Lesson 19 of 32

Writing detections

A good detection looks for attacker behaviour, like many failed logins followed by a success, or a new admin account created at 3am.

Key points

  • Many failures then success = possible brute force
  • New admin accounts deserve a look
  • Tune rules to cut false alarms
