Include wildcard patterns (`%.example.com`) for comprehensive subdomain coverage. +- **Query crt.sh for historical certificates**: Use the crt.sh JSON API to retrieve all known certificates for each domain. The API endpoint `https://crt.sh/?q=%.example.com&output=json` returns certificates matching the wildcard pattern with fields including `issuer_ca_id`, `issuer_name`, `common_name`, `name_value`, `not_before`, `not_after`, and `serial_number`. +- **Build baseline database**: Store the initial certificate set in a local SQLite database with columns for certificate ID, domain, issuer, validity dates, SANs (Subject Alternative Names), and first-seen timestamp. This baseline prevents alerting on already-known certificates. +- **Identify authorized CAs**: From the baseline, extract the set of Certificate Authorities that have legitimately issued certificates for your domains. Any future issuance from a CA not in this set triggers a high-priority alert. +- **Map subdomains**: Extract all unique subdomains from the `name_value` field across all certificates to build an initial subdomain inventory. + +### Step 2: Continuous CT Log Monitoring + +Set up ongoing monitoring for new certificate issuances: + +- **Poll crt.sh periodically**: Query the crt.sh API at regular intervals (every 15-60 minutes) for new certificates. Use the `exclude=expired` parameter to focus on currently valid certificates. Compare results against the baseline database to identify new entries. +- **Parse certificate details**: For each new certificate, extract the full SAN list, issuer chain, validity period, key type and size, CT log SCT (Signed Certificate Timestamp) details, and certificate fingerprint (SHA-256). +- **Detect precertificates**: CT logs include precertificates (poisoned certificates submitted before final issuance). Track these as early warnings since they indicate a certificate is about to be issued but may not yet be active. +- **Monitor CT log Signed Tree Heads (STH)**: For advanced monitoring, query CT log servers directly to fetch the latest STH and verify consistency proofs between consecutive tree heads. An inconsistency indicates log misbehavior (split-view attack). +- **Rate limiting awareness**: Respect crt.sh rate limits by spacing queries and caching responses. Implement exponential backoff on HTTP 429 responses. For high-volume monitoring, consider querying the crt.sh PostgreSQL interface directly at `crt.sh:5432`. +- **Atom/RSS feed alternative**: Subscribe to crt.sh's Atom feed for lighter-weight monitoring: `https://crt.sh/atom?q=%25.example.com` provides real-time notification of new log entries. + +### Step 3: Subdomain Discovery via CT Data + +Extract and validate subdomains found in certificate transparency data: + +- **Wildcard expansion**: Certificates with wildcard SANs (`*.dev.example.com`) reveal the existence of subdomains that may not be in DNS zone files. Record the parent domain as a target for further enumeration. +- **Historical certificate mining**: Query crt.sh without the `exclude=expired` parameter to find subdomains from expired certificates that may still resolve in DNS. These represent historical infrastructure that could be vulnerable to subdomain takeover. +- **DNS validation**: For each discovered subdomain, perform DNS resolution (A, AAAA, CNAME records) to determine if the subdomain is currently active. Cross-reference with known IP ranges to identify shadow IT or unauthorized services. +- **Typosquat detection**: Generate permutations of the monitored domain (bitsquatting, homograph, insertion, omission, transposition, keyboard-adjacent replacement) and query CT logs for certificates issued to these variations. Certificates for typosquat domains strongly indicate phishing infrastructure. +- **Deduplication and enrichment**: Normalize discovered subdomains (lowercase, remove trailing dots), deduplicate, and enrich with WHOIS data, IP geolocation, and HTTP response headers to prioritize investigation. + +### Step 4: Certificate Issuance Alerting + +Configure alerting rules for security-relevant certificate events: + +- **Unauthorized CA alert**: Trigger when a certificate is issued by a CA not in the authorized CA list. This is the highest-priority alert as it may indicate domain hijacking, BGP hijacking for domain validation, or a compromised CA. +- **New subdomain alert**: Trigger when a certificate contains a SAN with a previously unseen subdomain. This catches shadow IT deployments and unauthorized services. +- **Wildcard certificate alert**: Trigger on any new wildcard certificate issuance, as wildcard certificates have broader impact if compromised and their issuance should be tightly controlled. +- **Short-lived certificate anomaly**: Alert when certificates have unusually short validity periods (under 24 hours) that deviate from the organization's normal certificate lifecycle, as this may indicate Let's Encrypt abuse or automated phishing infrastructure. +- **Expiration warning**: Alert when certificates for critical services approach expiration (30, 14, 7 days) based on the `not_after` field from CT log data. +- **Alert delivery**: Send alerts via email (SMTP), Slack webhook, PagerDuty, or write to a SIEM-compatible JSON log format for integration with existing security monitoring. + +### Step 5: CT Log Integrity Verification and Reporting + +Verify log integrity and produce compliance evidence: + +- **Signed Tree Head (STH) monitoring**: Fetch the latest STH from each monitored CT log via the `get-sth` API endpoint. The STH contains the tree size and a signed timestamp. Verify the signature using the log's public key. +- **Consistency proof verification**: Between consecutive STH fetches, request a consistency proof via `get-sth-consistency` to verify the log remains append-only and no entries have been modified or removed. +- **Certificate inventory report**: Produce a complete inventory of all certificates issued for monitored domains, grouped by issuer, with validity status and key strength metrics. +- **CA diversity analysis**: Report on how many different CAs issue certificates for the organization, identifying consolidation opportunities and single-points-of-failure. +- **Compliance evidence**: For organizations subject to PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or similar frameworks, CT monitoring logs provide evidence of certificate lifecycle management and unauthorized issuance detection capabilities. + +## Key Concepts + +| Term | Definition | +|------|------------| +| **Certificate Transparency (CT)** | An open framework (RFC 6962) requiring Certificate Authorities to log all issued certificates in publicly auditable append-only logs, enabling domain owners to detect unauthorized issuance | +| **Signed Certificate Timestamp (SCT)** | A promise from a CT log that a certificate will be included within the Maximum Merge Delay (typically 24 hours); browsers require SCTs from multiple logs before trusting a certificate | +| **Merkle Tree** | The cryptographic data structure used by CT logs where leaf nodes are certificate hashes and parent nodes are hashes of their children, enabling efficient consistency and inclusion proofs | +| **Precertificate** | A certificate submitted to CT logs before final issuance, containing a poison extension (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.4.3) that prevents it from being used for TLS but reserves its place in the log | +| **crt.sh** | A free web service operated by Sectigo that aggregates certificates from all major CT logs into a searchable PostgreSQL database, providing both web and API access | +| **Subdomain Takeover** | A vulnerability where a subdomain's DNS record points to a decommissioned service (cloud provider, CDN) that an attacker can reclaim, made discoverable through expired CT certificates | +| **Maximum Merge Delay (MMD)** | The maximum time (typically 24 hours) a CT log has to incorporate a submitted certificate into its Merkle tree after returning an SCT | +| **CAA Record** | DNS Certification Authority Authorization record that specifies which CAs are permitted to issue certificates for a domain; CT monitoring detects violations of CAA policy | + +## Tools & Systems + +- **crt.sh**: Primary CT log aggregator providing JSON API access at `https://crt.sh/?q=&output=json` with support for wildcard queries, identity filtering, and certificate detail retrieval +- **ct-woodpecker**: Open-source CT log monitoring tool from Let's Encrypt that integrates with Prometheus and Grafana for operational monitoring of log health and consistency +- **certspotter**: SSLMate's CT log monitor that watches for newly issued certificates and sends notifications; available as hosted service or self-hosted tool +- **Google Argon / Xenon / Icarus**: Google-operated CT logs that are among the most widely used, queryable via the RFC 6962 API at their respective log URLs +- **OpenSSL**: Command-line tool for parsing certificate details, verifying chains, and extracting SAN lists from certificates retrieved through CT monitoring + +## Common Scenarios + +### Scenario: Detecting Unauthorized Certificate Issuance for a Financial Services Company + +**Context**: A bank monitors its primary domain (`bank.example.com`) and discovers via CT logs that a certificate has been issued by a CA they have never used, covering `secure-login.bank.example.com` -- a subdomain that does not exist in their DNS. + +**Approach**: +1. CT monitoring agent detects a new certificate from "FreeSSL CA" for `secure-login.bank.example.com` in crt.sh results, which is not in the authorized CA list (DigiCert, Sectigo) +2. Alert fires as unauthorized CA + new subdomain, escalating to the security team within 15 minutes of CT log entry +3. Investigate the certificate: extract the public key, check if the domain validated via HTTP-01 or DNS-01 challenge, query WHOIS for the issuing organization +4. DNS lookup for `secure-login.bank.example.com` reveals it resolves to an IP address in a hosting provider not used by the bank -- confirming this is attacker infrastructure +5. Initiate incident response: request certificate revocation from FreeSSL CA, file a domain abuse report, add the IP to blocklists, and notify the anti-phishing team +6. Implement CAA DNS records (`bank.example.com. CAA 0 issue "digicert.com"`) to prevent unauthorized CAs from issuing future certificates + +**Pitfalls**: +- Not monitoring wildcard patterns (`%.bank.example.com`) and missing certificates for subdomains +- Ignoring precertificates that appear in CT logs before the actual certificate is issued, losing the early warning advantage +- Failing to verify that CAA records are properly configured on all domains after an incident +- Over-alerting on legitimate certificate renewals because the baseline database was not updated after authorized changes + +### Scenario: Attack Surface Mapping Through CT Log Subdomain Discovery + +**Context**: A penetration tester uses CT logs as the first phase of external reconnaissance to map the target organization's internet-facing services before active scanning. + +**Approach**: +1. Query crt.sh for `%.target.com` and all known subsidiary domains, collecting 2,400 unique certificates spanning 8 years +2. Extract 347 unique subdomains from SAN fields across all certificates, including expired ones +3. DNS-resolve all 347 subdomains, finding 189 currently active with A/AAAA records +4. Identify 12 subdomains pointing to decommissioned cloud services (CNAME to S3 buckets, Azure endpoints) that are candidates for subdomain takeover +5. Discover `staging-api.target.com` and `dev-portal.target.com` which are not in the target's documented scope but are reachable and running older software versions +6.

