This guide details how to analyze comprehensive Zeek network logs (conn.log, smb_files.log, ntlm.log, dce_rpc.log, etc.) to detect advanced attacker techniques. It specifically targets indicators of compromise related to lateral movement, such as SMB admin share access, NTLM account spraying, and remote service execution (DCE/RPC patterns). It is a critical network forensics tool for post-incident investigation.

This skill provides comprehensive detection strategies for adversaries abusing DCOM objects (e.g., MMC20.Application) to perform stealthy lateral movement (MITRE ATT&CK T1021.003). It details how to correlate Sysmon Event IDs (Process Creation, Network Connection), analyze WMI activity, and monitor RPC traffic on port 135 to identify unauthorized remote command execution chains. Ideal for advanced threat hunting, red teaming, and purple team exercises.

This advanced skill explores offensive reconnaissance techniques focused on defeating modern operating system security boundaries and mitigations. Topics include kernel/user boundary manipulation, sandbox escapes (AppContainer, LPAC), COM/RPC boundary exploitation, hypervisor interactions, and various integrity level bypassing methods. It is essential for planning advanced privilege escalation paths and understanding deep Windows security architecture, including AMSI, WDAC, and ETW manipulation.
