Detectors
Every Cortex detection rule the toolbox knows about — analytics alerts, BIOCs and correlation rules — in one filterable set.
12 detectors match the current filters. tactic: TA0007 ✕ technique: T1046 ✕
Download CSV| Type | Name | Severity | Module | Data source / event | ATT&CK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics | An internal Cloud resource performed port scan on external networks An internal cloud resource attempted to connect to the same destination port of multiple external IP addresses. This may be a result of the cloud resource being hijacked by an attacker. Attackers perform port scans on a specific destination port for reconnaissance purposes, to detect known vulnerable services that accept connections in the specific port, and perform targeted attacks against them. | Medium | Cortex Cloud | XDR Agent | Discovery, Impact |
| BIOC | Enumeration of Windows services from public IP addresses Attackers may enumerate internet-facing services which use Windows protocols; as these services were not meant to be exposed to the internet, they may be attacked by enumerating users, brute-forcing passwords and through exploits. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Dml connection | Discovery |
| BIOC | Execution of Fsociety tool pack The Fsociety tool pack is an array of tools for information gathering, password attacks, exploitation, and more. | Medium | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Discovery, Credential Access |
| BIOC | Installation of networking security tools A security or penetration testing tool such as wireshark and nmap is being installed. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Discovery |
| Analytics BIOC | Kerberos Traffic from Non-Standard Process The endpoint had a non-standard process communicating over ports normally used by Kerberos. An attacker might be using malicious tools to move laterally. | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Discovery |
| Analytics | Port Scan The endpoint connected, or attempted to connect, to multiple privileged ports, which are infrequently used by other endpoints (i.e. destination ports that are normally used by many endpoints will not raise this alert). Attackers perform port scans for reconnaissance purposes, to find computers or servers that accept connections on these ports, and to find vulnerable services that can be exploited. Coverage for port scans using data arriving solely from Cortex agents is incomplete. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, Third-Party Firewalls | Discovery |
| Analytics | Port Sweep The endpoint connected, or attempted to connect, to multiple hosts using privileged ports that serve a well-defined function. Attackers perform port sweep for reconnaissance purposes, to find computers or servers that accept connections on these ports, and to find vulnerable services that can be exploited. Coverage for port sweeps using data arriving solely from Cortex agents is incomplete. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent, Third-Party Firewalls | Discovery |
| Analytics BIOC | Possible network service discovery via command-line tool An attacker may use command-line utilities to discover open ports and services on a remote host. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Discovery |
| BIOC | Possible Oracle enumeration via tnscmd10g The tnscmd10g command-line utility was executed, allowing the enumeration of Oracle DBs. | Low | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Discovery |
| Analytics BIOC | SMB Traffic from Non-Standard Process SMB traffic is usually performed by a standard set of privileged processes through designated ports. The endpoint had a non-standard process communicating over ports normally used by SMB. An attacker might be moving laterally by using tools that implement a custom version of the SMB protocol. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Discovery |
| BIOC | UDP protocol scanner execution The UDP Protocol Scanner performs UDP service discovery. Attackers may use it to enumerate UDP services in their target's environment. | Low | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Discovery |
| Analytics BIOC | Unusual internal access to network device management interface Unusual internal access to Palo Alto Networks device on management port. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Lateral Movement, Discovery |