Update to the latest firmware. +- **bleak platform differences**: BLE scanning behavior varies across OS backends. On Linux, scanning requires root or appropriate capabilities. On macOS, device addresses are randomized UUIDs. +- **crackle requires Legacy Pairing**: crackle only works against BLE Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 4.0/4.1). LE Secure Connections (4.2+) use ECDH and cannot be cracked with this approach. +- **BLE address randomization**: Many modern BLE devices use random resolvable private addresses (RPA) that rotate periodically, making device tracking and connection following more difficult. +- **Capture format matters**: Use PCAP with PPI headers (`-c` flag) for crackle compatibility.

Attackers use tools like Responder for LLMNR/NBT-NS/mDNS poisoning, ntlmrelayx (Fox-IT/Impacket) for multi-protocol relay, and coercion techniques like PetitPotam (MS-EFSRPC) and DFSCoerce to force authentication from high-value targets like domain controllers. This skill provides a comprehensive event correlation framework using Windows Security Event 4624 LogonType 3 analysis, IP-to-hostname mismatch detection, Responder traffic identification, SMB/LDAP signing audit, and NTLM downgrade detection to identify relay attacks across Active Directory environments. + +## When to Use + +- Hunting for credential relay activity in Active Directory environments where NTLM authentication is still in use +- Investigating alerts for authentication anomalies where the source IP does not match the expected workstation +- Auditing SMB signing and LDAP signing enforcement to assess exposure to relay attacks +- Detecting NTLM downgrade attacks where NTLMv2 is forced to NTLMv1 for easier offline cracking or relay +- Building SIEM correlation rules for MITRE ATT&CK T1557.001 (LLMNR/NBT-NS Poisoning and SMB Relay) +- Responding to PetitPotam, DFSCoerce, or PrinterBug coercion alerts that may precede relay attacks +- During purple team exercises validating NTLM relay detection and SMB signing enforcement + +**Do not use** without centralized Windows Security Event Log collection, as a substitute for enforcing SMB signing and Extended Protection for Authentication (EPA) which prevent relay attacks at the protocol level, or without an IP-to-hostname inventory for correlation. + +## Prerequisites + +- Windows Advanced Audit Policy configured to capture Event IDs 4624, 4625, 4648, 4776, and 8004 +- Centralized log collection via Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) or agent-based shipping to SIEM +- SIEM platform (Splunk, Elastic, Microsoft Sentinel) with correlation and alerting capability +- IP address to hostname mapping inventory (DHCP logs, DNS records, or CMDB) +- Network monitoring for LLMNR (UDP 5355), NBT-NS (UDP 137), and mDNS (UDP 5353) traffic +- Understanding of MITRE ATT&CK T1557.001 and T1187 (Forced Authentication) + +## Workflow + +### Step 1: Understand NTLM Relay Attack Flow + +The NTLM relay attack follows a three-phase pattern: coercion/poisoning, interception, and relay. + +**Phase 1 -- Coercion or Poisoning**: The attacker forces or tricks a victim into initiating NTLM authentication. Methods include LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning (Responder), PetitPotam (MS-EFSRPC abuse), PrinterBug (SpoolService), and DFSCoerce. + +**Phase 2 -- Interception**: The attacker captures the NTLM Type 1 (Negotiate) and Type 3 (Authenticate) messages from the victim. + +**Phase 3 -- Relay**: The attacker forwards the captured NTLM messages to a target service (SMB, LDAP, HTTP, MSSQL) to authenticate as the victim. This succeeds only when message signing is not enforced. + +``` +Victim ──NTLM Negotiate──> Attacker ──NTLM Negotiate──> Target +Victim <──NTLM Challenge── Attacker <──NTLM Challenge── Target +Victim ──NTLM Authenticate──> Attacker ──NTLM Authenticate──> Target + ↓ + Attacker authenticated + as Victim on Target +``` + +**Key Detection Insight**: In a relay attack, Event 4624 on the target will show the victim's username but the attacker's IP address. The WorkstationName field may still reflect the victim's machine. This IP-to-hostname mismatch is the primary detection signal. + +### Step 2: Event 4624 LogonType 3 Analysis for Relay Detection + +```spl +# Splunk: Detect IP-to-Hostname Mismatches in Network Logons

authentication messages and forwards them to a target service, authenticating as the victim without knowing their password | +| **Event 4624 LogonType 3** | Windows Security Event for successful network logon -- the primary event generated on relay targets; source IP field reveals the relay attacker's address | +| **IP-Hostname Mismatch** | When Event 4624 WorkstationName field does not correspond to the IpAddress field, indicating the authentication was relayed through a third party | +| **Responder** | Attack tool that poisons LLMNR (UDP 5355), NBT-NS (UDP 137), and mDNS (UDP 5353) responses to capture NTLM authentication from victims on the local network | +| **ntlmrelayx** | Fox-IT/Impacket tool that relays captured NTLM authentication to SMB, LDAP, HTTP, MSSQL, and other protocols to gain unauthorized access | +| **SMB Signing** | Cryptographic signing of SMB packets that prevents relay attacks against SMB services; must be set to "Required" (not just "Enabled") for protection | +| **LDAP Signing** | Cryptographic signing of LDAP operations that prevents relay attacks against LDAP services on domain controllers; controlled by LDAPServerIntegrity registry value | +| **LDAP Channel Binding** | Extended Protection for Authentication (EPA) that binds the NTLM authentication to the TLS channel, preventing relay to LDAPS | +| **NTLMv1 Downgrade** | Attack forcing authentication from NTLMv2 to the weaker NTLMv1 protocol, which is easier to crack offline and has weaker relay protections | +| **PetitPotam** | Coercion technique abusing MS-EFSRPC to force a domain controller to authenticate to an attacker-controlled host, enabling relay to AD CS or LDAP | +| **LmCompatibilityLevel** | Registry setting controlling which NTLM version is used; value of 5 (Send NTLMv2 only, refuse LM and NTLM) provides strongest protection | +| **Event 8004** | NTLM operational log event on domain controllers showing all NTLM authentication pass-through, critical for auditing NTLM usage before restriction | + +## Tools & Systems + +| Tool | Purpose | +|------|---------| +| **Splunk / Elastic SIEM** | Log aggregation and correlation for Event 4624 analysis, IP-hostname mismatch detection, and NTLM downgrade monitoring | +| **Microsoft Sentinel** | Cloud SIEM with KQL queries for NTLM relay detection and built-in analytics rules for PetitPotam | +| **CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection** | Detects NTLM relay attacks against domain controller accounts regardless of coercion method used | +| **Responder** | LLMNR/NBT-NS/mDNS poisoning tool used by attackers -- understanding its behavior is essential for detection | +| **ntlmrelayx (Impacket)** | Multi-protocol NTLM relay tool developed by Fox-IT -- used in testing and by adversaries | +| **PingCastle** | Active Directory security assessment tool that audits SMB signing, LDAP signing, and NTLM configuration | +| **Zeek** | Network security monitor for capturing SMB signing negotiation, LLMNR traffic, and DCE-RPC activity | +| **Sigma** | Vendor-agnostic detection rule format for portable NTLM relay detection rules | + +## Common Scenarios + +### Scenario 1: Responder Poisoning with NTLM Relay to File Server + +**Context**: A SOC analyst observes multiple Event 4624 LogonType 3 entries on a file server (10.10.20.100) where the WorkstationName field shows different workstation names but the IpAddress field consistently shows 10.10.5.50, a host not in the IT asset inventory. + +**Approach**: +1. Query Event 4624 on 10.10.20.100 filtered for IpAddress=10.10.5.50: find 15 successful NTLM logons in 30 minutes from 8 different user accounts +2. Cross-reference 10.10.5.50 with DHCP logs and DNS: host is not a registered domain member, MAC address shows a Linux-based NIC +3. Query Zeek network logs for 10.10.5.50: identify LLMNR responses (UDP 5355) to multiple workstations and SMB connections to 10.10.20.100 +4. Confirm IP-hostname mismatch: WorkstationName values (WS-FINANCE01, WS-HR03, etc.) all resolve to different IPs in DNS, not 10.10.5.50 +5. Check SMB signing on 10.10.20.100: RequireSecuritySignature is False, enabling the relay attack +6. Contain: block 10.10.5.50 at the switch, force password reset for all 8 affected accounts, enable SMB signing on the file server +7. Remediate: disable LLMNR and NBT-NS via GPO, enforce SMB signing domain-wide + +**Pitfalls**: +- Dismissing the multiple logons as normal network activity without checking the IP-hostname correlation +- Not checking SMB signing status on the target server to understand why the relay succeeded +- Only resetting the password for one user instead of all accounts that were relayed + +### Scenario 2: PetitPotam Relay to AD Certificate Services + +**Context**: During a threat hunt, an analyst finds Event 4624 LogonType 3 on the AD CS server (ADCS01) showing the domain controller machine account (DC01$) authenticating via NTLM from IP 10.10.5.50, which is not the DC's IP address (10.10.1.10). + +**Approach**: +1. Confirm the anomaly: DC01$ should only authenticate from 10.10.1.10, but Event 4624 shows authentication from 10.10.5.50 via NTLM (not Kerberos) +2. Check for certificate enrollment: query AD CS logs for certificate requests from DC01$ around the same timestamp -- find a certificate issued for DC01$ +3. Identify the attack: PetitPotam coerced DC01 to authenticate to 10.10.5.50, which relayed the authentication to ADCS01 to request a certificate for DC01$ +4. Assess impact: with a DC certificate, the attacker can authenticate as DC01$ and perform DCSync to extract all domain credentials +5. Revoke the fraudulently issued certificate immediately +6. Check for DCSync activity: query Event 4662 for directory replication from non-DC sources +7. Contain: isolate 10.10.5.50, revoke certificate, patch EFS (MS-EFSRPC), enforce EPA on AD CS, require LDAP signing on all DCs + +**Pitfalls**: +- Not recognizing that machine account NTLM authentication from an unexpected IP is a critical indicator of coercion + relay +- Failing to check AD CS for fraudulent certificate issuance, which represents the actual objective of the attack +- Not auditing LDAP signing and EPA on AD CS servers, which would have prevented the relay + +## Output Format + +``` +Hunt ID: TH-NTLM-RELAY-[DATE]-[SEQ] +Alert Severity: Critical +MITRE Technique: T1557.001 (LLMNR/NBT-NS Poisoning and SMB Relay) + +Relay Indicators: + Victim Account: [Domain\Username or Machine$] + WorkstationName: [Victim hostname from Event 4624] + Expected Source IP: [IP matching WorkstationName in DNS/DHCP] + Actual Source IP: [Attacker/relay IP from Event 4624 IpAddress field] + Target Host: [Server receiving the relayed authentication] + +Authentication Details: + Event ID: 4624 + LogonType: 3 (Network) + AuthenticationPackage: NTLM + LmPackageName: [NTLM V1 or NTLM V2] + LogonProcess: [NtLmSsp] + Timestamp: [Event time] + +Signing Status: + Target SMB Signing: [Required/Not Required] + Target LDAP Signing: [Required/Not Required] + LDAP Channel Binding: [Required/Not Required] + +Poisoning Evidence: + LLMNR Activity: [Detected/Not Detected from relay IP] + NBT-NS Activity: [Detected/Not Detected from relay IP] + Coercion Method: [PetitPotam/DFSCoerce/PrinterBug/Unknown] + +Risk Assessment: [Critical - relay from DC / High - relay from user account] +Recommended Actions: + - Immediate: [Block relay IP, reset affected credentials] + - Short-term: [Enable SMB/LDAP signing, disable LLMNR/NBT-NS] + - Long-term: [Migrate to Kerberos, enforce EPA, restrict NTLM via GPO] +``` diff --git a/skills/detecting-ntlm-relay-with-event-correlation/references/api-reference.md b/skills/detecting-ntlm-relay-with-event-correlation/references/api-reference.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6fdaad3f --- /dev/null +++ b/skills/detecting-ntlm-relay-with-event-correlation/references/api-reference.md @@ -0,0 +1,157 @@ +# NTLM Relay Detection API Reference + +## MITRE ATT&CK Mapping + +| Technique | ID | Description | +|-----------|----|-------------| +| LLMNR/NBT-NS Poisoning and SMB Relay | T1557.001 | Poisoning name resolution to capture and relay NTLM auth | +| Forced Authentication | T1187 | Coercing systems to authenticate (PetitPotam, PrinterBug) | +| Adversary-in-the-Middle | T1557 | Parent technique for relay and poisoning attacks | +| Exploitation for Credential Access | T1212 | Exploiting protocol weaknesses for credential theft | + +## Windows Security Event IDs for NTLM Relay Detection + +| Event ID | Log | Relay Significance | +|----------|-----|--------------------| +| 4624 (Type 3) | Security | Network logon -- primary relay detection event.

