description: |-
|
|
Detects usage of the Netspy scanner on an endpoint.
|
|
Netspy is a lightweight, fast, and cross-platform tool designed for internal network segment discovery.
|
|
The tool supports various protocols, including ICMP, ARP, TCP, and UDP, allowing users to scan for active hosts and services within predefined IP ranges.

how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint` data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.
|
|
known_false_positives: Legitimate network administrators may use Netspy for authorized network discovery and maintenance. Filter alerts for approved internal network scanning activities.
