    ATT&CK tactics: Credential Access (TA0006) Lateral Movement (TA0008)
    ATT&CK techniques: Adversary-in-the-Middle: Name Resolution Poisoning and SMB Relay (T1557.001) Use Alternate Authentication Material: Pass the Hash (T1550.002)
    Required data: Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs XDR Agent
    Attacker's goals: The attacker is attempting a man-in-the-middle NTLM relay attack to intercept authentication attempts and move laterally within an environment.
    Investigative actions: Check that the alerted host is not a NAT or a proxy that duplicates traffic as part of its normal behavior. Check if the protocols used are vulnerable to an NTLM relay attack (e.g. LDAP, SMB). Ensure that SMB signing is enabled in the case of a possible SMB relay attack.