Do not use for bulk automated takedown requests without manual review of flagged packages. Do not use against private registries without authorization. + +## Prerequisites + +- Python 3.9+ with `requests` and `python-Levenshtein` (or `rapidfuzz`) packages installed +- Network access to `https://pypi.org/pypi//json` (PyPI JSON API) and `https://registry.npmjs.org/` (npm registry API) +- A list of popular or critical packages to monitor (e.g., top 1000 PyPI packages, organization's dependency list) +- Understanding of common typosquatting patterns: character omission, transposition, insertion, substitution, and hyphen/underscore manipulation + +## Workflow + +### Step 1: Build the Target Package Watchlist + +Establish the set of legitimate packages to monitor for typosquats: + +- **Extract project dependencies**: Parse `requirements.txt`, `Pipfile.lock`, `package.json`, or `package-lock.json` to extract all direct and transitive dependency names +- **Include popular packages**: Supplement with high-value targets from the top 1000 PyPI downloads (available from `https://hugovk.github.io/top-pypi-packages/`) or top npm packages by download count +- **Add organization packages**: Include any packages published by your organization that attackers might target with typosquats to intercept internal installations +- **Normalize names**: PyPI treats hyphens, underscores, and periods as equivalent (PEP 503 normalization: `re.sub(r"[-_.]+", "-", name).lower()`). npm package names are case-sensitive but scoped packages use `@scope/name` format. Normalize before comparison. + +### Step 2: Generate Candidate Typosquat Names + +Produce potential typosquat variants for each target package: + +- **Character omission**: Remove each character one at a time (`requests` -> `rquests`, `requets`, `reqests`) +- **Character transposition**: Swap adjacent characters (`requests` -> `erquests`, `rqeuests`, `reques ts`) +- **Character substitution**: Replace characters with keyboard-adjacent keys using a QWERTY distance map (`requests` -> `rrquests`, `requesta`) +- **Character insertion**: Insert common characters at each position (`requests` -> `rrequests`, `reqquests`) +- **Separator manipulation**: For hyphenated names, try removing, doubling, or replacing separators (`my-package` -> `mypackage`, `my--package`, `my_package`) +- **Common prefix/suffix attacks**: Prepend or append common strings (`python-requests`, `requests-python`, `requests2`, `requests-lib`) + +### Step 3: Query Registry APIs for Candidate Packages + +Check whether generated candidate names actually exist in the registry: + +- **PyPI JSON API**: Send `GET https://pypi.org/pypi//json` for each candidate. A `200` response means the package exists; `404` means it does not. Extract from the response: `info.name`, `info.version`, `info.author`, `info.summary`, `info.home_page`, `info.project_urls`, and `releases` (keyed by version with `upload_time_iso_8601` timestamps). +- **npm registry API**: Send `GET https://registry.npmjs.org/` with `Accept: application/json`. Extract: `name`, `description`, `dist-tags.latest`, `time.created`, `time.modified`, `maintainers`, and `versions`. +- **Rate limiting**: PyPI has no published rate limits but respect reasonable request rates (1-2 requests/second). npm registry returns `429` when rate limited; implement exponential backoff. +- **Batch optimization**: For large candidate lists, parallelize requests with connection pooling (`requests.Session`) and limit concurrency to avoid triggering abuse protections. + +### Step 4: Analyze Package Metadata for Suspicion Signals + +Score each existing candidate package against multiple heuristic signals: + +- **Levenshtein distance**: Calculate the edit distance between the candidate name and the target. Packages with distance 1-2 from a popular package are high-priority suspects. Historical analysis shows 18 of 40 known typosquats had Levenshtein distance of 2 or less from their targets. +- **Publish date recency**: Compare the candidate's first publish date against the target's. A package created years after its near-namesake is more suspicious. Flag packages created within the last 90 days that are similar to packages published years ago. +- **Download count disparity**: Compare weekly downloads. Legitimate similarly-named packages typically have comparable or explainable download counts. A package with 50 downloads versus its near-namesake with 5 million downloads is suspicious. PyPI download stats are available via BigQuery (`pypistats.org/api/`); npm provides download counts at `https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-week/`. +- **Author and maintainer analysis**: Check if the candidate package author matches the legitimate package author. Different authors for near-identical names increase suspicion. +- **Description similarity**: Compare package descriptions. Typosquats frequently copy or closely paraphrase the target package description to appear legitimate. +- **Version count**: Legitimate packages typically have many versions over time. A package with only 1-2 versions and a name similar to a popular package is suspicious. +- **Repository URL analysis**: Check if the candidate links to the same repository as the target (likely legitimate fork/mirror) or has no repository URL (suspicious). + +### Step 5: Score, Rank, and Report Findings + +Combine signals into a composite risk score and generate an actionable report: + +- **Weighted scoring**: Assign weights to each signal. Example: Levenshtein distance 1 = 40 points, Levenshtein distance 2 = 25 points, created < 90 days ago = 15 points, download ratio < 0.001 = 15 points, different author = 10 points, single version = 5 points. Total score out of 100. +- **Threshold classification**: Score >= 70: HIGH risk (likely typosquat), 40-69: MEDIUM risk (requires manual review), < 40: LOW risk (likely legitimate) +- **Generate report**: For each flagged package, include the target it mimics, all signal values, the composite score, direct links to both packages on the registry, and a recommendation (block, investigate, or allow) +- **Actionable output**: Produce a blocklist of flagged package names that can be imported into package manager deny-lists, CI/CD policy engines, or artifact repository proxy rules + +## Key Concepts + +| Term | Definition | +|------|------------| +| **Typosquatting** | Registering a package name that closely resembles a popular package, exploiting common typos to trick developers into installing malicious code | +| **Levenshtein Distance** | The minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions, substitutions) required to transform one string into another; the primary metric for measuring name similarity | +| **Dependency Confusion** | A broader supply chain attack where attackers publish malicious packages to public registries with names matching private internal packages, exploiting package manager resolution order | +| **PEP 503 Normalization** | The Python packaging specification that treats hyphens, underscores, and periods as equivalent in package names, meaning `my-package`, `my_package`, and `my.package` resolve to the same package | +| **QWERTY Distance** | A keyboard-layout-aware distance metric measuring how far apart two keys are on a standard keyboard, used to detect substitutions from adjacent key mistyping | +| **Combosquatting** | A variant of typosquatting where attackers prepend or append common words to a package name (e.g., `requests-security`, `python-requests`) | +| **StarJacking** | An attack where a typosquat package links its repository URL to the legitimate package's GitHub repository to inflate apparent credibility | + +## Tools & Systems + +- **PyPI JSON API**: REST API at `https://pypi.org/pypi//json` returning package metadata including name, author, versions, upload timestamps, and project URLs +- **npm Registry API**: REST API at `https://registry.npmjs.org/` returning package metadata including maintainers, version history, creation timestamps, and distribution info +- **python-Levenshtein / rapidfuzz**: Python libraries for fast string distance computation, supporting Levenshtein, Damerau-Levenshtein, Jaro-Winkler, and other similarity metrics +- **pypistats.org API**: Provides download statistics for PyPI packages, enabling download count comparison between suspected typosquats and their targets +- **npm download counts API**: Endpoint at `https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point//` providing download statistics for npm packages + +## Common Scenarios + +### Scenario: Auditing a Python Project for Typosquatted Dependencies + +**Context**: A security team discovers that a developer's workstation was compromised after installing a Python package.

