  • Abnormal SMB scanning activity to multiple hosts Informational 4 variations

    An endpoint performed a new, unfamiliar SMB scanning activity to multiple hosts on the network.

    Activation:
    14 Days
    Training:
    30 Days
    Test:
    20 Minutes
    Deduplication:
    2 Days
    ATT&CK tactics: Reconnaissance (TA0043)
    ATT&CK techniques: Active Scanning (T1595)
    Required data: XDR Agent
    Attacker's goals: An adversary may use different protocols to enumerate and plan its lateral movement over the network.
    Investigative actions: Verify if the host is a newly deployed server that consists of SMB services to multiple hosts or periodic network mapping services. Verify the legitimacy of the actor process (and its causality) that initiated this SMB traffic.
