Detects 'svchost.exe' spawning 'rundll32.exe' with command arguments indicating the use of 'davclnt.dll,DavSetCookie' and a remote IP address. This activity is suspicious as it can be an indicator of data exfiltration, execution of code hosted on a WebDAV server, or exploitation related to CVE-2023-23397, particularly for NTLM hash theft.

Detects the execution of 'setspn.exe' with the query flag ('-q' or '/q'), which is commonly used by attackers to enumerate Service Principal Names (SPNs) as a precursor to Kerberoasting attacks. This activity can help identify potential attempts to discover service accounts with weak passwords that can be cracked offline.

Detects potential network sniffing via use of network tools such as "tshark", "windump". Network sniffing refers to using the network interface on a system to monitor or capture information sent over a wired or wireless connection. An adversary may place a network interface into promiscuous mode to passively access data in transit over the network, or use span ports to capture a larger amount of data.

This rule detects a potential Kerberos Replay Attack on domain controllers. It specifically looks for Event ID 4649, which indicates that a "KRB_AP_ERR_REPEAT" Kerberos response was sent to the client. This error signifies that the KDC detected a replay of a Kerberos Application Server (AP) request, suggesting an adversary might be attempting to reuse stolen Kerberos tickets to gain unauthorized access.

This rule detects the mounting of a volume shadow copy, specifically looking for Event ID 98 from the Microsoft-Windows-Ntfs provider where the DeviceName contains 'HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy'. Adversaries may mount volume shadow copies to access files, including credential stores like the Security Account Manager (SAM) database, without directly interacting with the live file system, which can bypass some security controls.

Detects the creation of specific files commonly associated with Mimikatz, a credential dumping tool. Specifically, it looks for files ending with '.kirbi' (Kerberos tickets) or named 'mimilsa.log' (related to MemSSP). This activity often indicates an attempt to steal Kerberos credentials or other sensitive authentication information.

Detects PowerShell execution that enumerates Active Directory users with the 'DONT_REQ_PREAUTH' flag set (UserAccountControl flag 4194304). This flag indicates that the account does not require Kerberos pre-authentication, making it vulnerable to AS-REP Roasting attacks where an attacker can request a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) without providing credentials and then attempt to crack the hash offline.

This rule detects the use of `find.exe` or `findstr.exe` to search for the string 'cpassword' within XML files located in the SYSVOL share. This activity is indicative of an adversary attempting to locate encrypted Group Policy Preferences (GPP) passwords, which can then be decrypted to obtain credentials.

This rule detects the execution of the Hashcat password cracking tool. It specifically looks for the `hashcat.exe` executable and command-line arguments indicative of cracking NTLM hashes (`-m 1000`) and using a rule file (`-r `). The rule aims to identify attempts to crack passwords, potentially using SAM file contents obtained from a Windows registry.
