Remote System Discovery

DiscoveryNone

Where this stands

No Sigma rule can address this — the telemetry MITRE names has no Sigma logsource behind it.

Sigma has no logsource taxonomy for ICS. MITRE's telemetry here is operational historians and controller state, which no Sigma rule can address.

What the technique is

Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of other systems by IP address, hostname, or other logical identifier on a network that may be used for subsequent Lateral Movement or Discovery techniques. Functionality could exist within adversary tools to enable this, but utilities available on the operating system or vendor software could also be used.

What MITRE says you would watch

  • AN1872

    Monitor for files (such as /etc/hosts) being accessed that may attempt to get a listing of other systems by IP address, hostname, or other logical identifier on a network that may be used for Lateral Movement from the current system. Monitor for newly executed processes that can be used to discover remote systems, such as ping.exe and tracert.exe, especially when executed in quick succession. Consider monitoring for new processes engaging in scanning activity or connecting to multiple systems by correlating process creation network data. […]
