AN1198 Analytic 1198
Windows

Monitors suspicious access to password stores such as LSASS, DPAPI, Windows Credential Manager, or browser credential databases. Detects anomalous process-to-process access (e.g., Mimikatz accessing LSASS) and correlation of credential store file reads with execution of non-standard processes.

WinEventLog:Sysmon EventCode=10 WinEventLog:Security EventCode=4663, 4670, 4656 WinEventLog:Sysmon EventCode=1
[TargetProcesses] List of sensitive processes to monitor (e.g., lsass.exe, svchost.exe)
[KeywordPatterns] Regex for suspicious command-line arguments such as 'dpapi', 'credman', 'mimikatz'
AN1199 Analytic 1199
Linux

Detects access to known password store files (e.g., /etc/shadow, GNOME Keyring, KWallet, browser credential databases). Monitors anomalous process read attempts and suspicious API calls that attempt to extract stored credentials.

auditd:SYSCALL open/read auditd:EXECVE execve
[MonitoredFiles] Paths to password storage files (e.g., /etc/shadow, ~/.local/share/keyrings/)
[SuspiciousCommands] Process or command-line keywords that indicate password extraction attempts
AN1200 Analytic 1200
macOS

Monitors Keychain database access and suspicious invocations of security and osascript utilities. Correlates process execution with attempts to dump or unlock Keychain data.

macos:unifiedlog access to keychain database macos:unifiedlog execution of security or osascript
[AllowedApplications] Whitelist of legitimate processes accessing the Keychain
[AlertThreshold] Number of failed access attempts before raising an alert
AN1201 Analytic 1201
IaaS

Detects attempts to access or enumerate cloud password/secrets storage services such as AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or GCP Secret Manager. Monitors API calls for abnormal enumeration or bulk retrieval of secrets.

AWS:CloudTrail GetSecretValue AWS:CloudTrail Decrypt
[UserContext] Correlate cloud API calls with IAM role, user, or service account context
[AccessThreshold] Number of secret retrievals within a time window before flagging
