A comprehensive guide and framework for detecting attacker lateral movement within enterprise networks. It details the use of network flow analysis (Zeek), authentication log review (Windows Event Logs, Kerberos), and dedicated SIEM correlation rules (Splunk, Elastic) to identify techniques like Pass-the-Hash and RDP hopping. Ideal for threat hunters and security engineers building detection pipelines.

This guide details how to implement advanced SIEM correlation rules to detect sophisticated Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). By chaining multiple event types—including Windows authentication events, process execution telemetry, and network connection logs—across hosts, users can surface complex attack sequences that are invisible to single-event detections. It utilizes Splunk SPL and Sigma rule formats for robust security posture enhancement.
