threat hunting | finding long and cumulative connections - part 1

pcap and zeek logs already captured and provided you on a vm for threat hunting.

1. find top 10 longest connection or top 10 talkers:

zeek stores duration in conn.log

trace1.pcap this is our actual file. from this file we have created zeek logs. 

capinfos -aeu trace1.pcap

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

sorting means organizing. 

2. find 10 cumulative communication time between private and legal ip addresses (internal to external) 

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

3. after finding the suspicious ip, now look for dns log to see anything anomaly there or not. zeek extracts all dns related logs into dns.log file.

cat dns.log | zeek-cut query answers | grep 52.179.219.14 | sort | uniq -c

cat conn.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h service | grep 52.179.219.14 | sort | uniq -c

cat ssl.log | zeek-cut id.resp_h server_name subject version | grep 52.179.219.14 | sort | uniq -c

Install Nessus from docker

The below two commands you need to run first one by one:  docker run -itd --name=ramisec_nessus -p 8834:8834 ramisec/nessus docker exec -it ramisec_nessus /bin/bash /nessus/update.sh Username: admin And you need to change the password: #Enter the command line of the docker container docker exec -it ramisec_nessus bash #Execute the following commands in sequence # Enter this directory cd /opt/nessus/sbin # List logged in users ./nessuscli lsuser # Modify the password of the specified user (take admin as an example) ./nessuscli chpasswd admin After access to the nessus, make sure you turn off the automatic updates otherwise crack will not work after some time. Before any scan you need to run the update.sh command (shown above) to have the latest plugins. Now everytime your system reboots, your docker instance will be shutdown. You need to up it again manually. Here are the commands.  1. docker ps -a    Now note down the container id. 2. docker start <container id> C

net command cheat sheet

  To see what users present in the system: net user To see local groups in the system: net localgroup To see domain groups. This should be run on a domain controller: net group To see the details of a user along with his/her group membership: net user mahim To see who are the members of a particular group (local machine): net localgroup "administrators"    (These are not case sensitive. You can use administrators or Administrators. Both will give you same result. To see who are the members of a particular group (domain machine): net group "domain admins" Create a local user: net user localuser1 MyP@ssw0rd /add Create a domain user: net user domainuser1 MyP@ssw0rd /add /domain Add the local user to local admin group: net localgroup Administrators localuser1 /add Add the user to domain admin group: net group "Domain Admins" domainuser1 /add /domain Avi
