Mapped every skill to NIST CSF 2.0 subcategory IDs (GV/ID/PR/DE/RS/RC functions) based on subdomain and content analysis. Restores 11 skills corrupted during prior rebase, re-enriching with ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF, and CSF 2.0 fields. All 754 skills now carry structured mappings for all 5 security frameworks: - MITRE ATT&CK (in tags) - MITRE ATLAS v5.5 (atlas_techniques) - MITRE D3FEND v1.3 (d3fend_techniques) - NIST AI RMF 1.0 (nist_ai_rmf) - NIST CSF 2.0 (nist_csf)

# Hunting for DCSync Attacks
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- When hunting for DCSync credential theft (MITRE ATT&CK T1003.006)
|
|
- After detecting Mimikatz or similar tools in the environment
|
|
- During incident response involving Active Directory compromise
|
|
- When monitoring for unauthorized domain replication requests
|
|
- During purple team exercises testing AD attack detection
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Windows Security Event Log forwarding enabled (Event ID 4662)
|
|
- Audit Directory Service Access enabled via Group Policy
|
|
- Domain Computers SACL configured on Domain Object for machine account detection
|
|
- SIEM with Windows event data ingested (Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel)
|
|
- Knowledge of legitimate domain controller accounts and replication partners
|
|
|
|
## Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. **Enable Auditing**: Ensure Audit Directory Service Access is enabled on domain controllers.
|
|
2. **Collect Events**: Gather Windows Event ID 4662 with AccessMask 0x100 (Control Access).
|
|
3. **Filter Replication GUIDs**: Search for DS-Replication-Get-Changes and DS-Replication-Get-Changes-All.
|
|
4. **Identify Non-DC Sources**: Flag events where SubjectUserName is not a domain controller machine account.
|
|
5. **Correlate with Network**: Cross-reference source IPs against known DC addresses.
|
|
6. **Validate Findings**: Exclude legitimate replication tools (Azure AD Connect, SCCM).
|
|
7. **Respond**: Disable compromised accounts, reset krbtgt, investigate lateral movement.
|
|
|
|
## Key Concepts
|
|
|
|
| Concept | Description |
|
|
|---------|-------------|
|
|
| DCSync | Technique abusing AD replication protocol to extract password hashes |
|
|
| Event ID 4662 | Directory Service Access audit event |
|
|
| DS-Replication-Get-Changes | GUID 1131f6aa-9c07-11d1-f79f-00c04fc2dcd2 |
|
|
| DS-Replication-Get-Changes-All | GUID 1131f6ad-9c07-11d1-f79f-00c04fc2dcd2 |
|
|
| AccessMask 0x100 | Control Access right indicating extended rights verification |
|
|
| T1003.006 | OS Credential Dumping: DCSync |
|
|
|
|
## Tools & Systems
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| Windows Event Viewer | Direct event log analysis |
|
|
| Splunk | SIEM correlation of Event 4662 |
|
|
| Elastic Security | Detection rules for DCSync patterns |
|
|
| Mimikatz lsadump::dcsync | Attack tool used to perform DCSync |
|
|
| Impacket secretsdump.py | Python-based DCSync implementation |
|
|
| BloodHound | Identify accounts with replication rights |
|
|
|
|
## Output Format
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Hunt ID: TH-DCSYNC-[DATE]-[SEQ]
|
|
Technique: T1003.006
|
|
Domain Controller: [DC hostname]
|
|
Subject Account: [Account performing replication]
|
|
Source IP: [Non-DC IP address]
|
|
GUID Accessed: [Replication GUID]
|
|
Risk Level: [Critical/High/Medium/Low]
|
|
