Type Name Severity Module Data source / event ATT&CK
Analytics BIOC A suspicious process enrolled for a certificate A suspicious process enrolled for a certificate. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics Account probing A user failed to log in to multiple hosts it never accessed before in a short amount of time. This may indicate the account is compromised and an attacker is probing for a host it can access with those credentials. Low Identity Analytics XDR Agent Initial Access, Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Cached credentials discovery with cmdkey Cmdkey is a built-in Windows tool that can cache domain user credentials for use on specific target machines, Attackers can access cached user credentials using cmdkey /list. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access, Discovery
Analytics BIOC Copy a user's GnuPG directory with rsync Copy a user's GnuPG (.gnupg) directory on to a staging folder using the 'find' and 'rsync' commands. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Extracting credentials from Unix files Suspicious Unix files containing insecurely stored credentials were accessed. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics Interactive local account enumeration Multiple non-existing accounts attempted interactive local logins to a host within a short period. This may indicate that an attacker has physical access to the host and is trying to enumerate accounts. Low Identity Analytics XDR Agent Discovery, Credential Access
Analytics Kerberos Pre-Auth Failures by Host The endpoint failed an unusual number of Kerberos pre-authentications (TGT requests) from at least three users when compared to its baseline. This can indicate a password-spraying attack. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Keylogging using system commands Usage of a Linux system utility to capture input. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access, Collection
Analytics Machine Account NTLM Relay An NTLM NTProofStr was seen from more than one source. This indicates that machine account NTLM authentication data has been relayed. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent Credential Access, Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Multiple uncommon SSH Servers with the same Server host key Multiple uncommon SSH servers were observed using the same host key. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics Multiple user accounts failed login due to 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 XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics Multiple Weakly-Encrypted Kerberos Tickets Received A user accessed a number of services associated with user accounts in the 10 minutes leading to the alert, generating a number of weakly encrypted Kerberos TGS (ticket granting service) tickets that is significantly larger than the number of weakly encrypted TGS tickets received by that user in the 30 days leading to the alert. Services associated with user accounts are a common target for Kerberoasting due to default weak encryption. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics NTLM Brute Force on a Service Account A service account attempted to authenticate to a target using NTLM an excessive number of times in a short period. This may indicate a NTLM brute-force attack. Low Identity Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics NTLM Brute Force on an Administrator Account An administrator account attempted to authenticate using NTLM to a target an excessive number of times in a short period. This may indicate an NTLM brute-force attack. Low Identity Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics Possible external RDP Brute-Force Multiple failed remote logins originated from an external IP with at least one successful login. This may indicate a successful brute-force attack. Low Identity Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Possible Kerberoasting without SPNs A user specifically requested weak and deprecated encryption in a Kerberos TGS request. This provides easy-to-crack hashes, and is typically a sign of a Kerberoasting attack. The requested service was specified by using a suspicious SPN type, which is often used by Kerberoasting tools to request by SAN instead of SPN. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Possible network sniffing attempt via tcpdump or tshark Attackers may monitor network traffic for cleartext credentials or to learn the network's configuration. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access, Discovery
Analytics Potential extraction of NAA Account Credentials in Microsoft Configuration Manager Possible user attempt to deobfuscate Network Access Account (NAA) credentials in Microsoft Configuration Manager. This may indicate a compromised account. Low Identity Analytics AzureAD Audit Log, Microsoft Graph Logs, Office 365 Audit, Okta, Palo Alto Networks Global Protect, Third-Party VPNs, XDR Agent, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Credential Access, Defense Evasion
Analytics BIOC Reading bash command history file Attackers may access the bash history file to glean cleartext usernames and passwords that were entered on the command line. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Stored credentials exported using credwiz.exe Attackers may abuse the credwiz tool to export stored accounts. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Suspicious Certutil AD CS contact A suspicious occurrence of Certutil attempted to contact the AD CS Request Interface. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Discovery, Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Suspicious setspn.exe execution A Service Principal Name (SPN) is a unique identifier for a service, mapped to a specific account. Setspn.exe can be used to retrieve SPN information, which may indicate an attacker's attempt to "Kerberoast". Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Suspicious sshpass command execution The sshpass command was executed, This could be an attempt to check for credential stuffing. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Uncommon AppleScript potentially utilizes credential-grabbing techniques to steal user passwords The AppleScript interpreter potentially utilizes credential-grabbing techniques to steal user passwords. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution, Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Unprivileged process opened a registry hive An unprivileged process opened a registry hive directly. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Unusual ADFS Remote Synchronization network connections from non-ADFS server Detected an unauthorized configuration sync request to the ADFS Policy Store from a non-ADFS server, step for forging SAML tokens in a Golden SAML attack. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent Credential Access, Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Unusual Azure AD sync module load A process that does not usually load the Azure AD Sync mcrypt.dll loaded the module. Low Identity Threat Detection (ITDR) XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Weakly-Encrypted Kerberos Ticket Requested A user specifically requested weak and deprecated encryption in a Kerberos TGS request. This provides easy-to-crack hashes and is typically a sign of a Kerberoasting attack. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent Credential Access
