as domain controllers should not typically initiate RDP connections to other machines. Such an event could indicate lateral movement by an attacker who has compromised the domain controller. The rule specifically filters out connections made by "Microsoft.Tri.Sensor.exe", which is associated with Microsoft Defender for Identity, to avoid false positives from legitimate security operations.
Detects network communication initiated to the 'portmap.io' domain. This domain is often associated with port forwarding services that can be abused by malicious actors for command and control (C2) communication or data exfiltration, potentially masking the true destination of the traffic.
This rule detects when a Python process initiates an outbound network connection. While this activity can be legitimate for tasks like package installation or updates, it can also be indicative of malicious behavior, such as a Python-based script establishing communication with a command and control (C2) server or performing network reconnaissance. The rule includes filters to reduce false positives from common activities like Anaconda updates, Jupyter Notebook local communication, and 'pip install' commands.
Detects programs that connect to known malware callback ports based on threat intelligence reports.
Detects an executable accessing the portmap.io domain, which could be a sign of forbidden C2 traffic or data exfiltration by malicious actors
This YARA rule detects the Sshdinjector backdoor on Linux systems. It identifies specific byte patterns associated with the backdoor's functionalities, including killing and restarting daemons, network communication, reading the /etc/shadow file (for credential dumping), and listing running services.
Detects a Python process initiating a network connection. While this often relates to package installation, it can also indicate a potential malicious script communicating with a C&C server.
Detects the 'RegAsm.exe' utility initiating an outbound network connection to a public IP address. RegAsm.exe is a legitimate Microsoft utility used to register .NET assemblies, but it can be abused by adversaries for defense evasion and proxy execution, especially when making unexpected network connections.
This rule identifies enumeration of user inboxes within an Entra ID tenant via the Microsoft Graph API. It specifically looks for multiple GET requests to the `/v1.0/users/*/mailFolders/Inbox/messages` endpoint from a single IP address and session within a 5-minute window. The detection is based on the behavior of tools like Invoke-GraphOpenInboxFinder in GraphRunner, but is applicable to any tool performing similar inbox scanning. The rule provides outcomes detailing the number of scanned users, successful accesses (HTTP 200), forbidden accesses (HTTP 403), and not found inboxes (HTTP 404).
Detects HTTP requests to low reputation TLDs (e.g. .xyz, .top, .ru) or ending in suspicious file extensions (.exe, .dll, .hta), which may indicate malicious activity.
Identify the use GraphRunner's Invoke-DumpApps function to collect applications and external apps as well as users that consented to permissions in their apps.
Detects and alerts on users bypassing Chrome Safe Browsing warnings and accessing potentially dangerous content or downloads
Identify a 400 bad request to the groups endpoint in the MS Graph API. GraphRunner's Invoke-SecurityGroupCloner function will trigger this if it fails to duplicate a group.
Detects a non-browser process interacting with the Google API which could indicate the use of a covert C2 such as Google Sheet C2 (GC2-sheet)
Detects network connections made by non-browser processes to public IP lookup services. This activity can indicate an adversary performing discovery to understand the external IP address of a compromised system, often as a post-compromise internet connectivity test or for reconnaissance purposes.
This rule detects when an SNMP OID request is made to an OpenCanary honeypot's SNMP service. This indicates an adversary is likely performing reconnaissance to gather information about the network or devices, potentially looking for vulnerabilities or sensitive data.
Detects instances where a TFTP service on an OpenCanary honeypot node has received a request. This indicates potential reconnaissance or attempts to interact with a seemingly vulnerable service.
This rule detects when a user bypasses Chrome Safe Browsing warnings for potentially dangerous content or downloads. It specifically looks for events where Chrome Management reports a bad navigation event, dangerous download event, content transfer event, or unscanned file event, and the security result indicates the event was 'BYPASSED' by the user. The rule also assigns a risk score based on the category of the bypassed threat, with higher scores for malware, dangerous hosts, and social engineering.
Detects a network connection that was initiated from a PowerShell process. Malicious PowerShell scripts often download additional payloads or communicate back to command and control channels via uncommon ports or IPs. This rule can be used as a basis for hunting for anomalies.