Each has distinct forensic artifacts. + +**MMC20.Application** -- The attacker instantiates the MMC snap-in remotely and calls `ExecuteShellCommand` to run arbitrary commands on the target.

to identify live hosts, technologies, and services. + +```bash +# HTTP probing with technology detection +cat combined_subdomains.txt | httpx -sc -cl -ct -title -tech-detect \ + -follow-redirects

-json -o httpx_detailed.json +``` + +### Phase 3: Shodan Asset Discovery + +Query Shodan for exposed services, open ports, and known vulnerabilities +associated with discovered assets. + +```python +import shodan + +api = shodan.Shodan("YOUR_SHODAN_API_KEY") + +# Search by organization +results = api.search("org:\"Example Corp\"") +for service in results["matches"]: + print(f"{service['ip_str']}:{service['port']} - {service.get('product', 'unknown')}") + if service.get("vulns"): + for cve in service["vulns"]: + print(f" CVE: {cve}") + +# Search by hostname +results

+print(f"IP: {host['ip_str']}") +print(f"Ports: {host['ports']}") +print(f"Vulns: {host.get('vulns', [])}") +``` + +### Phase 4: Censys Asset Discovery + +Use Censys to discover internet-facing assets through certificate and host search. + +```python +from censys.search import CensysHosts, CensysCerts + +# Host search +hosts = CensysHosts() +query = hosts.search("services.tls.certificates.leaf.subject.common_name: example.com") +for page in query: + for host in page: + print(f"IP: {host['ip']}") + for service in host.get("services", []): +

6: Exposure Scoring Algorithm + +Score each asset based on OWASP attack surface analysis principles, using +a weighted formula derived from the Relative Attack Surface Quotient (RSQ) +and damage-potential-to-effort ratio. + +The scoring algorithm considers: +1. **Open ports and services** - weighted by service risk (management ports score higher) +2. **Known vulnerabilities** - weighted by CVSS score +3. **Technology age** - outdated software increases score +4. **Exposure level** - internet-facing vs. authenticated access +5. **Data sensitivity** - based on service type and content indicators + +```python +# Exposure Score = sum of weighted factors, normalized to 0-100 +# See agent.py for the full implementation +``` + +## Examples + +```bash +# Run complete ASM pipeline

Regulations require that the decryption and tokenization of PHI never occurs on an instance accessible to operators.

Create a KMS key with a key policy that includes a `kms:RecipientAttestation:ImageSha384` condition matching PCR0, allowing only this specific enclave build to decrypt patient records +4. Deploy the parent instance with an IAM role that has `kms:Decrypt` on the key, but the KMS condition ensures decryption only succeeds inside the attested enclave +5. The parent application receives encrypted patient records over HTTPS, passes them to the enclave over vsock port 5000, and receives tokenized records back +6. The enclave requests an attestation document from the NSM, attaches it to the KMS Decrypt call, receives the plaintext encrypted to its ephemeral RSA key, decrypts locally, tokenizes PII (SSN, DOB, name), and returns `{ssn: "tok_a8f3...", dob: "tok_b2e1...", name: "tok_c9d4..."}` +7.

Unlike signature-based detection, canary tokens detect +attackers by their behavior (accessing bait resources) rather than matching known patterns. + +### Token Types for Network Intrusion Detection + +| Token Type | Trigger Mechanism | Best Placement | Detection Scenario | +|------------|-------------------|----------------|-------------------| +| DNS Token | DNS resolution of FQDN | Config files, scripts, internal docs | Attacker reads configs during recon | +| HTTP Token | HTTP GET to unique URL | Internal wikis, bookmark files, HTML | Attacker browses internal resources | +| AWS API Key | AWS API call with fake creds | `.aws/credentials`, env files, repos | Attacker tests found credentials | +| Cloned Site | Visit to cloned page | Internal portals, admin panels | Attacker accesses cloned services | +| SVN Token | SVN checkout | Repository configs | Attacker clones repositories | +| SQL Server | Database login attempt | Connection strings, config files | Attacker attempts DB access | + +### Alert Flow Architecture + +``` +[Attacker Action] --> [Token Triggered] --> [Canarytokens Server] + | + [Webhook POST] + | + +-------------------------+-------------------------+ + | | | + [Slack Alert] [Email Alert] [SIEM Ingestion] + | | | + [SOC Analyst] [On-Call Page] [Correlation Rule] +``` + +## Instructions + +### Step 1: Generate DNS Canary Tokens + +DNS tokens are the most versatile -- they trigger on any DNS resolution, even from +air-gapped networks with only DNS egress. The token is an FQDN that, when resolved, +alerts the token owner. + +```python +import requests + +# Create DNS canary token via Canarytokens.org +response = requests.post("https://canarytokens.org/generate", data={ + "type": "dns", + "email": "soc@company.com", + "memo": "Production database server - /etc/app/db.conf", + "webhook_url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../xxx" +}, timeout=15) + +token_data = response.json() +dns_hostname = token_data["hostname"] +# Example: abc123def456.canarytokens.com +``` + +Plant DNS tokens in locations attackers commonly inspect: +- `/etc/hosts` entries pointing to the canary FQDN +- Application configuration files (`database_host`, `backup_server`) +- SSH config files (`~/.ssh/config`) with canary hostnames +- Internal DNS zone files as decoy A records +- CI/CD pipeline environment variables + +### Step 2: Deploy HTTP Canary Tokens + +HTTP tokens generate a unique URL that triggers on any HTTP request. They reveal the +source IP, User-Agent, and other HTTP headers of the requester. + +```python +# Create HTTP token +response = requests.post("https://canarytokens.org/generate", data={ + "type": "http", + "email": "soc@company.com", + "memo": "Internal wiki - IT admin passwords page", + "webhook_url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../xxx" +}, timeout=15) + +http_url = response.json()["url"] +# Embed in internal HTML pages, documents, or bookmark files +``` + +Placement strategies for HTTP tokens: +- Hidden `` tags in internal wiki pages with sensitive titles +- URL shortener redirects in shared bookmark collections +- Links in internal documentation labeled "admin credentials" or "VPN configs" +- `.url` or `.webloc` shortcut files in network shares +- Browser bookmark exports in user profile backups + +### Step 3: Create AWS API Key Tokens + +AWS key tokens are among the highest-fidelity canary tokens. They generate real-looking +AWS access keys that trigger an alert whenever anyone attempts to use them against any +AWS API endpoint. + +```python +# Create AWS API key canary token +response = requests.post("https://canarytokens.org/generate", data={ + "type": "aws_keys", + "email": "soc@company.com", + "memo": "DevOps jump box - /home/deploy/.aws/credentials", + "webhook_url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../xxx" +}, timeout=15) + +aws_token = response.json() +access_key_id = aws_token["access_key_id"] +secret_access_key = aws_token["secret_access_key"] +``` + +Deploy the fake credentials: +```ini +# Place in ~/.aws/credentials on honeypot or jump servers +[default] +aws_access_key_id = AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE +aws_secret_access_key = wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY +region = us-east-1 + +# Also plant in: +# - .env files in code repositories +# - Docker environment configurations +# - Terraform state files (decoy) +# - Jenkins/CI credential stores +``` + +### Step 4: Configure Webhook Alert Integration + +Set up real-time alerting to your SOC through multiple channels: + +```python +# Slack webhook integration +def send_slack_alert(webhook_url, alert_data): + """Forward canary token alert to Slack channel.""" + payload = { + "text": f":rotating_light: *Canary Token Triggered*", + "attachments": [{ + "color": "#FF0000", + "fields": [ + {"title": "Token Memo", "value": alert_data.get("memo", "Unknown"), "short": True}, + {"title": "Source IP", "value": alert_data.get("src_ip", "Unknown"), "short": True}, + {"title": "Token Type", "value": alert_data.get("channel", "Unknown"), "short": True}, + {"title": "Triggered At", "value": alert_data.get("time", "Unknown"), "short": True}, + ], + "footer": "Canarytokens Alert System", + }] + } + requests.post(webhook_url, json=payload, timeout=10) +``` + +```python +# Generic webhook receiver (Flask) for SIEM ingestion +from flask import Flask, request, jsonify +import json, logging + +app = Flask(__name__) +logging.basicConfig(filename="/var/log/canary_alerts.json", level=logging.INFO) + +@app.route("/canary-webhook", methods=["POST"]) +def receive_alert(): + alert = request.json or request.form.to_dict() + logging.info(json.dumps({ + "event_type": "canarytoken_triggered", + "memo": alert.get("memo"), + "src_ip": alert.get("src_ip"), + "token_type": alert.get("channel"), + "time": alert.get("time"), + "manage_url": alert.get("manage_url"), + "additional_data": alert.get("additional_data", {}), + })) + return jsonify({"status": "received"}), 200 +``` + +### Step 5: Enterprise Deployment with Thinkst Canary API + +For organizations using Thinkst Canary, leverage the API for mass deployment and +centralized management: + +```python +import canarytools + +# Connect to Thinkst Canary console +console = canarytools.Console( + domain="yourcompany", + api_key="your_api_auth_token" +) + +# Create tokens programmatically at scale +token_types = { + "dns": "DNS beacon in config files", + "aws-id": "AWS credentials on jump servers", + "http": "Web bug in internal documentation", + "doc-msword": "Word document in finance share", + "slack-api": "Fake Slack bot token in source code", +} + +for kind, memo in token_types.items(): + result = console.tokens.create(memo=memo, kind=kind) + print(f"[+] Created {kind} token: {result}") + +# Monitor for triggered alerts +alerts = console.tokens.alerts() +for alert in alerts: + print(f"[ALERT] {alert.memo} triggered from {alert.src_ip}") +``` + +### Step 6: Token Placement Strategy by Network Zone + +**DMZ / Public-Facing:** +- HTTP tokens in admin panel login pages (hidden image tag) +- DNS tokens in web server configuration files +- AWS keys in `.env` files on staging servers + +**Internal Network / Corporate:** +- DNS tokens in Active Directory Group Policy scripts +- AWS keys in developer workstation backup directories +- HTTP tokens in internal SharePoint/Confluence pages titled "Emergency Credentials" +- Word document tokens in network shares (`\\fileserver\IT\passwords.docx`) + +**Production / Data Center:** +- DNS tokens in database configuration files +- AWS keys in CI/CD environment variables +- SQL Server tokens in connection strings on application servers +- SVN/Git tokens in repository configuration files + +**Cloud Infrastructure:** +- AWS key tokens in S3 bucket policies (decoy) +- DNS tokens in CloudFormation/Terraform templates +- HTTP tokens in Lambda function environment variables +- Cloned-site tokens mimicking cloud admin consoles + +## Examples + +### Full Deployment Script + +```python +# Deploy a comprehensive canary token network +python scripts/agent.py --action full_deploy \ + --email

