Detecting Tampering of Windows Security Audit Policy

Detecting Tampering of Windows Security Audit Policy

Detect FYI - Medium detect.fyi

Recently, I finished reading a book I strongly recommend to anyone working in Threat Hunting, BTFM (Blue Team Field Manual). Among the different topics mentioned on it, I want to talk about the auditpol.exe which is a built-in Windows command-line utility used to view and configure the Windows security auditing policy. It controls what types of security-relevant actions (logon events, privilege use, object access, policy changes, etc.) are recorded in the Windows Security event log. Why...

First off, thanks for taking the time to check out my post. Not sure if this is the right place to post, if not, happy to move it.

What this program does is generates 100% accurate threat hunts across a variety of different SIEMs. This will allow analysts and really anyone on the security team to threat hunt. More power in more peoples...

Analyst looking to get specialised into Threat Hunting, any certification outshining the others?

Analyst looking to get specialised into Threat Hunting, any certification outshining the others?

cybersecurity www.reddit.com

As the title mentions I am a security analyst and I am looking to develop my skills further into Threat Hunting. I have previous certifications such as Security+, CDSA, OSCP+, etc. I would like to learn about Threat Hunting as it seems the most appealing to me, followed very close in second place by Forensic Analysis. As I've done my own research there really isn't a Threat Hunting certification per se that would make you go straight to it for that specific concept, at least not surely at the...

Multi-tenant RTR script execution

CrowdStrike www.reddit.com

Currently I'm trying to find out how to execute custom RTR scripts for threat hunting purposes. But since I have a multi-CID environment and the number of them is quite large with hundreds up to thousands hosts per each, it seems complicated to create an API client, upload scripts, perfrom particular actions on psfalcon every time for each tenant. I'd like to know if it's possible to follow all these steps on the parent tenant once to not waste time. But it looks like console tabs for API...

Moving into MDR analysis

So I work in T1 support as of now, my company offered me a position to move Into MDR analysis, but the catch is that I will have to work on weekends either Sundays or Saturdays, questions here are: Is it really worth it to move there? Could it be considered as a side step more than a promotion? I could be moved into threat hunting or incident response In the future which I really like, but I really hate working on weekends. They will train me for 6 months for, which I also like. Will this...
