|
Detects credential stuffing attacks by analyzing authentication logs for login velocity
|
|
anomalies, ASN diversity, password spray patterns, and geographic distribution of failed
|
|
logins. Uses statistical analysis on Splunk or raw log data. Use when investigating
|
|
account takeover campaigns or building detection rules for auth abuse.

# Hunting Credential Stuffing Attacks
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- When investigating security incidents that require hunting credential stuffing attacks
|
|
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
|
|
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
|
|
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Familiarity with security operations concepts and tools
|
|
- Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
|
|
- Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
|
|
- Appropriate authorization for any testing activities
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
Analyze authentication logs to detect credential stuffing by identifying patterns
|
|
of distributed login failures, high IP diversity, and suspicious ASN distribution.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import pandas as pd
|
|
from collections import Counter
|
|
|
|
# Load auth logs
|
|
df = pd.read_csv("auth_logs.csv", parse_dates=["timestamp"])
|
|
|
|
# Credential stuffing indicator: many IPs trying few accounts
|
|
ip_per_account = df[df["status"] == "failed"].groupby("username")["source_ip"].nunique()
|
|
accounts_under_attack = ip_per_account[ip_per_account > 50]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Key detection indicators:
|
|
1. High unique source IPs per failed username
|
|
2. Low success rate across many accounts (< 1%)
|
|
3. ASN concentration from cloud/proxy providers
|
|
4. Geographic impossibility (same account, distant locations)
|
|
5. User-agent uniformity across distributed IPs
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Password spray: one password tried across many accounts
|
|
spray = df[df["status"] == "failed"].groupby(["source_ip", "password_hash"]).agg(
|
|
accounts=("username", "nunique")).reset_index()
|
|
sprays = spray[spray["accounts"] > 10]
|
|
```