Labels persist with the content and travel with files when shared externally. | +| **Sensitive Information Type (SIT)** | A pattern-based classifier that detects specific data patterns (credit card numbers, SSNs, custom regex) in content. Each SIT has a confidence level (low/medium/high) determined by primary pattern match plus corroborating evidence (keywords, proximity). | +| **DLP Policy** | A set of rules that detect sensitive information in Microsoft 365 locations (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Endpoints) and apply protective actions (audit, warn with override, block) based on the sensitivity of matched content and the sharing context. | +| **Endpoint DLP** | Extension of DLP protection to managed Windows and macOS devices that monitors and controls file operations including copy-to-USB, print, upload-to-cloud, copy-to-clipboard, and access by unallowed applications for files containing sensitive information. | +| **Activity Explorer** | A monitoring dashboard in Microsoft Purview that displays a historical view (up to 30 days) of labeled content activities, DLP policy matches, and user interactions with classified data across all monitored locations. | +| **Auto-Labeling** | Service-side automatic classification that applies sensitivity labels to documents and emails matching specified SIT patterns without requiring user interaction. Runs in simulation mode first to preview matches before enforcement. | +| **Content Marking** | Visual indicators (headers, footers, watermarks) applied by sensitivity labels to documents and emails. Markings persist in the file and are visible when printed or shared, serving as a visual classification reminder. | +| **DLP Alert** | A notification generated when a DLP rule match meets the configured severity threshold. Alerts appear in the Microsoft Purview DLP alerts dashboard and can be routed to Microsoft Sentinel or other SIEM platforms. | + +## Tools & Systems + +- **Microsoft Purview Compliance Portal**: Web-based administration interface for creating and managing sensitivity labels, DLP policies, auto-labeling rules, and reviewing Activity Explorer data and DLP alerts. +- **Security & Compliance PowerShell**: PowerShell module (Connect-IPPSSession) providing cmdlets for programmatic management of labels (New-Label, Set-Label), label policies (New-LabelPolicy), DLP policies (New-DlpCompliancePolicy, New-DlpComplianceRule), and sensitive information types. +- **Microsoft Graph Security API**: REST API providing programmatic access to DLP alerts (security/alerts_v2), data classification insights, and protection scope evaluation for integrating Purview DLP with custom applications and SIEM platforms. +- **Microsoft Intune**: Endpoint management platform used to onboard Windows and macOS devices to endpoint DLP, deploy configuration profiles, and manage device compliance states. +- **Microsoft Sentinel**: Cloud-native SIEM that ingests DLP alerts and audit logs from Microsoft Purview via the Microsoft 365 Defender data connector for correlation with other security events and automated incident response. +- **Unified Audit Log**: Microsoft 365 audit service recording all DLP policy match events (RecordType "DLP") with detailed match metadata for compliance reporting and forensic investigation. + +## Common Scenarios + +### Scenario: Protecting Financial Data Across a Multinational Organization + +**Context**: A financial services company with 15,000 users across 12 countries needs to prevent credit card numbers, bank account details, and financial statements from being shared externally through email, Teams, SharePoint, and endpoint file operations. The company must comply with PCI-DSS and GDPR. + +**Approach**: +1. Design a four-tier sensitivity label taxonomy: Public, Internal, Confidential (with sub-labels for Finance, Legal, HR), and Highly Confidential. Publish labels to all users with "Internal" as the default label and mandatory labeling enabled for email. +2. Create a DLP policy "PCI-DSS Financial Data Protection" scoped to all Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Endpoint locations. Configure two rules: a warning rule for 1-4 credit card numbers (notify user, allow override with justification) and a blocking rule for 5+ credit card numbers (block external sharing, generate incident report to compliance team). +3. Deploy endpoint DLP with rules blocking copy-to-USB and upload-to-unapproved-cloud for any file containing credit card numbers or labeled "Confidential - Finance". Allow printing with audit logging. Configure approved USB device exceptions for encrypted corporate drives by vendor/product ID. +4. Create auto-labeling policies that scan existing SharePoint finance sites and OneDrive locations, automatically applying "Confidential - Finance" to documents matching credit card number or bank account number SITs with confidence level 85+. +5. Run all policies in simulation mode for 14 days. Review Activity Explorer for false positive rates, override patterns, and unprotected sensitive content locations. Tune SIT confidence thresholds from 75 to 85 on the credit card SIT after identifying false positives from partial number sequences in meeting notes. +6. Switch to enforcement mode after stakeholder sign-off. Configure DLP alerts with Microsoft Sentinel integration for real-time incident correlation. Schedule monthly Activity Explorer reviews to track policy effectiveness metrics. + +**Pitfalls**: +- Deploying DLP policies in enforcement mode without simulation, causing mass blocking of legitimate business communications and user productivity disruption +- Using low confidence thresholds (65) for SITs, generating excessive false positives that erode user trust and lead to policy override fatigue +- Not configuring endpoint DLP exceptions for approved encrypted USB devices, blocking legitimate data transfers to authorized external parties +- Forgetting to publish sensitivity labels via a label policy after creation, resulting in labels being invisible to end users in Office applications +- Not coordinating auto-labeling deployment with document library owners, leading to unexpected label changes on existing content that alter access permissions + +### Scenario: Implementing Custom DLP for Intellectual Property Protection + +**Context**: A pharmaceutical company needs to prevent research data identified by internal project codes (format: RX-YYYY-NNNN) and compound identifiers from being shared outside the research department. The data appears in lab reports, research presentations, and email communications. + +**Approach**: +1. Create a custom sensitive information type using regex `RX-20[2-3][0-9]-[0-9]{4}` with corroborating keywords ("compound", "trial", "formulation", "assay", "efficacy") within 300-character proximity. Set primary pattern at 85% confidence and keyword-corroborated pattern at 95%. +2. Create a second custom SIT for compound identifiers using regex `CPD-[A-Z]{3}-[0-9]{5}` with keywords ("molecule", "synthesis", "pharmacokinetics") for higher confidence matching. +3. Deploy a DLP policy scoped to the Research department's Exchange distribution list, SharePoint research site collection, and research team OneDrive accounts. Block external sharing, block forwarding to non-research internal users, and generate alerts for the research compliance officer. +4. Configure endpoint DLP to prevent copy-to-USB and screen capture of documents containing the custom SITs on research department laptops. Allow printing only to approved secure printers in the research facility. +5. Create a sensitivity label "Highly Confidential - Research" with encryption restricting access to the Research security group. Configure auto-labeling to apply this label to documents matching either custom SIT. +6. Monitor Activity Explorer weekly for 30 days post-deployment. The compliance team identifies that the RX-YYYY-NNNN regex matches historical project codes in archived documents. Refine the regex to `RX-202[4-6]-[0-9]{4}` to target only active project codes and reduce false positives by 60%. + +**Pitfalls**: +- Using positional regex anchors (^ and $) in custom SITs, which do not work as expected in Microsoft Purview regex evaluation and cause pattern match failures +- Setting MinCount too low (1) for the project code SIT without keyword corroboration, matching isolated instances in general business correspondence that happen to follow the same format +- Not testing the custom SIT against a representative sample corpus before deploying the DLP policy, missing edge cases in the regex pattern +- Scoping the policy too broadly (entire organization) instead of targeting the research department, causing alerts on legitimate references to project codes in executive summaries + +## Output Format + +``` +## DLP Policy Deployment Report + +**Policy Name**: PCI-DSS Financial Data Protection +**Deployment Date**: 2026-03-19 +**Current Mode**: Simulation (TestWithNotifications) +**Locations**: Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Teams, Endpoints + +--- + +### Simulation Results (14-Day Period) + +**Total Policy Matches**: 4,287 +**Unique Users Affected**: 892 +**Unique Files/Messages**: 3,641 + +| Rule | Matches | Action | Override Rate | +|------|---------|--------|---------------| +| Block Bulk Credit Card Sharing (5+) | 47 | Block | N/A | +| Warn on Credit Card Sharing (1-4) | 4,240 | Warn | 12.3% | + +### Sensitive Information Type Breakdown + +| SIT | Matches | Avg Confidence | False Positive Est. | +|-----|---------|----------------|---------------------| +| Credit Card Number | 3,891 | 87% | 8.2% | +| U.S. Bank Account Number | 312 | 82% | 15.1% | +| ABA Routing Number | 84 | 79% | 22.6% | + +### Recommendations + +1. **Enable enforcement** for "Block Bulk Credit Card Sharing" rule - + 47 matches are all true positives involving bulk credit card data in + spreadsheet attachments. + +2. **Increase confidence threshold** for ABA Routing Number from 75 to 85 - + 22.6% false positive rate driven by 9-digit numbers in invoice references + matching the routing number pattern. + +3. **Add file type exception** for password-protected ZIP attachments that + trigger false positives when the credit card SIT matches encrypted content + metadata. + +4. **Deploy endpoint DLP** in audit mode for 7 additional days before + enabling block actions on USB copy and cloud upload. + +--- + +### DLP Alert Summary (Last 7 Days) + +| Severity | Count | Top Policy | Top User | +|----------|-------|------------|----------| +| High | 12 | Financial Data Protection | j.smith@contoso.com | +| Medium | 89 | IP Protection - Research | r.chen@contoso.com | +| Low | 234 | General PII Protection | (distributed) | + +### Activity Explorer Insights + +- Peak DLP match activity: Monday 09:00-11:00 UTC (weekly report distribution) +- Top matched location: Finance SharePoint site (62% of all matches) +- Most overridden rule: "Warn on Credit Card Sharing" (523 overrides, 12.3%) +- Override justification analysis: 78% "Business requirement", 15% "False positive", + 7% "Other" +``` diff --git a/skills/implementing-data-loss-prevention-with-microsoft-purview/references/api-reference.md b/skills/implementing-data-loss-prevention-with-microsoft-purview/references/api-reference.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c0991fb3 --- /dev/null +++ b/skills/implementing-data-loss-prevention-with-microsoft-purview/references/api-reference.md @@ -0,0 +1,112 @@ +# API Reference: Microsoft Purview DLP Management Agent + +## Overview + +Automates Microsoft Purview DLP monitoring and compliance reporting through the Microsoft Graph Security API.

subject. + +```python +from agent import PIIDiscoveryEngine + +pii_engine = PIIDiscoveryEngine() + +# Scan structured data (database) +db_results = pii_engine.scan_database( +

reviewer.apply_redactions(mapped_data, review_result["exemptions"]) +print(f"Applied {review_result['exemption_count']} exemptions") +``` + +### Step 5: Response Generation + +Generate a compliant DSAR response package with cover letter, data export, +and supplementary information document. + +```python +from agent import DSARResponseGenerator + +generator =

