Detectors
Every Cortex detection rule the toolbox knows about — analytics alerts, BIOCs and correlation rules — in one filterable set.
3 detectors match the current filters.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Random-Looking Domain Names The endpoint performed DNS lookups to an excessively large number of apparently random root domain names. This alert might be symptomatic of malware that is trying to connect to its command and control (C2) servers. The attacker's C2 server runs on one or more domains that can eventually be identified and blacklisted. To avoid this, malware will sometimes use Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA) that produce many unique, random-looking domain names every day. Because only a few of these domains are ever registered, the installed malware must blindly try to access each generated domain name in an effort to locate an active one, which may also trigger the Failed DNS alert. | Medium | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent | Command and Control |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious Encrypting File System Remote call (EFSRPC) to domain controller An Encrypting File System Remote call (EFSRPC) was made to a domain controller. | Medium | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Lateral Movement |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious HTTP parameters detected The endpoint received suspicious HTTP parameters via an HTTP request, which may indicate attempts to exploit server components or web shell activity. | Medium | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent | Initial Access, Persistence |
