Threat Hunting

 Bro/Zeek example of decoding many apps:








cat conn.log | bro-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h id.resp_p proto service orig_ip_bytes resp_ip_bytes

cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h id.resp_p proto service orig_ip_bytes resp_ip_bytes

Too many FQDN's finding:









tshark -r thunt-lab.pcapng -T fields -e dns.qry.name | sort | uniq | rev | cut -d '.' -f 1-2 | rev | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10












tshark -r thunt-lab.pcapng -T fields -e dns.qry.name | sort | uniq | head -4

tshark -r thunt-lab.pcapng -T fields -e dns.qry.name | sort | uniq | rev | head -4

tshark -r thunt-lab.pcapng -T fields -e dns.qry.name | sort | uniq | rev | cut -d '.' -f 1-2 | rev | head -4










cat http.08_33_18-09_00_00.log | bro-cut user_agent | sort | uniq -c | sort


Tshark example to extract dns query field:

tshark -r thunt-lab.pcapng -T fields -e dns.qry.name udp.port==53 | head -10


tshark example for extracting user agent:

tshark -r sample.pcap -T fields -e http.user_agent tcp.dstport==80 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | head -10


bro/zeek example for cert check:

cat ssl* | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h id.resp_p validation_status | grep 'self signed' | sort | uniq


ngrep for pattern match on passing packets:

ngrep -q -I odd.pcap Admin | head -15

-q dont print "#" for non-matches

-I read from a pcap file

sudo apt install ngrep

Datamash:

cat conn.log | bro-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h duration | sort -k 3 -rn | head

You may get duplicate entries like same ip showing two connection duration. one is for say 41 seconds and another one is 31 seconds. If you want to combine them both then datamash tool will help you. 

cat conn.log | bro-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h duration | sort | datamash -g 1,2 sum 3 | sort -k 3 -rn | head

https://www.gnu.org/software/datamash/

sudo apt install datamash


RITA:

Rita will make your life easier. 

Beacon:

C2 over dns:

LAB long connections:

useful commands to try



capinfos -aeu <pcap file>

cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h duration | sort -k 3 -rn | head 

cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h duration | sort | grep -v -e '^$' | grep -v '-'  | datamash -g 1,2 sum 3 | sort -k 3 -rn | head


LAB beacon size:

Most connections:


Session size analysis:

cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head

cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h orig_bytes | grep 192.168.99.51 | grep 104.248.234.238 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head


Payload analysis with ngrep:

say you found suspicious ip pair. 

ngrep -q -I trace1.pcap host 192.168.99.51 and host 104.248.234.238 | less


What malicious URI data sending:

cat http.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h id.resp_h uri | grep 104.248.234.238 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn


LAB - C2 over dns:

cat dns.log | zeek-cut query | sort | uniq | rev | cut -d . -f 1-2 | rev | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head



cat dns.log | zeek-cut qtype_name query | grep honestimnotevil | cut -f 1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn


Last lab - doing some repetitive task: 


cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h duration | sort -k 3 -rn | head


cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h duration | sort | grep -v -e '^$' | grep -v '-' | datamash -g 1,2 sum 3 | sort -k 3 -rn | head


cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head


host 167.71.97.235

Install Nessus from docker

Docker installation. Give the below commands one by one. apt install docker-cli or apt install docker.io After the installation is complete, if you are inside wsl then give this command to start docker, because inside wsl systemd (systemctl) does not work: service docker start WSL troubleshooting : If the above command " service docker start " does not work then use below command: dockerd (It may not work if any previous docker process is running. It will show you pid of that process. Use this command to kill that process " kill -9 pid " and run dockerd command again) If " docker ps -a " giving error like " Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///run/podman/podman.sock. Is the docker daemon running? " This is because you may installed podman-docker package. If you remove the package still you will get this error but you should remove the package. Then issue this command: env | grep -i docker DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/podman/podman.sock   --...

Installtion of SQLMutant tool

This tool is perfectly works on ubuntu 24 system. And I found it is not working properly in kali linux 24 version.   https://github.com/blackhatethicalhacking/SQLMutant/tree/main This tool need to use along with sqlmap tool. Showing this cheat sheet for kali or debian based system.  This tool actually analyze everything and give you the vulnerable url where sql injection is possible. You just need to use then sqlmap to exploit that.   Prerequisite: apt install pipx -y (for ubuntu) pip3 install uro or pipx install uro pipx ensurepath pipx completions  (not needed)  source ~/.bashrc   or restart system If go tool is not installed then run the below two commands first ( golang-go ) or follow this link to install go (https://mahimfiroj.blogspot.com/2024/12/installing-nuclei-in-kali.html) otherwise skip this step.   dpkg -l | grep packagename (Using this command you can check package is installed or not) apt install gccgo-go -y or apt install gol...

Installing nuclei and go tool in kali

 First you need to install go: https://go.dev/doc/install You need to download this go tool go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz by clicking the Download button.  Say you are root and download the tool in your Downloads directory. Now run the below command: tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz (if this cmd fails then you need to move this tool to /usr/local folder then run this cmd tar -xzf  go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz) Now add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your $HOME/.profile or /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation): export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin Now use the following command for immediate effect. Preventing you from log off then log back in: source $HOME/.profile go version (to check it is installed successfully) Install nuclei: go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3/cmd/nuclei@latest or apt install nuclei nuclei -update-templates nuclei -u https://www.domain....