The RP ID must be a registrable domain suffix of the origin -- for example, `example.com` is valid for `https://auth.example.com` but `other.com` is not. +- **Initialize Fido2Server**: Instantiate the `Fido2Server` class from the python-fido2 library with the RP entity. The server handles challenge generation, attestation verification, and assertion validation. +- **Configure attestation preference**: Set the attestation conveyance preference to control whether the server requests proof of the authenticator's identity: + - `none`: No attestation requested (simplest, recommended for most deployments) + - `indirect`: Attestation may be provided but CA may anonymize it + - `direct`: Full attestation chain from the authenticator's manufacturer + - `enterprise`: Device-identifying attestation for managed environments +- **Session management**: Configure server-side sessions to store WebAuthn state between the begin and complete phases of registration/authentication ceremonies. Use secure, httponly cookies with SameSite=Strict. +- **Credential storage**: Design the database schema to store credential records: `credential_id` (binary), `public_key` (COSE key), `sign_count` (uint32 for clone detection), `user_id`, `created_at`, `last_used`, `display_name`, and `transports` (USB, NFC, BLE, internal). + +### Step 2: Registration Ceremony (Credential Creation) + +Implement the WebAuthn registration flow to create new credentials: + +- **Begin registration**: Call `server.register_begin()` with the user entity (`PublicKeyCredentialUserEntity` containing user ID, username, and display name), the list of existing credentials for the user (to prevent duplicate registration), and options for `user_verification` and `authenticator_attachment`. +- **Authenticator selection criteria**: + - `authenticator_attachment: cross-platform` restricts to roaming authenticators (USB/NFC keys) + - `authenticator_attachment: platform` restricts to built-in authenticators (Touch ID, Windows Hello) + - Omitting this field allows both types + - `resident_key: required` forces creation of a discoverable credential (passkey) stored on the authenticator + - `user_verification: required` enforces PIN or biometric verification on the authenticator +- **Client-side ceremony**: The browser calls `navigator.credentials.create()` with the options from the server. The authenticator generates a new key pair, stores the private key in its secure element, and returns the public key, credential ID, attestation object, and client data JSON. +- **Complete registration**: Call `server.register_complete()` with the saved state and the client response. The server verifies the attestation signature, extracts the credential public key and ID, and returns `AuthenticatorData` containing the credential data to store. +- **Store credential**: Persist the `credential_data` (contains `credential_id`, `public_key` as COSE key, and `sign_count`) to the database associated with the user account. + +### Step 3: Authentication Ceremony (Assertion) + +Implement the WebAuthn authentication flow to verify credentials: + +- **Begin authentication**: Call `server.authenticate_begin()` with the list of registered credentials for the user (or omit for discoverable credential flows where the authenticator identifies the user). Set `user_verification` based on the assurance level required. +- **Client-side assertion**: The browser calls `navigator.credentials.get()` with the server options. The authenticator locates the matching credential, performs user verification if required, increments the signature counter, and signs the challenge with the private key. +- **Complete authentication**: Call `server.authenticate_complete()` with the saved state, registered credentials, and the client response. The server verifies the assertion signature against the stored public key and validates the signature counter has incremented (clone detection). +- **Update sign count**: After successful authentication, update the stored `sign_count` for the credential. If the new sign count is not greater than the stored value, the key may have been cloned -- flag this as a security event. +- **Discoverable credential flow**: For passwordless authentication, the user does not need to enter a username first. The authenticator presents all discoverable credentials for the RP ID, and the selected credential's `userHandle` identifies the user. + +### Step 4: YubiKey Enrollment and Management + +Implement organizational YubiKey provisioning workflows: + +- **PIN initialization**: Before first use, a YubiKey requires a FIDO2 PIN (minimum 4 characters, 8 retries before lockout). Guide users through PIN setup using the Yubico Authenticator application or programmatically via the CTAP2 `clientPin` command. +- **Primary key enrollment**: Register the user's primary YubiKey with their account. Store the credential with a user-friendly label (e.g., "USB-A YubiKey - Office") and the authenticator's AAGUID for device identification. +- **Backup key enrollment**: Require users to register at least two security keys. The backup key should be stored separately (home, safety deposit box). Both keys must be registered to the same account so either can authenticate. +- **Key attestation verification**: For enterprise deployments, verify the attestation certificate chain to confirm the key is a genuine YubiKey from Yubico. Compare the AAGUID against Yubico's published values to identify the exact model. +- **Key lifecycle management**: Implement administrative functions to list a user's registered keys, revoke compromised keys, force re-enrollment, and audit key usage patterns (last authentication time, total authentications). + +### Step 5: Passkey Migration Strategy + +Plan and execute migration from passwords to passkeys: + +- **Phased rollout**: Begin with voluntary passkey enrollment alongside existing password authentication. Track adoption metrics (percentage of users with passkeys, percentage of logins using passkeys vs. passwords). +- **Credential upgrade flow**: When a user authenticates with a password, prompt them to register a passkey. Present the WebAuthn registration dialog immediately after successful password login to minimize friction. +- **Cross-device passkeys**: Support synced passkeys (passkeys stored in platform credential managers like iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, or 1Password) for users who do not have hardware security keys. These provide phishing resistance without requiring dedicated hardware. +- **Account recovery**: Design recovery flows for users who lose all their security keys: + - Recovery codes generated at enrollment time (printed, stored in password manager) + - Supervised re-enrollment by an administrator after identity verification + - Temporary time-limited password login with mandatory key re-enrollment + - Never allow recovery via email or SMS alone, as these defeat the phishing resistance +- **Password deprecation timeline**: After passkey adoption exceeds the target threshold, enforce passkey-only authentication for high-privilege accounts first, then expand to all accounts. Maintain password as a fallback during the transition window. +- **Monitoring and metrics**: Track registration success rates, authentication failure rates (wrong key, timeout, cancelled), mean time to authenticate, and the ratio of passkey to password logins. + +## Key Concepts + +| Term | Definition | +|------|------------| +| **FIDO2** | An umbrella term for the combination of the W3C WebAuthn API and the FIDO Alliance CTAP2 protocol, enabling passwordless and phishing-resistant authentication using public key cryptography | +| **WebAuthn** | The W3C Web Authentication API that allows web applications to create and use public key credentials via `navigator.credentials.create()` (registration) and `navigator.credentials.get()` (authentication) | +| **CTAP2** | Client to Authenticator Protocol version 2; the protocol used by the browser (client) to communicate with external authenticators over USB, NFC, or BLE | +| **Relying Party (RP)** | The web application or service that requests authentication; identified by its RP ID (a domain) and RP name (display string) | +| **Discoverable Credential (Passkey)** | A credential stored on the authenticator that can be enumerated without the RP providing a credential ID, enabling username-less authentication flows | +| **Attestation** | Cryptographic proof from the authenticator about its identity and properties; used by the RP to verify the authenticator model and manufacturer | +| **AAGUID** | Authenticator Attestation Globally Unique Identifier; a 128-bit value identifying the authenticator model (e.g., all YubiKey 5 NFC devices share the same AAGUID) | +| **Sign Count** | A monotonically increasing counter maintained by the authenticator and included in each assertion; used by the RP to detect cloned authenticators | +| **User Verification (UV)** | Local authentication on the authenticator itself (PIN, fingerprint, face recognition) that proves the person holding the authenticator is the legitimate owner | + +## Tools & Systems + +- **python-fido2**: Yubico's official Python library (v2.0+) providing `Fido2Server` for relying party implementation and `CtapHidDevice`/`Fido2Client` for direct authenticator communication over USB +- **YubiKey 5 Series**: Yubico hardware security keys supporting FIDO2/CTAP2, U2F, PIV, OpenPGP, and OTP; available in USB-A, USB-C, NFC, and Nano form factors +- **py_webauthn**: Duo Labs' Python WebAuthn library providing `generate_registration_options()`, `verify_registration_response()`, `generate_authentication_options()`, and `verify_authentication_response()` functions +- **Yubico Authenticator**: Desktop and mobile application for managing YubiKey FIDO2 credentials, setting PINs, and viewing registered accounts +- **WebAuthn.io / demo.yubico.com**: Online testing tools for verifying WebAuthn registration and authentication flows against real authenticators + +## Common Scenarios + +### Scenario: Deploying FIDO2 MFA for a Development Team + +**Context**: A software company wants to replace TOTP-based MFA with hardware security keys for its 50-person development team. Developers have root access to production infrastructure and are high-value targets for phishing attacks. The company has standardized on YubiKey 5 NFC. + +**Approach**: +1. Provision YubiKey 5 NFC keys (2 per developer: primary + backup) and distribute in tamper-evident packaging with initial PIN setup instructions +2. Deploy the WebAuthn relying party server integrated with the company's SSO (OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect) provider, configured with `authenticator_attachment: cross-platform` and `user_verification: required` +3. Run enrollment sessions where each developer registers both keys to their account, with attestation verification confirming genuine YubiKey 5 NFC AAGUIDs +4. Configure the SSO provider to require FIDO2 as the second factor for all developer accounts, with a 30-day grace period where TOTP remains available +5. Implement a self-service portal for key management: view registered keys, register replacement keys, and report lost/stolen keys (which triggers immediate credential revocation and re-enrollment) +6. After the grace period, disable TOTP for developer accounts. Monitor authentication logs for any fallback attempts and provide 1:1 support for remaining holdouts +7. Achieve 100% FIDO2 adoption for the development team, reducing phishing risk to near-zero for production infrastructure access + +**Pitfalls**: +- Not requiring backup key enrollment, leading to account lockouts when a single key is lost +- Setting `user_verification: discouraged` which allows anyone who physically possesses the key to authenticate without a PIN +- Forgetting to validate the sign counter, missing cloned key attacks +- Not supporting NFC for developers who primarily work from tablets or phones +- Allowing TOTP as a permanent fallback, which undermines the phishing resistance of the FIDO2 deployment + +### Scenario: Implementing Passwordless Login for a Customer-Facing Application + +**Context**: An e-commerce platform wants to offer passkey-based passwordless login to its 2 million users as an alternative to passwords, reducing account takeover from credential stuffing and phishing. + +**Approach**: +1. Implement WebAuthn with `resident_key: required` to create discoverable credentials that enable username-less login +2. Support both platform authenticators (Touch ID, Windows Hello, Android biometrics) and roaming authenticators (security keys) by omitting `authenticator_attachment` +3. Add a "Sign in with a passkey" button to the login page that triggers `navigator.credentials.get()` with an empty `allowCredentials` list, prompting the authenticator to present available passkeys +4. After successful passkey creation, prompt users to create a passkey on a second device for redundancy +5.

