ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360

Overview

ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 is a cloud-based network detection and response platform offering protection and detections for on-premises and cloud environments. In this documentation we will explain how to collect and send Reveal(x) 360 events to Sekoia.io.

  • Vendor: ExtraHop
  • Supported environment: Cloud
  • Detection based on: Telemetry, Alert

Configure

Prerequisites

  • System and access administration privileges for ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360
  • Access to Sekoia.io Intakes and Playbook pages with write permissions

How to create REST API credentials

  1. Log in to Reveal(x) 360.
  2. Click the System Settings icon at the top right of the page and then click All Administration.
  3. Click API Access.
  4. Click Create Credentials.
  5. In the Name field, type a name for the credentials.
  6. In the Privileges field, specify a privilege level for the credentials.

Note

The privilege level determines which actions can be performed with the credential. Do not grant more privileges to REST API credentials than needed because it can create a security risk. For example, applications that only retrieve metrics should not be granted credentials that grant administrative privileges. For more information about each privilege level, see User privileges.

Note

System and Access Administration privileges are similar to Full write privileges and allow the credentials to connect self-managed sensors and Trace appliances to Reveal(x) 360.

  1. In the Packet Access field, specify whether you can retrieve packets and session keys with the credentials.
  2. Click Save. The Copy REST API Credentials pane appears.
  3. Under ID, click Copy to Clipboard and save the ID to your local machine.
  4. Under Secret, click Copy to Clipboard and save the secret to your local machine.

Important

The secret cannot be viewed or retrieved later.

  1. Click Done.

Create your intake

  1. Go to the intake page and create a new intake from the ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360.
  2. Set the intake account configuration using your REST API credentials created on the How to create REST API credentials step.

Enjoy your events on the Events page

Raw Events Samples

In this section, you will find examples of raw logs as generated natively by the source. These examples are provided to help integrators understand the data format before ingestion into Sekoia.io. It is crucial for setting up the correct parsing stages and ensuring that all relevant information is captured.

Detection section

The following section provides information for those who wish to learn more about the detection capabilities enabled by collecting this intake. It includes details about the built-in rule catalog, event categories, and ECS fields extracted from raw events. This is essential for users aiming to create custom detection rules, perform hunting activities, or pivot in the events page.

The following Sekoia.io built-in rules match the intake ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360. This documentation is updated automatically and is based solely on the fields used by the intake which are checked against our rules. This means that some rules will be listed but might not be relevant with the intake.

SEKOIA.IO x ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 on ATT&CK Navigator

Account Added To A Security Enabled Group

Detection in order to investigate who has added a specific Domain User in Domain Admins or Group Policy Creator Owners (Security event 4728)

  • Effort: master
Account Removed From A Security Enabled Group

Detection in order to investigate who has removed a specific Domain User in Domain Admins or Group Policy Creator Owners (Security event 4729)

  • Effort: master
Computer Account Deleted

Detects computer account deletion.

  • Effort: master
Cryptomining

Detection of domain names potentially related to cryptomining activities.

  • Effort: master
Domain Trust Created Or Removed

A trust was created or removed to a domain. An attacker could perform that in order to do lateral movement easily between domains or shutdown the ability of two domains to communicate.

  • Effort: advanced
Dynamic DNS Contacted

Detect communication with dynamic dns domain. This kind of domain is often used by attackers. This rule can trigger false positive in non-controlled environment because dynamic dns is not always malicious.

  • Effort: master
Exfiltration Domain

Detects traffic toward a domain flagged as a possible exfiltration vector.

  • Effort: master
ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 Intrusion Detection Critical Severity

ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 raised an intrusion detection alert with critical severity.

  • Effort: master
ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 Intrusion Detection High Severity

ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 raised an intrusion detection alert with high severity.

  • Effort: master
Password Change On Directory Service Restore Mode (DSRM) Account

The Directory Service Restore Mode (DSRM) account is a local administrator account on Domain Controllers. Attackers may change the password to gain persistence.

  • Effort: intermediate
Possible Replay Attack

This event can be a sign of Kerberos replay attack or, among other things, network device configuration or routing problems.

  • Effort: intermediate
Remote Access Tool Domain

Detects traffic toward a domain flagged as a Remote Administration Tool (RAT).

  • Effort: master
Sekoia.io EICAR Detection

Detects observables in Sekoia.io CTI tagged as EICAR, which are fake samples meant to test detection.

  • Effort: master
TOR Usage Generic Rule

Detects TOR usage globally, whether the IP is a destination or source. TOR is short for The Onion Router, and it gets its name from how it works. TOR intercepts the network traffic from one or more apps on user’s computer, usually the user web browser, and shuffles it through a number of randomly-chosen computers before passing it on to its destination. This disguises user location, and makes it harder for servers to pick him/her out on repeat visits, or to tie together separate visits to different sites, this making tracking and surveillance more difficult. Before a network packet starts its journey, user’s computer chooses a random list of relays and repeatedly encrypts the data in multiple layers, like an onion. Each relay knows only enough to strip off the outermost layer of encryption, before passing what’s left on to the next relay in the list.

  • Effort: master
User Account Created

Detects user creation on windows servers, which shouldn't happen in an Active Directory environment. Apply this on your windows server logs and not on your DC logs. One default account defaultuser0 is excluded as only used during Windows set-up. This detection use Security Event ID 4720.

  • Effort: master
User Account Deleted

Detects local user deletion

  • Effort: master

Transformed Events Samples after Ingestion

This section demonstrates how the raw logs will be transformed by our parsers. It shows the extracted fields that will be available for use in the built-in detection rules and hunting activities in the events page. Understanding these transformations is essential for analysts to create effective detection mechanisms with custom detection rules and to leverage the full potential of the collected data.

event.risk_score float Risk score or priority of the event (e.g. security solutions). Use your system's original value here.
event.risk_score_norm float Normalized risk score or priority of the event (0-100).
event.start date event.start contains the date when the event started or when the activity was first observed.
event.type keyword Event type. The third categorization field in the hierarchy.
extrahop.revealx360.categories keyword
