name: Unknown Process Using The Kerberos Protocol

description: The following analytic identifies a process performing an outbound connection
on port 88 used by default by the network authentication protocol Kerberos. Typically,
on a regular Windows endpoint, only the lsass.exe process is the one tasked with
connecting to the Kerberos Distribution Center to obtain Kerberos tickets. Identifying
an unknown process using this protocol may be evidence of an adversary abusing the
Kerberos protocol.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
Image|endswith: lsass.exe
condition: selection1
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you must be ingesting your
endpoint events and populating the Endpoint and Network data models.
known_false_positives: Custom applications may leverage the Kerberos protocol. Filter
as needed.