Cosign generates an ephemeral key pair, obtains a short-lived certificate from Fulcio binding the public key to the OIDC identity, signs the image digest, and records the signing event in Rekor. The private key is destroyed immediately after signing. +- **Sign a blob (file)**: Run `cosign sign-blob --bundle artifact.sigstore.json` to sign arbitrary files. The bundle contains the signature, certificate, timestamp, and Rekor inclusion proof. +- **Non-interactive signing in CI**: Set `SIGSTORE_ID_TOKEN` environment variable with a valid OIDC token (e.g., from GitHub Actions OIDC or GCP workload identity) to skip the browser-based authentication flow: + ```bash + export SIGSTORE_ID_TOKEN=$(curl -sH "Authorization: bearer $ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN" \ + "$ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL&audience=sigstore" | jq -r '.value') + cosign sign $IMAGE_DIGEST + ``` +- **Supported OIDC providers**: Google (`https://accounts.google.com`), GitHub (`https://github.com/login/oauth`), Microsoft (`https://login.microsoftonline.com`), GitLab (`https://gitlab.com`), and custom providers registered with a private Fulcio instance + +### Step 3: Verify Signed Artifacts + +Verify that artifacts were signed by expected identities from expected OIDC issuers: + +- **Verify a container image**: Run `cosign verify --certificate-identity=name@example.com --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://accounts.google.com` to confirm the image was signed by the specified identity. Cosign validates the certificate chain, checks the Rekor inclusion proof, and verifies the signature matches the current image digest. +- **Verify a signed blob**: Run `cosign verify-blob --bundle artifact.sigstore.json --certificate-identity=name@example.com --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://accounts.google.com` +- **Regex matching for CI identities**: Use `--certificate-identity-regexp` to match CI workflow identities: + ```bash + cosign verify $IMAGE --certificate-identity-regexp="https://github.com/myorg/myrepo/.*" \ + --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com + ``` +- **Verification failure modes**: Cosign returns a non-zero exit code on failure.

