839 detections

This rule detects changes to a user account's User Account Control (UAC) settings, specifically when the 'NewUacValue' is set to '0x2080'. This value corresponds to the 'ACCOUNTDISABLE' flag, indicating that a user account has been disabled. Monitoring such changes can help identify potential malicious activity where an attacker might disable legitimate user accounts to disrupt operations or hinder incident response.

Detects the creation of domain accounts named 'backup_DA' or 'backup_EA' and the subsequent addition of the 'backup_EA' account to the 'Enterprise Admins' group. This behavior is associated with the persistence and privilege escalation tactics used by the Akira ransomware group.

Detects instances where a user within the MyBB Admin Control Panel (ACP) attempts to create a new user account and assign it to the administrator usergroup (gid=4). This activity is indicative of a privilege escalation attempt by an authenticated user with limited administrative access or an attacker who has compromised such an account.

Detects the use of the Windows net.exe or net1.exe utilities to add users to privileged groups such as 'Administrators' or 'Domain Admins'. This is a common technique used by attackers to achieve privilege escalation or establish persistence by modifying sensitive account group memberships.

Detects cases where a user privilege is granted (EventCode 4717) and subsequently revoked (EventCode 4718) within a 60-minute window. This behavior often indicates transient privilege abuse, where an attacker grants themselves temporary elevated rights to perform an action and then revokes them to evade detection or minimize their footprint.

This rule detects multiple unauthorized access attempts (5 or more within an hour) to sensitive Active Directory objects such as 'Admin', 'krbtgt', or 'Domain Admins'. It leverages Windows Security Event ID 4662, which indicates an operation was performed on an object, and filters for specific sensitive object names. The rule then groups these attempts by object, IP address, and user, alerting when a threshold of attempts is met.

Detects modifications to computer or user accounts in Active Directory where the 'Trusted for Delegation' flag is enabled. Enabling unconstrained delegation allows a compromised account to request and cache Ticket Granting Tickets (TGTs) for any user authenticating to the service, enabling potential privilege escalation and lateral movement.

This rule detects when sensitive administrative roles are assigned directly to users in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) without utilizing the Privileged Identity Management (PIM) service. Direct assignment of these roles bypasses the security controls and JIT (Just-In-Time) access workflows enforced by PIM, potentially indicating unauthorized privilege escalation or a misconfiguration.

This rule detects the creation or modification of user accounts on Windows systems by monitoring Security Event IDs 4741 (A security-enabled local group was created) and 4742 (A computer account was changed). It summarizes the count of such changes per hour by the subject user name, which can help identify unusual or excessive account management activities.

Detects instances where a user or service principal is assigned to high-privilege roles (e.g., Global Administrator, Owner) without utilizing the Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) service. This is indicated by the absence of 'PIM' in the LoggedByService field for a successful 'Add member to role' operation, which could signify an attempt to bypass established access controls and gain unauthorized elevated persistence.

This rule detects attempts to manipulate user or service principal names (SPN/UPN) in Active Directory by adding non-ASCII or zero-width characters. Such modifications can be used by adversaries for obfuscation, to bypass detection mechanisms, or to create stealthy persistence. The rule specifically looks for Event IDs 4738 (User Account Changed) and 5136 (Directory Service Object Modified) where the 'servicePrincipalName' or 'userPrincipalName' attributes contain characters outside the standard ASCII range or zero-width characters like U+200B, U+200C, U+200D.

This rule detects suspicious activities related to AWS S3 buckets that could indicate a bucket hijacking attempt or unauthorized replication to an external account. Specifically, it looks for two scenarios: 1) an S3 bucket being deleted and then recreated by a different AWS account within a one-hour window, suggesting a namespace hijacking, or 2) an S3 bucket being deleted while a PutBucketReplication event references an external AWS account, indicating an attempt to exfiltrate data or maintain access through replication.

Detects modifications to the AdminSDHolder object in Active Directory via Windows Security Event ID 5136. The AdminSDHolder object maintains the security permissions for all objects protected by the AdminSDHolder process. Adversaries often modify this object to establish persistence and gain unauthorized access to highly privileged accounts within the domain.

Detects changes to the attributes of the AdminSDHolder object in Active Directory. The AdminSDHolder object is a template used by the Active Directory security descriptor propagator (SDProp) to enforce permissions on protected administrative groups. Modification of this object is a highly suspicious activity that can be used to establish persistence or grant excessive privileges by poisoning the security descriptors of all protected objects within the domain.
