ThreatSeeker

Threat Hunting via Windows Event Logs

Threat hunting using Windows logs is essential for identifying and mitigating potential security threats within an organization's network. It can be a time-consuming and painstaking process due to a large amount of data that needs to be collected and analyzed. The threat-hunting process could be repetitive. However, this process can be improved through custom scripts and tools.

We will introduce ThreatSeeker, a windows log analysis framework that allows a threat hunter to find the common threats on the machine quickly. This tool also helps a threat hunter to detect APT movements.

ThreatSeeker will allow a user to detect the following attacks:

• Suspicious account behavior
• User Creation and Added/Removed User to Admin group
• Brute Force Attack Detection on SMB, RDP, WinRM, etc.
• Brute Force Attack Detection
• Detection of malicious executable
• Detection of PTH Attack
• Suspicious service creation
• Installed Service with the executable in Suspicious locations
• Detection of Modifying, Starting, Disabling, and Stopping Service
• Detection of special privileges assigned
• Suspicious Command Auditing
• Powershell with Suspicious Argument
• PowerShell Downloads
• Execution of Suspicious executable, i.e., rundll32.exe, sc.exe, mshta.exe, wscript.exe, cscript.exe
• Suspicious Windows Registry Modification, Addition
• Many More...