Verify bidirectional traffic capture with `tcpdump -i eth0 port 502 -c 100 -w modbus_capture.pcap`. +- **Parse Modbus TCP frame structure**: Each Modbus TCP frame contains a 7-byte MBAP (Modbus Application Protocol) header followed by the PDU. The MBAP header includes: + - Transaction Identifier (2 bytes): Matches requests to responses + - Protocol Identifier (2 bytes): Always 0x0000 for Modbus + - Length (2 bytes): Number of following bytes including Unit ID + - Unit Identifier (1 byte): Slave device address (0-247) +- **Extract function codes with Scapy**: Use Scapy's Modbus contrib module to dissect captured packets and extract function codes, register addresses, and values: + ```python + from scapy.all import rdpcap, TCP + from scapy.contrib.modbus import ModbusADURequest, ModbusADUResponse + + packets = rdpcap("modbus_capture.pcap") + for pkt in packets: + if pkt.haslayer(ModbusADURequest): + adu = pkt[ModbusADURequest] + print(f"Src: {pkt['IP'].src} -> Dst: {pkt['IP'].dst} " + f"Unit: {adu.unitId} FuncCode: {adu.funcCode}") + ``` +- **Enable Zeek Modbus logging**: Configure Zeek with `@load policy/protocols/modbus/known-masters-slaves` to generate `modbus.log` entries containing timestamp, source/destination IPs, function code, and exception responses. This provides continuous passive logging without custom scripting. +- **Validate frame integrity**: Check for malformed Modbus frames where the MBAP length field does not match the actual PDU length, Protocol Identifier is not 0x0000, or Unit Identifier falls outside the expected range for the monitored network. + +### Step 2: Baseline Normal Communication Patterns + +Build a behavioral profile of legitimate Modbus traffic to distinguish normal operations from anomalies: + +- **Catalog function code distribution**: Record the frequency of each function code per source-destination pair over the baseline period. In typical SCADA environments, read operations (FC 01-04) vastly outnumber write operations (FC 05, 06, 15, 16), often at ratios exceeding 100:1. A sudden increase in write function codes is a strong indicator of process manipulation. + ``` + Normal baseline example (72-hour period): + HMI (10.1.1.10) -> PLC (10.1.1.50): + FC 03 (Read Holding Registers): 432,180 packets (97.2%) + FC 04 (Read Input Registers): 10,540 packets (2.4%) + FC 06 (Write Single Register): 1,780 packets (0.4%) + FC 16 (Write Multiple Registers): 0 packets (0.0%) + FC 43 (Read Device ID): 0 packets (0.0%) + ``` +- **Map register address ranges**: Document which holding register and coil address ranges each master polls. PLCs typically expose specific register blocks for monitoring (e.g., registers 0-99 for process values, 100-199 for setpoints). Access to registers outside the documented range indicates reconnaissance or misconfiguration. +- **Establish timing profiles**: Calculate the polling interval (mean, standard deviation) for each master-slave pair. SCADA polling is highly periodic, typically 100ms to 5s intervals. Deviations greater than 3 standard deviations from the mean suggest network issues or injected traffic from a rogue master. +- **Identify authorized masters**: Record all IP addresses that initiate Modbus requests (master role). In a properly segmented OT network, only the HMI server and engineering workstation should act as Modbus masters. Any new source IP sending Modbus requests is immediately suspicious. +- **Register value ranges**: For critical process registers (temperatures, pressures, flow rates, setpoints), record the observed minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation during normal operations. Values outside the physical process bounds indicate either sensor failure or malicious manipulation. + +### Step 3: Detect Function Code Anomalies + +Apply rule-based and statistical detection to identify suspicious function code usage: + +- **Unauthorized write detection**: Alert when a Modbus write function code (05, 06, 15, 16) originates from a source IP not in the authorized writers list, or when write operations exceed the baseline frequency threshold: + ```python + WRITE_FUNCTION_CODES = {5, 6, 15, 16} + AUTHORIZED_WRITERS = {"10.1.1.10", "10.1.1.11"} # HMI and engineering WS + + def check_unauthorized_write(src_ip, function_code): + if function_code in WRITE_FUNCTION_CODES and src_ip not in AUTHORIZED_WRITERS: + return { + "alert": "UNAUTHORIZED_MODBUS_WRITE", + "severity": "CRITICAL", + "src_ip": src_ip, + "function_code": function_code, + "description": f"Write FC {function_code} from unauthorized source {src_ip}" + } + return None + ``` +- **Reconnaissance detection**: Function code 43 (Read Device Identification) and function code 08 (Diagnostics) are rarely used during normal operations. Any occurrence from a non-engineering workstation indicates device enumeration. Also detect sequential scanning where a single source queries multiple Unit IDs within a short window. +- **Exception response monitoring**: Modbus exception codes (01: Illegal Function, 02: Illegal Data Address, 03: Illegal Data Value) in responses indicate the master sent an invalid request. A burst of exception responses suggests fuzzing or protocol-level attacks: + ``` + Exception response correlation: + - Isolated exception (1-2 per hour): Normal operational error + - Burst (>10 per minute): Active scanning or fuzzing attempt + - Continuous (>100 per hour): Denial-of-service or tool malfunction + ``` +- **Forbidden function code detection**: Some environments prohibit certain function codes entirely. Function codes 07 (Read Exception Status), 08 (Diagnostics), 17 (Report Slave ID), and 43 (Read Device Identification) are diagnostic functions that should not appear in production SCADA traffic. Alert on any occurrence. +- **Function code frequency anomaly**: Calculate the chi-squared statistic comparing the observed function code distribution against the baseline distribution. A significant deviation (p < 0.01) triggers an alert even if no individual function code crosses its threshold. + +### Step 4: Monitor Register Values for Process Manipulation + +Detect attempts to manipulate physical process parameters through register value analysis: + +- **Setpoint change monitoring**: Track all write operations to holding registers that control process setpoints (temperatures, pressures, valve positions, motor speeds). Alert when: + - The new value exceeds the defined safe operating range + - The rate of change exceeds physical process capabilities (e.g., temperature setpoint jumping 50 degrees in one write) + - Multiple setpoints change simultaneously, which does not match normal operator behavior + ```python + REGISTER_LIMITS = { + 40001: {"name": "Reactor Temperature Setpoint", "min": 50, "max": 200, "unit": "C", + "max_rate": 5}, # Max 5 degrees per write cycle + 40010: {"name": "Pump Speed", "min": 0, "max": 3600, "unit": "RPM", + "max_rate": 200}, # Max 200 RPM change per cycle + 40020: {"name": "Valve Position", "min": 0, "max": 100, "unit": "%", + "max_rate": 10}, # Max 10% per cycle + } + + def check_register_value(register_addr, new_value, previous_value): + if register_addr not in REGISTER_LIMITS: + return None + limits = REGISTER_LIMITS[register_addr] + alerts = [] + if new_value < limits["min"] or new_value > limits["max"]: + alerts.append({ + "alert": "REGISTER_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE", + "severity": "CRITICAL", + "register": register_addr, + "name": limits["name"], + "value": new_value, + "range": f"{limits['min']}-{limits['max']} {limits['unit']}" + }) + if previous_value is not None: + rate = abs(new_value - previous_value) + if rate > limits["max_rate"]: + alerts.append({ + "alert": "REGISTER_VALUE_EXCESSIVE_RATE", + "severity": "HIGH", + "register": register_addr, + "name": limits["name"], + "change": rate, + "max_allowed": limits["max_rate"] + }) + return alerts if alerts else None + ``` +- **Coil state monitoring**: Track coil writes (FC 05, FC 15) that control discrete outputs (pumps on/off, valves open/close, breakers trip/close). Detect rapid toggling (more than N state changes per minute) which could indicate equipment damage attempts. +- **Register read pattern anomaly**: If a master begins reading register ranges it has never accessed before, this may indicate an attacker using a compromised HMI to map the PLC memory layout before launching a targeted write attack. +- **Correlation with process data**: Where available, compare Modbus register values against independent process sensors (e.g., historian data). Discrepancies between the Modbus-reported value and the independent sensor indicate either sensor spoofing or register manipulation. + +### Step 5: Detect Network-Level Anomalies + +Identify anomalies in communication patterns that may indicate man-in-the-middle, replay, or denial-of-service attacks: + +- **Rogue master detection**: Alert when a new source IP initiates Modbus TCP connections to port 502 on any slave device. Maintain a whitelist of authorized master IPs and generate a critical alert for any connection from an unknown source: + ```python + AUTHORIZED_MASTERS = {"10.1.1.10", "10.1.1.11"} + + def detect_rogue_master(src_ip, dst_ip, dst_port): + if dst_port == 502 and src_ip not in AUTHORIZED_MASTERS: + return { + "alert": "ROGUE_MODBUS_MASTER", + "severity": "CRITICAL", + "src_ip": src_ip, + "target_slave": dst_ip, + "description": "Unauthorized device initiating Modbus connection" + } + return None + ``` +- **Transaction ID anomaly**: Modbus TCP uses transaction IDs to match requests with responses. Under normal operation, transaction IDs increment sequentially per master. Detect: + - Duplicate transaction IDs from different sources (replay attack indicator) + - Transaction ID gaps or resets (session hijacking indicator) + - Responses with transaction IDs that do not match any recent request (injected response) +- **Timing anomaly detection**: Calculate inter-packet arrival times for each master-slave pair. Flag deviations greater than 3 standard deviations using a sliding window: + ```python + import numpy as np + from collections import defaultdict + + class TimingAnomalyDetector: + def __init__(self, window_size=1000, threshold_sigma=3.0): + self.windows = defaultdict(list) + self.window_size = window_size + self.threshold_sigma = threshold_sigma + + def check(self, src_ip, dst_ip, timestamp): + key = (src_ip, dst_ip) + window = self.windows[key] + if len(window) > 0: + interval = timestamp - window[-1] + if len(window) >= 100: + mean = np.mean(np.diff(window[-100:])) + std = np.std(np.diff(window[-100:])) + if std > 0 and abs(interval - mean) > self.threshold_sigma * std: + return { + "alert": "TIMING_ANOMALY", + "severity": "MEDIUM", + "pair": f"{src_ip}->{dst_ip}", + "interval": interval, + "expected_mean": mean, + "deviation_sigma": abs(interval - mean) / std + } + window.append(timestamp) + if len(window) > self.window_size: + window.pop(0) + return None + ``` +- **Connection flood detection**: Monitor the rate of new TCP connections to port 502 per slave device. Modbus slaves typically handle 1-5 persistent connections. More than 10 connection attempts per minute to a single slave indicates a connection flood DoS or scanning activity. +- **Payload size anomaly**: Modbus PDU max size is 253 bytes. Alert on oversized frames that exceed protocol limits, as these may indicate buffer overflow exploitation attempts against vulnerable PLC firmware. + +## Key Concepts + +| Term | Definition | +|------|------------| +| **Modbus TCP** | An application-layer protocol encapsulating Modbus frames in TCP/IP, communicating on port 502. It uses a 7-byte MBAP header (transaction ID, protocol ID, length, unit ID) followed by the Modbus PDU containing the function code and data. | +| **Function Code** | A single-byte identifier in the Modbus PDU specifying the operation: read coils (01), read discrete inputs (02), read holding registers (03), read input registers (04), write single coil (05), write single register (06), write multiple coils (15), write multiple registers (16), diagnostics (08), and device identification (43). | +| **MBAP Header** | Modbus Application Protocol header used in Modbus TCP. Contains Transaction ID for request-response matching, Protocol ID (always 0x0000 for Modbus), Length of remaining bytes, and Unit Identifier for addressing slaves behind gateways. | +| **Holding Register** | A 16-bit read/write register in a Modbus slave addressed at range 40001-49999 (protocol address 0-9998). Used for setpoints, configuration, and control values that can be written by the master. Primary target for process manipulation attacks. | +| **Coil** | A single-bit read/write data element in a Modbus slave addressed at range 00001-09999. Controls discrete outputs (valves, pumps, breakers). Write operations (FC 05/15) to coils can directly affect physical equipment state. | +| **Deep Packet Inspection** | Analysis beyond TCP/IP headers into the Modbus application-layer payload to extract function codes, register addresses, and values. Required because standard firewalls only inspect IP/port, missing protocol-level attacks that use legitimate Modbus framing. | +| **Rogue Master** | An unauthorized device sending Modbus requests to slave devices. In OT environments, only designated HMI servers and engineering workstations should act as Modbus masters. A rogue master can read process data or write dangerous values to PLCs. | +| **Register Value Baseline** | The statistical profile (min, max, mean, standard deviation) of values observed in specific registers during normal operations. Deviations beyond physical process bounds indicate sensor failure or malicious manipulation. | + +## Tools & Systems + +- **pymodbus**: Python library for Modbus protocol implementation supporting TCP, RTU, and ASCII modes. Used for building custom Modbus clients/servers, packet parsing, and simulating master-slave communication in test environments. +- **Scapy (contrib.modbus)**: Packet manipulation framework with Modbus TCP dissector for crafting, parsing, and sniffing Modbus frames. Enables field-level access to MBAP headers, function codes, and register data in captured packets. +- **Zeek (formerly Bro)**: Network security monitor with native Modbus protocol analyzer that generates structured logs (modbus.log) for every Modbus transaction including function codes, register addresses, and exception responses. +- **Wireshark/tshark**: Network protocol analyzer with built-in Modbus TCP dissector for visual inspection of packet captures, filtering by function code (`modbus.func_code == 6`), and exporting specific fields for analysis. +- **GRFICSv2**: An open-source virtual ICS environment for security research featuring a simulated chemical process with Modbus-connected PLCs, HMI, and historian. Used for testing detection rules against realistic SCADA traffic. +- **Suricata**: Network IDS/IPS with Modbus protocol support via application-layer rules that can match on function codes, register addresses, and values for real-time alerting. + +## Common Scenarios + +### Scenario: Detecting Unauthorized Parameter Manipulation in a Water Treatment Plant + +**Context**: A water treatment facility uses Modbus TCP to communicate between the SCADA server (10.1.1.10) and six PLCs controlling chemical dosing pumps, filtration valves, and flow meters. The security team deploys passive Modbus traffic monitoring after an industry advisory about attacks targeting water utilities. + +**Approach**: +1. Deploy a network tap on the OT VLAN switch mirroring all port 502 traffic to the monitoring interface. Run Zeek with Modbus logging and the custom Python analyzer in parallel. +2. Establish a 72-hour baseline during normal operations, cataloging function code distribution, register access patterns, and polling intervals for all six master-slave pairs. +3. Baseline reveals the SCADA server only uses FC 03 (Read Holding Registers) and FC 06 (Write Single Register) to PLC-3 (chemical dosing), with writes occurring 2-4 times per day matching operator shift changes. +4. On day 5, the analyzer detects FC 16 (Write Multiple Registers) from 10.1.1.10 to PLC-3, a function code never seen in the baseline. The write targets registers 40050-40055, which control chlorine dosing rates. +5. Seconds later, a second alert fires: the chlorine dosing setpoint in register 40050 changed from 2.5 mg/L to 25.0 mg/L, exceeding the safe maximum of 4.0 mg/L defined in the register value limits. +6. Cross-referencing with IT network logs reveals the SCADA server was accessed via Remote Desktop from an unauthorized VPN connection 20 minutes before the anomalous Modbus traffic. +7. The operations team is notified, the chemical dosing PLC is placed in manual override, and the incident response team isolates the compromised SCADA server. + +**Pitfalls**: +- Relying solely on IT-side network monitoring (firewall logs, IDS) that does not inspect Modbus application-layer content and would see only a normal TCP connection on port 502 +- Not defining per-register safe operating ranges, which would miss the dangerous dosing rate change despite detecting the unusual function code +- Setting the baseline period too short (e.g., 4 hours) and missing legitimate but infrequent write operations that occur only during shift changes or maintenance windows +- Failing to correlate OT network anomalies with IT network events, missing the RDP session that was the actual attack vector + +### Scenario: Identifying Modbus Device Enumeration from a Compromised Engineering Workstation + +**Context**: A manufacturing plant's SOC observes unusual network activity from an engineering workstation (10.1.2.20) that is authorized for PLC programming. The OT security team uses Modbus traffic monitoring to determine if the workstation is being used for reconnaissance. + +**Approach**: +1. Filter Modbus traffic logs for all activity from 10.1.2.20 over the past 24 hours and compare against the baseline communication profile for that workstation. +2. Baseline shows 10.1.2.20 communicates with PLC-1 (10.1.1.50) only during scheduled maintenance windows using FC 03 and FC 06, approximately 200 packets per session. +3. Anomaly detection identifies 10.1.2.20 sent FC 43 (Read Device Identification) to 15 different IP addresses on the OT VLAN within a 10-minute window, none of which it has previously communicated with. +4. Further analysis shows FC 03 read requests to register ranges 0-9999 in blocks of 125 registers per request, systematically mapping the entire register space of each PLC contacted. +5. The engineering workstation is isolated, forensic imaging initiated, and all Modbus communication from that IP is blocked at the OT firewall. The device identification responses captured reveal the PLC firmware versions that the attacker obtained. + +**Pitfalls**: +- Not flagging the engineering workstation because it is in the authorized masters list, missing that its communication pattern deviated drastically from its baseline profile +- Not detecting sequential register scanning because each individual read request is a valid FC 03 operation; only the aggregate pattern reveals the reconnaissance +- Blocking the workstation before capturing forensic evidence of the attack scope and exfiltrated data + +## Output Format + +``` +## Modbus Traffic Anomaly Report + +**Monitoring Period**: 2026-03-15 00:00:00 UTC to 2026-03-15 23:59:59 UTC +**Network Segment**: OT VLAN 10 (10.1.1.0/24) +**Packets Analyzed**: 2,847,320 +**Anomalies Detected**: 4 + +--- + +### Alert 1: Unauthorized Write Operation + +**Timestamp**: 2026-03-15 14:23:17 UTC +**Severity**: CRITICAL +**Source**: 10.1.2.20 (Engineering Workstation) +**Destination**: 10.1.1.52 (PLC-3 Chemical Dosing) +**Function Code**: 16 (Write Multiple Registers) +**Registers**: 40050-40055 +**Values Written**: [250, 100, 0, 1, 3600, 1] +**Baseline**: FC 16 never observed for this source-destination pair + +**Context**: Register 40050 (Chlorine Dosing Rate) changed from 25 to 250 +(safe range: 10-40).
