security_content VS Wazuh

There's a ton of valuable resources out there when searching for "detection engineering", beyond that, check https://research.splunk.com/ to get an idea of a structured and contextual approach. Beyond that, check Rob van Os Magma use case framework and any blog you can find on https://correlatedsecurity.com (Jurgen Visser). Last but not least, anything "awesome" on github, e.g. https://github.com/fabacab/awesome-cybersecurity-blueteam

Some additional reading: - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Azure-Sentinel-whitepaper.pdf - here it from the vendor; solid read as correct log sourcing/scoping is SIEM-vendor agnostic; also check the Sentinel KQL github for inspiration - https://research.splunk.com/ - your new browser startpage - check for Azure/MS/M365 rekated content

Indeed, as well as the Okta analytic stories/detections at research.splunk.com. In fact, three new ones published yesterday where Okta and Splunk collaborated on detections.

Our end goal is to achieve maxium coverage against MITRE mapping. Our mapping is pretty low and the management want to achieve this in a cost effective manner. Our analysts are more comfortable with creating alerts and dashboards using standard wineventlogs. When we talk about FDR, they are like "Rabitt in the headlights". We are planning to achieve by end of 2023. https://github.com/splunk/security_content/blob/develop/docs/mitre-map/coverage.png (highlighted in blue). Some of the coverage comes native with EDR and NDR. We have a different map of that one (esp proactive one).

So you want to see if the files in this list are not running out of System32 or SysWOW64.

Build a home lab. Phase 1: Get a good server to run VM's on. Use Proxmox as the hypervisor. Get a managed network switch (used ones on eBay are fine). Setup a span port or get a physical network TAP. Install Zeek and capture all the traffic in and out of your house. Look at the logs. Understand them. Use the free version of Suricata IDS. Examine the logs, understand them. Phase 2: Install Splunk (it has a free version). Push all the Zeek/Suricata logs to Splunk with the universal forwarder. Learn how to use Splunk. Learn the query language. Download APPs, analyze data, build dashboards, setup alerts (https://research.splunk.com/). Phase 3: Setup Honeypots, trigger them to learn how they work. Phase 4: Install Windows and Linux desktops and servers. Use the Splunk universal forwarder to dump all the logs into Splunk. Learn the logs, understand them!

Checkout https://research.splunk.com for stuff like this. Just be careful regarding naming, you will more likely find accurate detections searching by the CVE number.

We have over 1,000 queries (which we refer to as detections) in our publicly-available GitHub Repository in the following folder: https://github.com/splunk/security_content/tree/develop/detections

As for detection libraries, I find lots of people don't know about https://research.splunk.com/

There is currently no feature for excluding specific SCA rules however this feature has been requested here and would be added to the roadmap for future releases.

I use Wazuh instead. Greenbone CE is severely limited and requires payment for anything beyond the very basic. Super simple installation more features.

Seems like something that should be documented somewhere more official than a random reddit post for sure. Added it to https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/1112 for good measure.

Hmm, I've really been wanting to try Wazuh but since all our endpoints (Win10/11) are running a German locale I've run into https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/16842 when checking the compliance checks (CIS benchmarks) on a test installation of 4.6.

Monitoring & Active Measures - Exporting firewall events to an external time-series database like I describe above is good to see who is touching your firewall or accessing your web site. Using an Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata, which is a free package on pfSense, and deploying file system integrity monitoring, such as the open-source Wazuh on the exposed server are also good approaches to protecting yourself.

We are actively working on enhancing the system to allow users to mark vulnerabilities as "not vulnerable" or hide them. You can track the progress of this enhancement on the following GitHub issue: (Enhancement - Mark Vulnerabilities as Not Vulnerable).

Hello, thanks for using Wazuh, I will try to answer your questions: 1- I am going to check with the team in charge to see if there is a way. 2- Untriaged is a default value that is placed on vulnerabilities that do not have low, medium or high values https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/12675 3- As in the previous point, the providers of vulnerability lists have not provided the data.
