Network Sniffing

List of common tools used for network packages sniffing

  • Effort: advanced
Network Sniffing Windows

Network sniffing refers to using the network interface on a system to monitor or capture information sent over a wired or wireless connection. An adversary may place a network interface into promiscuous mode to passively access data in transit over the network, or use span ports to capture a larger amount of data.

  • Effort: intermediate
PasswordDump SecurityXploded Tool

Detects the execution of the PasswordDump SecurityXploded Tool

  • Effort: elementary
PsExec Process

Detects PsExec execution, command line which contains pstools or installation of the PsExec service. PsExec is a SysInternals which can be used to execute a program on another computer. The tool is as much used by attackers as by administrators.

  • Effort: advanced

Configure

This setup guide will show you how to forward your Trellix ePO events to Sekoia.io.

Configure OAuth

  1. Get client_id, client_secret and x-api-token from your Trellix profile. Ensure that the following scopes are associated to your credentials: epo.evt.r, epo.pevt.r, epo.pevt.rp, epo.qery.g, epo.qery.u, epo.reg_token, epo.resp.ra, epo.resp.ru
  2. Make sure you have access to events by making a request from the documentation

Create an intake

Go to the intake page and create a new intake from the format Trellix. Copy the intake key.

Pull events

To start to pull events, you have to:

  1. Go to the playbooks page and create a new playbook with the Trellix trigger
  2. Set up the module configuration with the Client Id and Client Secret. Set up the trigger configuration with the intake key
  3. Start the playbook and enjoy your events
