Download CSV| Type | Name | Severity | Module | Data source / event | ATT&CK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics | A compromised process accessed a rare cloud resource A compromised process accessed a rare cloud resource. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Command and Control |
| Analytics | A compromised process accessed a rare external host A compromised process accessed a rare external host. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Command and Control |
| Analytics | DNS Tunneling 10 KB or more were sent encoded in subdomain names during a 10-minute window. All subdomains queried were under a single suspicious domain. DNS tunneling encodes data in DNS queries and responses, allowing an attacker to bypass firewalls and proxies to reach his or her command and control server, even when HTTP/S traffic is blocked. The endpoint may be remotely controlled by an attacker, and/or an attacker may have exfiltrated data from it. This detector is not supported when networking events arrive solely from Cortex XDR Linux agents. | Low | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent | Command and Control, Exfiltration |
| Analytics | Download pattern that resembles Peer to Peer traffic A possible P2P protocol was spotted from an internal host. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent | Command and Control, Initial Access |
| Analytics | Rare access to known advertising domains The endpoint performed many connections to unpopular advertising domains. This could indicate the presence of adware on the endpoint. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent | Command and Control, Persistence |
| Analytics | Suspicious DNS traffic 10 KB or more were sent encoded in subdomain names during a 10-minute window. All subdomains queried were under a single suspicious domain. DNS tunneling encodes data in DNS queries and responses, allowing an attacker to bypass firewalls and proxies to reach his or her command and control server, even when HTTP/S traffic is blocked. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent | Command and Control, Exfiltration |
| Analytics | Upload pattern that resembles Peer to Peer traffic A possible P2P protocol was spotted from an internal host. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent | Command and Control, Initial Access |
