Download CSV| Type | Name | Severity | Module | Data source / event | ATT&CK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics BIOC | A computer account was promoted to DC A computer account was promoted to a domain controller via a User Account Control (UAC) change. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics BIOC | A user modified the CA audit policy A user modified the CA audit policy. This may indicate that an attacker is attempting to cover their tracks before an AD CS attack. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics | A user sent multiple TGT requests to irregular service A user sent multiple TGT requests to services other than KRBTGT and KADMIN. This is typically a sign of a Kerberoasting attack. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | ADFS DKM Key Access ADFS DKM key attribute (thumbnailphoto) access in AD container, potential Golden SAML token forging attempt. | Low | Identity Threat Detection (ITDR) | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
| Analytics | Excessive user account lockouts A high amount of user accounts were locked out from a single source host in a short time period. This may be the result of a brute-force or password spray attack. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Masquerading as a default local account A user created a new local account with the name of a default local account, such as Guest and DefaultAccount. An attacker may create a user with these known names to evade detection. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion, Persistence |
| Analytics | Multiple suspicious user accounts were created A user was observed creating multiple rare user accounts. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Possible Kerberos relay attack A suspicious local network login was observed, which might indicate on Kerberos relay attack. This attack can lead to privilege escalation by obtaining system privileges on the target. | Low | Platform Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent | Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics | Short-lived user account A user was created and deleted within a short period of time. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | SPNs cleared from a machine account Service principal names were cleared from a machine account. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious access of the System Management Container A user accessed the System Management container, which may be an indication of a reconnaissance for site servers. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Reconnaissance |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious account attribute modification that matches that of another account Suspicious account attribute modification that matches that of another account. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious modification of the AdminSDHolder's ACL A user modified the AdminSDHolder ACL, which may be an indication of a privilege escalation attack. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious sAMAccountName change The name of a machine account was changed to a sAMAccountName with a missing trailing dollar sign. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation, Persistence |
| Analytics | User added to the SMS Admins local group A user was added to the SMS Admins local group. This may indicate a potential attack targeting the Microsoft Configuration Manager infrastructure. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Privilege Escalation |
