description: The following analytic detects the modification of a firewall rule to
|
|
allow the execution of a specific application. This detection leverages data from
|
|
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process creation events
|
|
with command-line arguments related to firewall rule changes. This activity is significant
|
|
as it may indicate an attempt to bypass firewall restrictions, potentially allowing
|
|
unauthorized applications to communicate over the network. If confirmed malicious,
|
|
this could enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or
|
|
maintain persistence within the target environment.

|
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: A network operator or systems administrator may utilize an
|
|
automated or manual execution of this firewall rule that may generate false positives.
|
|
Filter as needed.
