    Attacker's goals: An adversary may utilize the LDAP protocol to gain information on the Active Directory environment and plan its lateral movement over the network.
    Investigative actions: Where possible, check the legitimacy of the process that executed these LDAP queries. Investigate the LDAP search query for any suspicious indicators. Determine whether the search query is generic, those search queries (often using wildcards) tend to be more suspicious.

    Detector tags: LDAP Analytics (Client), LDAP Analytics (Server)
    Attacker's goals: An attacker is attempting to enumerate Active Directory.
    Investigative actions: Check if the process executes LDAP search queries as part of its normal behavior. Investigate the LDAP search query for any suspicious indicators. Determine whether the search query is generic. Wide search queries (often using wildcards) tend to be more suspicious. In our case, we are looking for targeted search queries.
