description: This search looks for cleartext protocols at risk of leaking credentials.
Currently, this consists of legacy protocols such as telnet, POP3, IMAP, and non-anonymous
FTP sessions. While some of these protocols can be used over SSL, they typically
run on different assigned ports in those cases.
description: The following analytic identifies cleartext protocols at risk of leaking sensitive information.
Currently, this consists of legacy protocols such as telnet (port 23), POP3 (port 110), IMAP (port 143), and non-anonymous
FTP (port 21) sessions. While some of these protocols may be used over SSL, they typically
are found on different assigned ports in those instances.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)

how_to_implement: This search requires you to be ingesting your network traffic, and
populating the Network_Traffic data model.
For more accurate result it's better to limit destination to organization private and public IP range, like
All_Traffic.dest IN(192.168.0.0/16,172.16.0.0/12,10.0.0.0/8, x.x.x.x/22)
known_false_positives: Some networks may use kerberized FTP or telnet servers, however,
this is rare.
