Zorluk: OrtaLog Analysis and SIEM Management

A SOC analyst is reviewing diverse log artifacts collected across enterprise infrastructure. Match each security log artifact signature to the corresponding incident activity or event type it indicates.

  • Windows Security Event ID 4625 with Status Code 0xC000006AFailed user logon attempt resulting from an incorrect password
  • HTTP 403 GET request containing `?file=../../../../etc/shadow`Directory traversal attack attempt targeting system configuration files
  • NetFlow record showing high-frequency 53/UDP outbound flows with unusually large payload sizesPotential data exfiltration via DNS tunneling
  • Linux auth.log entry: `pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication failure; logname=jdoe uid=1001 euid=0`Unauthorized privilege escalation attempt using superuser execution commands

Cevap

Matching pairs: (1) Windows Event ID 4625 with Status Code 0xC000006A corresponds to a failed user logon attempt due to an incorrect password. (2) HTTP GET request with path traversal characters corresponds to a directory traversal attack attempt. (3) NetFlow record with high-frequency, large UDP 53 payloads corresponds to potential DNS tunneling exfiltration. (4) Linux pam_unix sudo auth failure corresponds to an unauthorized privilege escalation attempt.
Each log snippet exhibits unique protocol and system signatures: Event ID 4625 with status 0xC000006A explicitly flags bad password logons; relative path sequences indicate directory traversal; abnormally large UDP 53 packets reflect DNS covert tunneling; and PAM sudo failure messages record elevated privilege execution blocks.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Windows Event ID 4625 and its status code
Identify that Event ID 4625 records failed logons, with 0xC000006A denoting bad password entry.
Correlating event codes with specific Windows sub-status codes allows precise identification of authentication failure causes.
2
Inspect the web server access log string syntax
Recognize path manipulation patterns (`../`) pointing to sensitive system paths (`/etc/shadow`).
Dot-dot-slash characters are characteristic signature elements of directory/path traversal vulnerabilities.
3
Evaluate NetFlow protocol indicators
Associate large outbound UDP port 53 payloads with covert channel exfiltration.
DNS relies on UDP port 53 and normally transmits minor metadata; anomaly detection identifies large payload bursts as tunneling.
4
Examine Linux authentication daemon log entries
Connect `pam_unix(sudo:auth)` failure logs to elevated privileges execution attempts.
The `sudo` command allows standard users to run tasks with effective UID 0 (root), making failed sudo attempts indicators of unauthorized privilege escalation.
