SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires splunk-sdk, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Analyzes Windows Security, System, and Sysmon event logs in Splunk to detect authentication attacks, privilege escalation, persistence mechanisms, and lateral movement using SPL queries mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.

Core Features & Use Cases

Provides SPL-based detection patterns for authentication anomalies, privilege changes, persistence mechanisms, and lateral movement.
Includes ready-to-run queries for brute force (EventCode 4625), password spray, new admin accounts (4720), LSASS access (Sysmon EventCode 10), and SMB/RDP lateral movement detection.
Maps detections to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and integrates with Windows CIM data model for cross-source correlation.

Quick Start

Run a Splunk search against Windows event logs to surface brute-force and suspicious authentication events in the last 24 hours.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I detect Windows authentication attacks in Splunk using SPL?▼

Detect Windows authentication attacks in Splunk by running SPL queries against WinEventLog:Security logs to surface brute-force attempts (EventCode 4625) and password spray anomalies within a specified time window.

What is the best way to map Windows Event logs to MITRE ATT&CK techniques for threat hunting?▼

Map Windows Event logs to MITRE ATT&CK techniques by correlating Sysmon EventCode 10 for LSASS access and EventCode 4720 for new admin accounts with specific tactics like privilege escalation and lateral movement.

Can I use Splunk to detect lateral movement and persistence mechanisms on Windows endpoints?▼

Yes, Splunk can detect lateral movement and persistence mechanisms by analyzing SMB and RDP traffic patterns alongside Windows Security and System logs using ready-to-run SPL detection queries.

Do I need Sysmon deployed to monitor Windows privilege escalation in Splunk?▼

Yes, Sysmon deployment is required alongside Splunk Enterprise to ingest XmlWinEventLog:Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational data for effectively monitoring process-level privilege escalation behaviors.

Does analyzing Windows event logs in Splunk require CIM data model acceleration?▼

Yes, CIM data model acceleration is required to enable cross-source correlation and normalize ingested Windows Event data for comprehensive threat detection and incident response operations.
